Great Britain's commercial road transport and the European Union's Entry/Exit System

6 Aug 2026

The study

The study has 2 parts:

Part 1 – methodology

Sets out an approach for monitoring and evaluating EES impacts on GB goods and passenger transport operators, covering:

It also proposes proportionate data collection for future analysis as EES is implemented.

Part 2 – operator expectations

Presents survey and interview findings on operators’ exposure, awareness, preparedness, compliance with the Schengen 90/180-day rule, and expected operational and workforce impacts.

  • operator exposure
  • awareness and preparedness
  • current compliance with the Schengen 90/180-day rule
