Tengrinews.kz - France has reinstated its border control, according to Schengen News.
France informed the European Commission that from November 1 of this year until the end of April 2025, it will resume checks at all its land, air, and sea borders with Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and Italy. The reason cited is a security threat to the country.
France has maintained such measures for nearly a decade. The latest extension was supposed to end on October 31, 2024. However, French authorities notified the European Commission that border control will remain in place.
The Schengen Border Code of the Commission allows EU member states to temporarily reinstate border controls at internal borders "in cases of a serious threat to public order or internal security.”
"Serious threats to public policy, public order, and internal security posed by high-level terrorist activities, the growing presence of criminal networks facilitating irregular migration and smuggling, and migration flows that risk infiltration by radicalised individuals," said in France's notification to the Commission on the Reintroduction of Border Controls.
France's justification to the European Commission also mentions "an increase in violence among migrants, particularly in northern coastal areas such as Dunkirk and Calais, leading to tense and dangerous situations involving both migrants and the country’s law enforcement agencies."
