News brief
EU launches new border controls Sunday.
The program helps keep tabs on visitors from outside the European Union. The entry-exit system, known as EES, registers facial scans, fingerprints, and passport information at the border. The controls are similar to others in Britain (the Electronic Travel Authorisation or ETA) and the United States (Electronic System for Travel Authorization or ESTA). It is part of a wider push across Europe to curb illegal immigration.
