Eurostar公司在伦敦圣潘克拉斯进行的欧盟边境检查现在使用生物鉴别技术,一些联合王国旅行者不到一分钟就得到处理。 Eurostar's EU border checks at London St Pancras now use biometrics, with some UK travelers processed in under a minute.

Eurostar报告说,伦敦圣潘克拉斯站的欧盟初步边境检查表现良好,一些英国旅行者在50秒内通过入境出境系统(EES)办理手续。 Eurostar reports that initial EU border checks at London’s St Pancras station are performing well, with some UK travelers processed through the Entry Exit System (EES) in as little as 50 seconds. EES要求非欧盟旅行者进入申根地区时提供生物鉴别数据,目前在圣潘克拉斯、多佛港和欧洲隧道Folkestone终点站活动。 The EES, which requires biometric data from non-EU travelers entering the Schengen Area, is now active at St Pancras, the Port of Dover, and Eurotunnel’s Folkestone terminal. 圣潘克拉已安装了49个预先登记亭,但目前只由法国边境官员进行检查。 Forty-nine pre-registration kiosks have been installed at St Pancras, though checks are currently handled only by French border officers. Eurostar的首席安全官员指出,全面收集生物鉴别技术、核实护照和EES印章的处理时间很长,预期未来几周自动预先登记亭推出后会进一步改进。 Eurostar’s chief safety officer noted strong processing times for full biometric collection, passport verification, and EES stamping, with further improvements expected as automated pre-registration kiosks are rolled out in the coming weeks.
