Finally some common sense.
I guess I know where my fellow brits will be heading if Europe doesn’t run out of jet fuel
„Here, have a taste of what it is like to be in the EU again“
The queues in Athens airport have been insane recently
I went to Spain recently and there were no issues with queues using the EES
Used EES on my trip to Madrid last month. Luckily it was late at night so it wasn’t busy but I imagine an airport at peak business being funnelled through those finicky kiosks is going to be hell.
Loved Greece, this is great news.
Now the UK will surely exempt Greek citizens from ETA in return, right? Right?
What does it mean though? How are they gonna process people in line with SBC, legally speaking? I assume they won’t just not collect the data since that would pretty much be grounds for suspending Greek Schengen membership. And if they just skip kiosks and register everything at the booth, what exactly are they saving?
Does this not prove that the ees is a punitive and completely arbitrary measure from the EU then?
Ok, I have two big questions:
* How are they allowed to do this without EU authorization?
* Is it permanent or just an emergency measure?
I literally half jokingly commented on a post here the other day about EES, saying that the Spanish economy would fall apart if British tourists stopped going there. Well now we already see Greece (who also get a lot of British tourists) realise what a huge deterrent travelling to an airport with EES is and realise that having it is really not a good idea if they want their tourism industry to survive.
Just had mine done at CDG in France, the machines weren’t working so they were registering people manually without much of a problem.
