WorldTravellers to EU face renewed queues as border-check flexibility rules expire

Flexibility measures for the EU’s Entry/Exit System expire on 6 September, raising the prospect of renewed queues for travellers. Sources say some member states will not enforce biometric checks, while technical problems in France may mean no change next week for cross-Channel travellers. Airlines and travel groups are urging the European Commission to extend the suspension powers.
