Prepare for Half Term Queues at Dover Due to EU Border Process, Port Says The Port of Dover is anticipating significant delays during the half term break due to the implementation of the Entry Exit System (EES) across all external borders of the Schengen free movement area.

France has not switched on the machines that will take fingerprints and photos under EES, which will affect tourists heading into France and Spain, two of the most popular holiday destinations for British travelers.
