EU rejects suspending biometric border controls and delays ETIAS pre-authorisation system.
EU officials rejected calls from airlines and airports to suspend the Entry/Exit System (EES) biometric border controls despite acknowledging 20 "difficult spots" with queue delays. The EU also confirmed it is delaying the introduction of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). The EES has recorded 110 million journeys and refused entry to approximately 44,500 people since beginning last October.
