New EU border check system paused for tourists, port officials say
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The introduction of a new digital entry and exit system for tourists in Dover has been paused on the guidance of French authorities. Port officials in the Kent town said the European Union Entry/Exit System (EES) was ready to go from Saturday 1 November, but that implementation had been put on hold, adding they were following instruction from French counterparts."
"The measures are in place for all Britons entering the Schengen area, which consists of 29 European countries, mainly in the EU. For most travellers, the EES checks will take place in foreign airports, but those boarding international services from London's St Pancras railway station, the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel's Folkestone terminal are required to complete EES checks in the UK."
The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and emphasizes parsing facts from messaging. The outlet investigates financial ties like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent declines paywalls and solicits donations from readers who can afford to support quality journalism. Separately, the European Union Entry/Exit System (EES) rollout for tourists in Dover has been paused following guidance from French authorities. Port officials said implementation was ready for 1 November but put on hold while following French instruction. EES checks will record fingerprints and photos for third-country nationals.
