As the EU's Schengen Area is set to expand on January 1, more countries are bringing in internal border checks.
The article from MSN discusses the increasing trend of internal border controls within Europe's Schengen Area, which was originally established to allow for passport-free travel among its member countries. Despite the Schengen Agreement's aim to facilitate free movement, recent years have seen a rise in temporary border checks due to various security concerns, including terrorism, migration crises, and public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries like Germany, France, and Austria have reinstated border controls citing these reasons. The European Commission has been attempting to balance the need for security with the principles of free movement, leading to discussions and proposals for reforming the Schengen system to make it more resilient to such pressures while maintaining its core freedoms. This situation reflects a broader debate on how to manage security, migration, and the fundamental rights of movement within the EU.
