Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports a two-year trial of drive-through biometric kiosks at Eurotunnel, authorised by the European Commission and French authorities, largely in the words of Getlink's chief executive. The article includes his admission that the kiosks are not yet connected to the French system, and it reports that France and eight other EU states have not fully deployed the entry and exit system. We found nothing in the piece that misleads its reader.
“our kiosks are there, they are can function but the connection with the French system is still not working”
The article reports the chief executive's own admission that the system does not yet work with France's, which tempers the upbeat framing.
“nine of the 27 EU member states, including France , have yet to be deploy it fully because of continued technical issues”
It gives the reader the concrete scale of the delay to the entry and exit system rather than only the company's account.
