In response to congestion issues at Greek border crossings, the Entry/Exit System (EES) may temporarily adjust its data collection protocols. Officials have indicated that if significant traffic builds up at various border points, the implementation of the EES system could be partially suspended to ensure the continuous and normal movement of travelers and vehicles. This temporary measure would allow for registration procedures to proceed without the collection of biometric data.
According to statements provided by Ioannis Lambropulos, the Deputy Minister for Civil Protection of Greece, this concession is currently valid until April 8th of this year. Furthermore, there is a possibility that this operational adjustment could be extended until September 6th. The necessity for such temporary adjustments stems from persistent congestion observed at several border locations, with particular attention drawn to queues forming at points like Evzoni.
The adjustments aim to mitigate delays and maintain efficient throughput at the border. The modifications to the EES procedures are intended to balance security requirements with the operational need to process people efficiently. By temporarily altering the data capture methods when necessary, authorities seek to prevent bottlenecks and ensure that the border crossing infrastructure can handle increased volumes of traffic without undue disruption.
These measures reflect an adaptive approach to managing passenger flow across Greece’s external borders.
