The Entry-Exit-System EES - or Entry/Exit System (EES) - is a large-scale IT system planned by the European Union for the automatic monitoring of the border-crossing of third-country nationals. It will be installed at the external borders of the Schengen Area. It will be based on the EU-Regulation 2017/2226 [1]

Function

The task of the system is to collect data of border-crossing of third-country nationals at the external border of the EU and to abolish the stamping of passports. Collected data will by e.g. the name and date of birth of the traveller. Beside of these alphanumeric data it is planned to store biometric data like pictures and fingerprints.


Operation

It will be operated by the EU's IT-Agency Eu-Lisa. The system launch is scheduled in 2020. [2]
