Italy has extended for another 15 days its partial suspension of Schengen rules for Spain.
People arriving from Spain by plane or ship will continue to undergo border checks, despite the Schengen agreement normally allowing travel without such inspections.
Italy introduced the measure after a migration crisis in Ceuta, which belongs to Spain. Italy’s Interior Ministry said the situation there remained difficult and that the decision followed an assessment by specialists, along with a review of steps taken by Spain and the European Union to restore normal conditions.
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi discussed the matter with Spain’s Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska.
