FOLKESTONE, England (Reuters) -The European Union's plan for a phased rollout from next month of its new post-Brexit digital border system should help prevent long queues and confusion at the UK border, the boss of Channel Tunnel operator Eurotunnel said on Tuesday.
On October 12, the EU will launch its much delayed new Entry/Exit System for UK and non-EU nationals - an automated system that requires travellers to register at the EU border by scanning their passport and having their fingerprints and photograph taken.
