The EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES) for tourists at Dover has been paused, with processing for cars potentially taking six times longer once it launches. The system is already operational for ferry passengers and was introduced for coaches and freight on 12 October. Port officials are awaiting guidance from French authorities for the activation date. Concerns about delays and confusion surrounding the EES have been raised by travel industry leaders, with many travellers uncertain about its impact on their trips.
