The Justice and Home Affairs Committee is taking evidence from key stakeholders following the latest delay to the launch of the EU’s Entry / Exit System. This session follows up on the Committee’s recent Inquiry on Border Management and its longstanding interest in UK preparations for launch of EES and ETIAS (the Electronic Travel Information and Authorisation System).
Possible Questions
- What does a further delay to the EES launch mean for ongoing preparations, and what are the cost implications?
- Will any preparations for a 10 November launch of EES now have to be written off?
- What support have stakeholders had from the UK Government when preparing for the launch of EES?
- How have the local authorities and other agencies been working together to prepare for the launch of EES?
- What would a “phased launch” of EES look like?
- What does the delay to EES mean for the launch of the UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)?
