European Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee proposes flexible Entry-Exit System rollout plan
The European Parliament's Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee (LIBE) voted on 23 April 2025 to amend the European Commission's Entry-Exit System implementation proposal. The amendments give member states discretion to choose between gradual or immediate system rollout. For gradual implementation, the Committee proposed extending initial compliance deadlines, requiring 10% of border crossings to be registered by day 30 rather than day one, and reducing the 90-day target from 50% to 35% of crossings.
