UE a dat în judecată IBM din cauza sistemului ce a creat haos pe aeroporturile europene

The European Union has sued IBM, Atos, and Leonardo over delays in developing a new border control system. EU-Lisa, the agency managing this project, initiated the lawsuit due to repeated setbacks in the Entry/Exit System (EES) implementation. This system is crucial for tracking non-EU citizens entering and exiting the Schengen Area. Despite the legal action, EU-Lisa stated that the ongoing operations of the EES are unaffected. The contract for the EES was awarded in 2019, but the companies have faced challenges, including external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic. The EES has been operational since April 2023, but its rollout has encountered significant issues, prompting calls for its suspension from airlines and airports due to passenger delays.
