EU: "SMART BORDERS": Commission Background Note (pdf) Covers Registered Traveller Programme (RTP) and the Entry-exit system (ESS), two measures yet to be adopted. The Note makes no mention of the extension of the EES to cover travel within the EU as a majority in the Council are backing nor of ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation). The total cost of the RTP and EES between 2013-2020 is estimated to be 1,335 million euro.
