France and UK to increase staffing at border controls in effort to stave off travel chaos

The News

France and the UK have agreed to increase staffing at border controls to address potential travel chaos from new EU entry/exit system (EES) checks, which include fingerprinting and facial recognition. Disruption at Channel crossings is expected to rise sharply at the start of the summer holiday season. MPs have warned of severe tailbacks unless the EES is fixed or checks are suspended. The move aims to stave off expected travel disruptions.
