well, this new it system is supposed to replace that traditional stamp in the passport, and it'll mean that there's basically more oversight of who is entering and leaving the eu. now, for british travellers, it will mean that they'll have to scan their passport at an automated kiosk, where their details will be registered. now, the system is already delayed. it was due to come in back in october 2022, but even so, there are still plenty of concerns about what this will mean amongst the industry, about how these changes will come in and whether it will lead to more disruption and queues at places, in particular like the port of dover, eurotunnel and eurostar, where those border checks are actually carried out by french officials before people leave the uk. this app is being developed by the european commission and it's one of the ways that many people hoped some of these issues could be speeded up and smoothed out. but now the chief executive of eurostar, gwendoline cazeneuve, has confirmed to the bbc that she's not expecting that technology to be ready by the time these changes come
