Reports name companies in a case filed in December 2025

November 9 reporting identifies IBM, Atos and Leonardo as defendants in EU IT agency eu-LISA’s lawsuit over delays developing the Entry/Exit System. Reuters attributes the identification to the Financial Times and says it could not independently verify that report. The Guardian separately reports that eu-LISA’s annual accounts record a claim submitted to an Estonian court on December 22, 2025. The new development is disclosure about earlier proceedings, rather than a lawsuit filed today. The agency told the FT that the dispute concerns development delays and does not affect current system operation. The reports do not establish liability. The timestamp records the Guardian’s publication, not the filing. Assessment window: November 8, 2026, 11:54:29.438 UTC–November 9, 2026, 11:54:29.438 UTC.
