From the cited article ...

... The Entry/Exit System (EES) is the new IT system that digitally records the entry and exit of non-EU nationals travelling to 29 European countries* for short stays.

The system has already recorded over 300 000 movements, with the number continuing to grow daily. The EES began implementation on 12 October 2025 and will be fully operational by 10 April 2026. ...

I do support this.

Why?

Because as I have stated many times on this most august site, if you are in the Country illegally, you should leave or be deported.

However, when I have stated that, I have usually added, but we need to be aware of the effects upon the economy of such a policy.

Therein lies the conundrum.

EUROPOL also updated its Most Wanted list and her sister agency INTERPOL recently helped capture a most wanted Canadian fugitive who was hiding in Qatar: Links: EU Fugitives; Red Notice

ICC-indicted war criminals Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, ex-DM Yoav Gallant, and Russian President Vladimir Putin will not appear in the publicly available portions of EUROPOL and INTERPOL websites. INTERPOL RED NOTICES are not international arrest warrants, so any files of these nefarious ethnic cleansers are internal to EUROPOL and INTERPOL systems only.

Remember that "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" dude from the early 1960's?

Well, he's back, and more interesting ...

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Be Not Too Hard (1974)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Be not too hard for life is short
And nothing is given to man
Be not too hard if he's sold or bought
For he must do the best he can

Be not too hard when he blindly dies
Fighting for things he does not own
Be not too hard when he tells lies
Or if his heart is sometimes stone

Be not too hard for soon he'll die
Often no wiser than he began
Be not too hard for life is short
And nothing is given to man

Be not too hard when he blindly dies
Fighting for things he does not own
Be not too hard when he tells lies
Or if his heart is sometimes stone

Be not too hard when he blindly dies
Fighting for things he does not own
Be not too hard when he tells lies
Or if his heart is sometimes stone
...
