EU border checks suspended at Dover port due to holiday weekend delays

French border authorities temporarily suspended extra EU entry-exit system checks at the Port of Dover on Saturday as thousands of travelers faced wait times exceeding two hours during a peak holiday period. The suspension invoked Article 9 of the EES regulations, allowing border processing to be expedited while conventional checks continued. Wait times improved after the suspension as travelers attempted to cross to France during the hottest day of the year.
