Common sense at last.The much delayed Entry -Exit System which would have involved Brits being fingerprinted and photographed each time they entered the EU.Looks like being scrapped .This system would have caused long queues and delays at airports. I think Sir Keir may have had a hand in this one when he visited Brussels last week and could be his first gentle step to bringing Britain back into the EU.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.gramps, gulliver or his sidekick nicebloke don't do apologies when they get stuff wrong. gullliver how much money have the EU wasted on this EES, I'll bet it runs into the 100s of millions and they still can't get it to work properly and they started working on it before we even had the referendum to leave the EU.
It might help if Gulliver could actually get his facts right before posting.
Firstly, it looks like the EES might be delayed, rather than scrapped.

Secondly, while there is possibly some doubt as to whether fingerprinting will go ahead in exactly the way that was originally planned, Gulliver's statement that those plans "would have involved Brits being fingerprinted and photographed each time they entered the EU" is simply incorrect.
The UK has issued biometric passports since 2006 and holders of all such passports would only need to be fingerprinted once. Thereafter they could use the self-service system (which is already in place at all major points of entry into the EU) to simply walk through the gates without going to passport control at all:
