Warnings of potential delays at the UK’s Dover port under a new EU system could be worse than previously estimated, according to testimonies given to the UK Parliament’s European Scrutiny Committee. The launch of the EU Entry-Exit System (EES) is expected to cause significant disruption at the Port of Dover and its surrounding area in South East England. Travelers from non-EU countries, including the UK, will be required to undergo fingerprint scanning and have their photograph taken as part of the new system. Critics fear that the implementation of EES could result in extensive delays, surpassing the anticipated 14-hour wait times. This development has raised concerns over the potential impact on trade and the movement of goods between the UK and EU. As the launch date of EES approaches, further scrutiny and contingency plans are being called for to mitigate any potential disruption.
