Plakalo: ETIAS introduction prolonged for 2022, EES system steps in first

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, November 30 (FENA) - Secretary-General of the European Movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina Haris Plakalo, due to the great interest of BiH citizens in the implementation of the ETIAS system (European Travel, Information and Authorization System), which should have been in force as of January next year, confirmed that this system will ultimately be operable by mid-2022 instead, until full implementation and compatibility with the new entry-exit system at the EU's external borders is achieved, and full interoperability of ETIAS itself is expected thereafter.

"The entry-exit system (EES) is a new system established by the European Commission, which aims to better control the external border of the EU and the Schengen area, whose implementation is expected to start next year.

The plan is that after the operability of this system is in place, there will be a compact operation with the ETIAS system, which would be interoperable with the entry-exit (EES) system in 2022.

Data registering of all third-country nationals entering and leaving, i.e., crossing the EU's external borders, aims at additional security for both the citizens of the European Union and the Schengen area itself," Plakalo points out.

He also emphasized certain novelties of the EES system.

"Stamping of travel documents or passports will become a thing of the past, and the system itself will replace passports, because they will no longer be needed after the EES system starts recording all data on entry and exit to and from the European Union.

The entry and exit process itself will be much faster and easier, the system will record and check the name, document validity, fingerprint, face scan. All this is a preparation for the implementation of ETIAS, and in the context of strengthening security within the European Union, its citizens, borders, but also all those who visit and reside within the Union," underlined Plakalo from the European Movement in BiH.
