(16) Each Member State should establish an ETIAS National Unit responsible for examining applications and deciding whether to issue or refuse, annul or revoke travel authorisations. The ETIAS National Units should cooperate with each other and with the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) for the purpose of assessing applications. The ETIAS National Units should be provided with adequate resources to fulfil their tasks in accordance with the deadlines set out in this Regulation. In order to facilitate the decision-making process and the exchange of information between Member States and to reduce translation costs and response times, it is preferable that all ETIAS National Units communicate in a single language.
