So basically it’s a step beyond what is done now, noting it is very rare to be questioned about purpose of visit etc on entry now.
EES also introduced biometric checks which are not currently done.
I'd have thought fingerprinting and keeping data for two years (or whatever) could be built into e-gates.
Are we going to have to answer questions on kiosks every visit? I suppose that could be replaced with an app or the like, similar to ETIAS or ETA.
