There has recently been a lot of toing and froing about this in the online version of the Majorca Daily Bulletin

There’s a lot of toing and froing with the MDB! Not convinced by the accuracy of much of it.

I’m home a week and found the entering queue fast. I got through but hubby had to join the family queue. Fast through there as well. We both went through the passport scan machines only returning. I hope we didn’t miss out a step?

Thats correct. You only need to do photos and fingerprints every 3 years

I Wish! As I’ve previously stated - we registered in December and came through ‘registered’ channel in March and April. In May we again went down the ‘registered’ route to EGates but EGates said NO! So had to go back and re - register - a few people also refused. Very fortunately there was not a queue. So when we travel in June let’s see if the EGates work! Just to say we also registered in Salzburg in January - wouldn’t accept that we had already registered - said different country!!! Hopefully teething problems but I’m not sure. At least Palma are very organised with many machines.

One has to wonder where all this “lost” personal information ends up and who has unfettered access to it.
