Good practice for the operators I'd have thought.. The current plan for British police/Border Patrol to be walking up and down French beaches is an obvious non-starter to all except PP..
BBC news reports that in today's talks (from which PP was disinvited) apparently EU Border Force agreed to do it themselves, from 1st December. How much difference that'll make remains to be seen.
