en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Port of Valencia (Puerto de València) in Spain has inaugurated the country's first passenger border inspection post compatible with the European Entry/Exit System (EES). The facility, developed in collaboration between the Port Authority of Valencia (APV) and the Ministry of the Interior (Ministerio del Interior), aims to enhance the efficiency and security of external border management.

The activation of the new inspection post strengthens identity verification, document checks, and passenger service processes, contributing to more agile, secure, and efficient migration flow management. The total project budget is $1.367 million, with 75% of the funding co-financed by the European Union through the Internal Security Fund (FESI).

The main structure of the inspection post consists of a modified container equipped with border inspection technology. The facility features large windows, thermal insulation, a lighting system, furniture, and advanced technical equipment for passport reading and passenger services.

The construction of this facility represents a concrete initiative by the Port Authority of Valencia (APV) in active cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and European institutions to improve external border management. This measure also contributes to advancing the prevention, detection, and investigation of actions related to terrorism and other serious crimes.

The European Entry/Exit System (EES) records entry and exit data, as well as entry refusal information, for third-country nationals crossing the external borders of EU member states. To streamline operational procedures, tablets for verification, monitoring, and registration have also been introduced to strengthen the inspection team's capabilities and enhance the efficiency of border information management.
