(adjacent, long). Resolves YES if, by 23:59 CET on 13 December 2026, a Commission text on the press corner, home-affairs.ec.europa.eu or travel-europe.europa.eu names a date on or after 10 April 2027 from which EES biometric checks must be enforced at all external borders or extends the suspension option to that date or later, while an earlier date, a date for ETIAS alone, or no text resolves NO. If those pages are unreachable, BBC News and the Guardian settle it, and silence resolves NO.
Only one of six recent warnings got a new date in writing. We looked at every public warning since 2023 that an EU border system would miss its start date. The warnings came from member states, from eu-LISA, the EU agency that runs the systems, and from airlines and airports. We checked whether the Commission or eu-LISA put a new start date, an extension or an exception in writing within 30 days. The newest cases come first.
