Biometric identification of foreign travelers entering the EU would have been required from Oct. 6, but many people were unhappy with the date.
To avoid chaotic scenes along the border and at the airports at the end of the summer and not to disrupt trade, the European Commission decided to postpone the introduction of the entry system until mid-November.
According to the British press, the exact date is not yet known, but the actual launch may be between Nov. 10 and 17.
