European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says additional work is still needed to address problems linked to a new EU border checking system that has disrupted travel across Europe. Speaking on Friday, she acknowledged that there are “still quite a lot of work to do,” referring to difficulties connected to the system’s rollout and operation. The issues have been blamed for significantly affecting air travel, with flights and passenger processing experiencing serious disruptions. The comment underscores that while the system is in place, authorities are still working to stabilize it and reduce operational impacts on travelers. No alternative timelines or specific technical fixes were detailed in the available reporting, but the statement signals continued engagement by EU leadership to resolve the shortcomings causing disruption. The overall message is that the EU considers the situation not fully resolved and expects further steps before the border checks function without major travel interruptions.
