“The European Commission has today proposed a Recommendation, to be adopted by the Council, to prolong proportionate controls at certain internal Schengen borders in Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, where controls already take place – according to the Council Recommendation of 12 May – for a period of a further three months. Despite the progressive stabilisation of the situation, the Commission considers that the conditions of the “Back to Schengen” Roadmap allowing for a return to a normally functioning Schengen area are not yet fully fulfilled….
The prolongation, which the Commission is recommending for a further period of three months, concerns the same internal borders as that recommended on 12 May:
– Austria: at the Austrian-Hungarian and Austrian-Slovenian land border;
– Germany: at the German-Austrian land border;
– Denmark: in Danish ports with ferry connections to Germany and at the Danish-German land border;
– Sweden: in Swedish harbours in the Police Region South and West and at the Öresund bridge;
– Norway: in Norwegian ports with ferry connections to Denmark, Germany and Sweden.”
