European Union Sues IBM, Atos, and Leonardo Over Delays in Border Control System
The European Union has sued IBM, Atos, and Leonardo over repeated delays in developing the Entry Exit System (EES), a digital border control system for the Schengen area. The system, designed to monitor non-EU nationals' entry and exit, faced technical issues and missed deadlines, with full rollout delayed until 2024. The companies contested fines, citing external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic. EU-Lisa stated the lawsuit concerns development delays and does not affect the system's current operation.
