Holidaymakers travelling with Eurotunnel will be able to complete new EU biometric border checks from their cars after the European Commission approved a drive-through system at Folkestone and Calais.

Owner Getlink hopes the setup will prevent long queues as Europe's delayed entry and exit system finally rolls out in full.
