The EU's post-Brexit Entry/Exit System (EES) will launch on 10 November, EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson has confirmed. “The moment is finally there. There may have been times you believed it will never happen,” Johansson said during a visit to the Tallinn-based eu-LISA, the EU agency in charge of the IT infrastructure behind the EES. “But it's going to happen. Everything is coming together. We're in the final testing phase. There is a real momentum now.

Concerns are growing over political instability in Bulgaria, which could disrupt several ongoing negotiations with the European Union.

Former Bulgarian Deputy Foreign Minister Milen Keremedchiev said he expected the election battles that have started in the EU to have an impact on the choice of Commissioner. "In my opinion, it will probably come to the decision...

The European Commission has asked Hungary to explain its recent decision to ease visa requirements for Russian and Belarussian citizens, which Brussels worries "could lead to a de facto circumvention" of the bloc's restrictions and undermine the safety standards across the passport-free Schengen Area.

Giving potential Russian spies and saboteurs easy EU access would undermine the security of us all," said Ylva Johansson, the Europen Commissioner for Home Affairs. "If their easy access scheme is a risk, we will act." In a letter ad...

On the ponderous, three-hour train journey between Romania’s capital Bucharest and the town of Brasov, I’m reading what is probably the most famous book set in the country.

After being delayed for years, the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is expected to come into force this autumn. Brits and other ‘third-country’ holidaymakers will need to register their arrival and departure from EU and Schengen Area countries by having their photo and fingerprints taken at passport control. This will replace the manual passport stamp. But many travellers remain uncertain about how the system - and the follow up European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) due in mid-2025 - will work. Euronews Travel spoke to travel bodies, agents and experts to find out what advic...

Planning a year out to explore Europe? The ‘90-day’ rule is likely to catch you out: it stipulates that non-EU nationals with a valid visa can only enter Schengen Area countries for a total of 90 days in a 180-day period. That applies in 25 out of the 27 EU countries, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. It might feel like that leaves little time to explore the continent - but don’t pack up your bags to go home just yet. Here’s where to break up your stay so you remain on the right side of Europe’s 90-day rule \- and avoid a potential one-year ban - as recommended by trav...
