Reports that the introduction of the European Entry and Exit System (EES) is to be delayed has been welcomed by business group Logistics UK.
The system, which will see passengers fingerprinted on entry to the EU, was due to be introduced from 10 November.
A spokesperson said: “While a new introduction date has yet to be confirmed by the EU, it is vital for our sector that the UK government maintains close conversation with its European counterparts to ensure that the test of Member State readiness has, at its core, the smooth flow of freight and trade across the Channel; a critical GB EU supply chain route.”
