French police will have to photograph British babies’ faces at the border unless the EU accepts the use of new passport technology.
EU officials last night confirmed that there would be “no exceptions” to the need for facial imagery under the bloc’s entry and exit system (EES), suggesting even infants will have to provide data.
At present, non-EU travellers’ passports are stamped and they are subjected to a series of questions when they cross the border into the bloc.
