UK holidaymakers forced to give fingerprints before heading to EU in new law

A new piece of legislation means that UK holidaymakers will be fingerprinted before they travel to EU countries like France, Greece, Italy and Spain.

The new EU Entry and Exit System (EES) was set to be introduced last year, but was delayed to May 2023, reports Yorkshire Live. The introduction of the law was further delayed again until the end of 2023.

The EES is an automated IT system that will register travellers from non-EU countries so they can head abroad to EU countries. The Government has confirmed that this includes the UK.
