Spain Prolongs Border Measures Following Italy’s Schengen Decision
(MENAFN) Spain extends temporary border controls on travelers arriving from Italy after Rome decides to prolong its suspension of Schengen rules with Spain following last month's migration crisis in Ceuta.
The Spanish Interior Ministry says the additional measures will remain in place for another 15 days and will apply to passengers arriving “by sea or air from Italy,” according to reports.
The extended checks are scheduled to continue through Sept. 21.
Madrid's decision follows Italy's move to extend its own suspension of the Schengen Agreement with Spain for another 15 days. Rome initially introduced the measure on Aug. 1 after a large number of people crossed irregularly from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
Spain responded to Italy's original decision by introducing random inspections of travelers arriving from Italy, and the latest extension maintains those controls.
The migration crisis in Ceuta occurred on July 30-31, when approximately 72,000 people crossed irregularly from Morocco into the Spanish territory, according to the Spanish government's official estimate.
