\n The EES\u2019s scanning requirements may see delays for Eurostar check-in at the UK border.
\n ADVERTISEMENTThe EU\u2019s long-delayed Entry\/Exit System (EES) is scheduled to finally come into force in 2025.The official website for Europe\u2019s new digital border system for non-EU nationals confirmed it would be rolled out this year, but has not given an exact date.\u00a0EU officials say the system is being introduced to bolster border security and identify travellers who overstay their permitted time in the Schengen Area (90 days within a 180-day period).It\u2019s expected that just 10 per cent of Europe\u2019s border crossings will have automated barriers when EES launches.\u00a0But concerns are growing over how it will affect wait times at border crossings.\u00a0How will the EES affect border crossings?The EES will be an automated registration system for UK and other non-EU travellers who don\u2019t require a visa to enter the EU.Travellers will need to scan their passports or other travel documents at a self-service kiosk each time they cross an EU external border. It will not apply to legal EU citizens or residents or those with long-stay visas.The system will register the traveller\u2019s name, biometric data, and the date and place of entry and exit. Facial scans and fingerprint data will be taken every three years and are valid for multiple trips within that period.\u00a0New automated barriers required at all international land, maritime and air borders in the Schengen Area are being installed, one of the myriad reasons for the system\u2019s nearly nine-year delay.\u00a0Eurostar scraps fast-track check-in systemThe EES\u2019s scanning requirements have forced Eurostar to change its check-in system at the UK border.\u00a0The rail operator is scrapping a service that lets selected passengers skip the double passport control at London\u2019s St Pancras train station.From 13 February, Eurostar will stop its SmartCheck option for Premium, Carte Blanche, and Etoile Club members.\u00a0The service allows passengers who register their details on the iProov.me identification app to take advantage of facial recognition technology at St Pancras. This lets them bypass the manual passport check by a UK immigration officer and go directly to French passport control.However, the system is being removed ahead of the introduction of the EES to prepare for the facial scanning and fingerprinting requirement for Brits upon entering the EU for the first time.There are concerns that the new system will lengthen passenger processing times at St Pancras, though Eurostar says they will increase control kiosks to minimise disruption.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENT\u201cWe\u2019re removing SmartCheck as we continue to make some changes at the station in preparation for the launch of the EU\u2019s new Entry\/Exit System (EES),\u201d Eurostar said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cAs part of these preparations, we\u2019re improving our border control area with new ePassport gates and extra passport control booths.\u201cThis will help us ensure the border control process is as smooth as possible for passengers travelling in the coming months and after EES has launched.\u201dDelays expected at Dover ferry crossingsFrench authorities will also operate EES border checks at the UK\u2019s Port of Dover. They are currently working with the UK government to minimise the system\u2019s impact on border flows and traffic, but express concern about potential waiting times.ADVERTISEMENTGovernment agencies and representatives for the tourism industry have said that the EES will likely cause long queues for ferry traffic sailing from Dover to Calais.Guy Opperman, a minister in the UK\u2019s transport department, has since explained the scheme will have a \u201csix-month soft launch\u201d to make the process more simple.\u201cIf one got to a situation where there were a certain amount of queues or delays, then the provisions of the precautionary flexibility measures allow for much greater freedom of passage of vehicles, coaches, HGVs and cars,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cThat takes care of so much of the queuing, so many of the complications.\u201dADVERTISEMENTDoug Bannister, chief executive of the Port of Dover, has also now confirmed that the system will not be introduced until November 2025.EES automated barriers will be gradually introduced to minimise delaysOther countries are still working on EES implementation plans, too. The European Commission (EC) is allowing a six-month phased implementation of the system to reduce the likelihood of long waiting times at borders.This approach will give the participating nations more flexibility to fine-tune their technology and navigate unexpected issues.The goal, according to the EC, is to have the new system working at 10 per cent of border crossings in every member state on day one. During this soft launch period, travellers\u2019 passports will continue to be stamped, as well as electronically recorded.ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
