New EU entry exit system Oct 12th

I confusing nothing. The new regs are NOT designed to deal with ESS they are completely designed to stop illegal immergration.

Go read them and come back.

And it’s nothing to do with UK Border control btw.

Im never said it was anything to do with UK Border Force. And EES is NOT designed to deal with immigration - suggest you follow your own advice and read the Regs.

The opening sentence of the EU's own explanation of the EES is: QUOTE 'The European Entry/Exit System is a border check for non-EU nationals travelling to the Schengen area of 29 European countries for short stays' END QUOTE

I have one question, would I have to go through the whole process of finger prints etc every journey, or is it a one time thing?

The way I understand it, once they have your biometrics, both facial image and finger prints, you will generally only be required to provide one on entry/exit. Biometrics updated at 3 year intervals.
 
Just travelled from Hull to Rotterdam. It took longer than normal and the new system hasn't started yet!
What was the purpose of our visit (holiday)
We were asked how long were we out for.(2 months,)
Where were we staying. ( in the motorhome). He had to consult with his supervisor for that.
Were we coming back through the same port.(didn't know)
Did we know we can only stay 90 days (yes)

We were allowed to go then.

I thought they were practicing too.
 
I have had similar when entering the Nederlands with the questions, never happens in France
 
There may have been an occasion, but I can't remember if I've never not been asked where I'm going. They don't care where you are heading, just make it easy for them. Lourdes, Metz, Dussuldorf? No one cares as long as the box is ticked.

New
castle -Amsterdam Tues/Wed .
Newcastle quick glance in back of van . Someone went round van with mirror underneath, not sure what they were looking for .
Amsterdam checked inside . Then was asked where I was going . "Poland" , "why Poland?" , "why not?"
"WHY NOT EH!"
Decided not to be cheeky any more but that was it
 
Strangest question I’ve been asked was leaving Guernsey in the car last year. Pulled over into the customs area to be asked only one question - do you have any guns sir?
Turned out I was behind a group of cars where the guys were all heading off to a shoot in Wales and they had all declared their shotguns! Customs bloke presumably assumed I was with them.
