The new Entry-Exit System (EES) will impose biometric checks for British citizens and other non-EU travelers, who will be photographed and have their fingerprints scanned at the border. The checks will initially apply to a limited number of passengers, who will need to scan their passport and confirm details about accommodation and funds. The European Commission has stated that this system will make travel smoother and safer, but British authorities are concerned about possible queues at crossing points.
