The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) for non-Schengen travellers has been postponed again, with no new launch date set. Initial hopes for a November start have been dashed, and the scheme may not be implemented until 2025. Concerns about the system's readiness and the potential dropping of fingerprinting have left the travel industry in uncertainty. Some experts view the delay positively, suggesting it allows for better preparation and testing of the system. The EU plans to discuss the rollout further, but major countries like Germany, France, and the Netherlands are not ready to adopt the system yet.
