Allegedly, it’s not working very well. This is due to people with greasy sweaty mitts pressing down really hard on the fingerprint scanner and so leaving sweaty fingerprint marks. After a while the scanner can’t tell the old sweaty marks from the actual fingers on the scanner.
There’s precious little the EU does, that works very well in this regard.
Apart from ensure free and unfettered passage to aliens across multiple borders to the home counties.
When countries like Greece throw the baby out with the bathwater, you know things are grim.
We are travelling Spain on Santander ferry in September .

I'm going through there on Monday, been thinking the same
A month ago I was fingerprinted coming into Tarifa, and exiting Spain via Santander.
I came through Santan on 26th April.
Didnt get out of car but there was a large f off camers aside the customs officer.
Didnt stamp our passports and when I asked why not he said.
" Not needed any more"

Came through Santander headed to Portsmouth last Sunday. It was the same as our outbound journey- not a sniff of EES.
Daughter 1 flew from East mids to Kos with no problems all straight through;
Daughter 2 flew from Manchester to Poland; and it took over 3 hours to sort out;; this was last wk.

We crossed to Santander on 28/29th April. All but one of about a dozen or more border control booths open. Hand passports over for their scan, look at camera, fingers on fingerprint reader and done. Took about 2minutes per person so a bit but not much longer than it used to take.
We flew into Malaga a week or so back. The EES thing had is queuing for about 20 minutes ish.
The biggest cause of the slow progress was the morons in the queue just standing there when more that one of the machines was green and didn’t have someone stood in front of it.
Idiots!!
As we’d been through before in was very quick once it was our turn…and no, we didn’t have to go together because of separation anxiety/panic/etc.

Greece has confirmed that the British are officially exempt from the EES......They (wisely) don't want to piss us off.
Daughter 2 and only son on Crete/Kefalonia right now - Zero issues.
That's handy as off to kos in a few weeks
I have to do Malaga next Thursday. I shall blame YOU if I struggle - Keep your phone on......
