Immigration Controls: EU Countries
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department has taken to support the transport sector in preparing for the introduction of the EU Entry/Exit System.
- Answer
-
The Department is working closely with the transport sector, as well as the haulage and logistics sectors, to ensure that they are prepared for EES, and will be engaging with their passengers and members to ensure awareness.
The Government has been working particularly closely with the UK’s juxtaposed portals where the EES collection and verification are undertaken, along with the French Government on ensuring there are robust plans in place for EU implementation at these portals. This includes looking at additional Government funding to support these portals given the specific challenges they face.
