Starting December 9, the Netherlands will introduce controls on its land borders with neighboring Schengen countries. This was reported by Reuters with reference to a statement by the Ministry of Migration, UNN reports.
Details
It is noted that control will be introduced for some flights from the Schengen area.
These measures will last for six months and are part of the migration restriction measures proposed by the right-wing coalition led by Geert Wilders' anti-Muslim nationalist PVV party.
Recall
A number of Schengen countries have temporarily re-established border controls due to increased migration and security threats. The reasons cited include pressure on the refugee reception system, terrorism, and the effects of the war in Ukraine.
Schengen rules allow this "as a last resort" to prevent serious threats to internal security and public policy.
