Guess its not just the Brits who couldn't organise a p-up in a brewery.

Hi
Latest info is that the Entry/Exit Systems (EES) will be introduced prior to ETIAS.
ETIAS will start a few months later

Still no actual dates

Hi
Looks as though ETIAS and EES are now delayed to 2025. Again no date

Hi
Reported in the press today is that EES will start in Autumn 2024.
Also states that ETIAS about 6 months later.

The official EU reports still state   ETIAS will start in June 2025 with EES starting earlier is that.

Hi

A reminder of EES

https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees_en . Official EU website

Hi
For those that travel to Romania and Bulgeria, from March 2024, both countries will become part of the Schengen area and border controls will be lifted at air and sea borders.

Discussions on a further decision to lift controls at land borders will continue in 2024.
The EU  Council will decide  on this matter and is expected to be taken within a reasonable time frame.

Hi

Yet another delay. EES due to start in October 2024 has again been delayed. Now expected to be 2025 (no date)

This is likely to delay ETIAS as this is (currently) due to start after ESS is introduced

Delay reported to be due to  the development of an app to smooth the process.

Keep collecting  passport stamps
