French police temporarily suspend extra EU border checks at the Port of Dover, aiming to ease congestion after long delays for travellers crossing the Channel to France. Multiple outlets report that holidaymakers face queues extending into the hours-long range at the ferry terminal in Kent, with wait times reported as more than two hours by some accounts and longer in other reports. The disruption occurs during hot weather and a heatwave, with temperatures reported around the low 30s Celsius, contributing to discomfort while people wait. One outlet says roads around the port are heavily congested again, with travellers experiencing prolonged traffic delays to access the site. The checks relate to the EU’s entry-exit system (EES), which began full operation about a month earlier and replaces passport stamps with a digital registration process. The suspension is described as temporary, and the reports indicate that the situation is being managed to reduce pressure on border and ferry operations at Dover while travellers continue to travel to France.
