DOVER, England (Reuters) -Britain's Port of Dover is confident the EU's new biometric border checks will not result in traffic congestion in the peak summer season despite warning it will take six times longer to process each car, its boss said on Wednesday.
On Sunday, the European Union will start to phase in its much delayed Entry/Exit System (EES) for all non-EU citizens, including British visitors - an automated system that requires travellers to register at the border by scanning their passport and having their fingerprints and photograph taken.
