The EU introduces a new entry system: how the EES works in Poland and Hungary

Implementation of the Entry/Exit System in the EU

The European Union is implementing a new entry and exit system for its countries, which has already been actively operating in Poland and Hungary. As reported on November 28 by Andriy Demchenko, a representative of the State Border Guard Service, the Entry/Exit System (EES) started functioning on October 12. Poland and Hungary have already connected all their border crossing points to this new system, aimed at simplifying entry and exit control from EU territory.

Status of implementation in other countries

Currently, Romania and Slovakia are still working on the implementation of the EES. The system's filling is planned to last for six months, with the initial filling level set at 10%. This means that the system is gradually picking up pace to ensure effective functioning in all countries that are implementing it.

Andriy Demchenko noted that despite the introduction of the EES, no failures or decrease in traffic intensity have been recorded in the directions where the system is already functioning.

This indicates that the innovations are not negatively impacting the flows of vehicles and pedestrians at the borders. Thus, the implementation of the EES in Poland and Hungary is proceeding without significant problems, which is a positive sign for the further development of the system in other countries.

The introduction of the Entry/Exit System within the EU is an important step in ensuring security and control at the borders, as well as in managing migration flows. A successful implementation in Poland and Hungary can serve as an example for other countries that are still working on implementing this system. Observing its functioning and adapting to new conditions may allow for optimizing control processes and increasing the efficiency of border services throughout the European Union.
