France and UK to increase staffing at border controls in effort to stave off travel chaos
France and the UK have agreed to increase staffing at border controls to address travel disruptions caused by new fingerprinting and facial recognition checks. Disruption at Channel crossings is expected to rise next weekend as the summer holiday season begins, with MPs warning of potential chaos unless the EU’s entry/exit system (EES) is fixed or checks are suspended.
