“EES will require fingerprints and facial scans to be taken from UK travellers heading to EU countries”
Jaysus.
To me that sounds frightening. I remember when the Yanks brought that in and that marked the end of any visits to or transits through the States because no-way would I trust such intensely personal data to the authorities of a foreign country with a history of abusing such.
I live in the EU – I live in Ireland (therefore stuck under the Ireland-UK Common Travel Area). I’ll never have to face this BUT still find it frightening, the idea of handing over to the authorities such private information.
>Almost two thirds of UK adults are unaware of the EU’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) which is scheduled to launch later this year.
I’m pretty certain half of UK adults had no clue what they voted about in the Brexit referendum.
Should’ve thought of that before voting to become a third country in regards to the Schengen Agreement and the EU. They wanted to be exempt the rules and be separate, and now that they are, they whine and cry because all isn’t as they thought it would be.
Good. Let them travel to whatever country will allow them to do it without submitting their precious fingerprints.
Oh no!
Anyway …
The canaries will be ghost towns
UK 🇬🇧 is Europe too, so no problem!
I remember having to do a facial scan when I came back to the UK in manchester airport, tf is so frightening about it?
If they don’t like it, they can stay home.
No one is mentioning that EU citizens have to go through the same thing to enter the UK. And UK and EU citizens have to get the ESTA for the US, which is the same. You can get them online and the cost is minimal. The US one collects your fingerprints and face scans you on arrival.
Isn’t this new Entry/Exit System not just a tit-for-tat to the US ESTA system?

Great reporting. Love how they forget about RoI.
Well they are receiving just the same treatment the rest of UE citizens have been dealing with to enter UK since even before brexit.
so as European I am getting to know now that they where not request fingerprint scan and photo with facial scan recognition before? And why me yes even if I am just going to stay waiting for my flight some hours in one of their airports?
The EU took back control of its borders. What’s not to like? That’s exactly what Brexit was about.
To the Eurozone… they are already in Europe. Ffs
