Eurotunnel is delighted to welcome the new partnership agreed
between the United Kingdom and the European Union.
This agreement, which ends a long period of uncertainty, will
benefit both businesses and travellers alike.
It is with this in mind that we have launched the Eurotunnel
Border Pass. This new service will enable customers to upload all
the data needed for their journey to a virtual wallet, accessible
during their crossing by Eurotunnel and the authorities of the two
states, in a highly secure format. Although this agreement has been
reached only one week before the end of the Transition period,
during which European Union law has continued to apply in the
United Kingdom, this agreement will be applied by Eurotunnel from 1
January 2021.
Since the Referendum in the UK in 2016, Eurotunnel has worked
with the two governments to provide its customers with the fastest
and easiest service for crossing the Channel. The Group has
invested €47 million to modernise and adapt its infrastructure to
ensure the fluidity of both the border crossing and the traffic
through the Tunnel. The Eurotunnel Border Pass in particular will
enable the transfer of data needed for goods to cross the border
from hauliers to Eurotunnel and then from Eurotunnel to the
authorities in each country in a secure digital form, without truck
drivers having to leave their vehicles or even present a document
at the border crossing.
Yann Leriche, Chief Executive Officer of Getlink
(Paris:GET), stated: “Eurotunnel and its 2500 employees are
committed to providing a reliable high-performance service to
facilitate our customers’ lifestyles, as is our role as the
uncontested leader across the Channel.”
Jacques Gounon, Chairman of Getlink, stated: “Getlink, an
authentic bi-cultural Group is very well placed to benefit from
this agreement. We thank the negotiators on both sides, who often
don’t get the recognition they deserve.”
