According to Bloomberg News, Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wants to make it easy for his residents to go to the EU.
The newspaper added Sunak hopes to utilize stronger EU relations to allow Britons to use EU e-gates for passport checks, which would speed up border crossings.
A British official told Bloomberg that ambassadors are pressing the matter informally.
Northern Ireland, which has remained under EU laws since Brexit due to its open border with Ireland, struck a commercial deal with the EU in February.
According to Bloomberg, the British government is seeking full access to the bloc’s e-gates to avoid delays caused by EU plans to take biometric data from the UK and other “third-country” nationals to obtain visa waivers in 2024.
