France Suspends Extra EU Border Checks at Dover After Hours Long Queues The suspension of extra European Union border checks at Dover, following hours long queues on Saturday, has highlighted a critical issue threatening to undermine the EU's carefully crafted plans for enhanced security measures.
The introduction of the European Electronic System (EES) for border control was meant to streamline the process and reduce congestion at ports like Dover, but its rollout has been marred by inefficiencies.
The May bank holiday proved to be a major test for the EU's border checks, but not in the way officials might have hoped.
