It will require non-EU visitors to register theirhas even advised British tourists to avoid travelling to the EU for at least two weeks after the system comes into force.
He said: “New computer systems, especially as complex as this, have a habit of being unpredictable and failing, so I wouldn’t be booking any travel to Europe in the period they are due to be introduced.“The systems will need a proven period of stability to reassure visitors.
