UK passengers queuing at the French border can expect the waiting time to more than double when digital checks for non-EU countries are introduced, according to a new report.
More than 500 “data kiosks” and 250 tablets have been ordered by France to process travellers, including passengers in their cars on ferries, in the hope that queues at airports, stations and ports will be reduced when the EU’s Entry/Exit System begins – and photos and fingerprints of millions of people need to be taken.
