      Brexit: Eurotunnel Hands over the New Douane-SIVEP Control 
      Centre to the French Authorities
    

    

    

      On Thursday 4 April, Eurotunnel (Paris:GET) officially handed over 
      buildings intended for customs, veterinary and phytosanitary inspection 
      services, to the French authorities, represented by Fabien Sudry, Prefet 
      of the Pas-de-Calais region.
    

      The Douane-SIVEP control centre will be open 24/7 for Ministry of 
      Agriculture officials and customs officers. It provides 9 unloading 
      docks, a refrigerated storage area, 100 parking spaces for trucks 
      waiting for sanitary and phytosanitary controls and 1,000-square-metre 
      offices for the various border services, as well as Eurotunnel staff to 
      direct customers to Registered Customs Representatives operating on 
      behalf of hauliers.
    

      In addition to the control centre Eurotunnel has also created an equine 
      facility and expanded two pit-stop areas for truck processing, two coach 
      halls and two buildings with tax reclaim zones.
    

      At the same time, Eurotunnel unveiled new e-gates with facial 
      recognition in the coach hall, which are currently awaiting official 
      approval, and which will speed up French border police checks.
