Though registration kiosks are due to open in UK in two weeks, system may not be fully enforced for nine months
Biometric registration to visit the EU may not be fully enforced for another nine months, with border officials allowed to relax the rules to alleviate queues or chaos at ports after the system finally goes live.
In just over two weeks, Eurotunnel, Eurostar and the Port of Dover will all open new biometric registration kiosks in the UK, installed at a cost of tens of millions of pounds.
