EU sues IBM and two European firms over troubled entry/exit border system

The EU has filed a lawsuit against IBM and two other companies involved in its troubled border-management system, an internal document has revealed.

The bloc’s IT agency, EU-Lisa, filed a case last year against IBM, the French IT company Atos and Italian defence contractor Leonardo, the three members of a consortium to implement and maintain the EU’s entry/exit system, which was launched in October 2025.
