The European Commission has issued opinions on the temporary reintroduction of internal border controls by Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia and Sweden.

While EU law allows for the temporary reintroduction of internal border controls under certain conditions, it also requires the Commission to issue an opinion when such controls last more than 12 months. The opinions issued today assess the necessity and proportionality of the notified internal border controls, as well as available alternative and mitigating measures taken by Member States to limit negative consequences on cross-border travel.

The Commission remains committed to upholding the principles of free movement and security across the Schengen area. The opinions issued today include recommendations to enable Member States to work towards phasing out and gradually lifting internal border controls.

More information is available in the press release.
