Germany to extend some border controls for another 6 months

Due to "a considerable amount of illegal migration"

12 October, 11:38
(ANSA) - BERLIN - The German government says it will extend passport controls along some of its national borders for another six months starting in November, AP reported.

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said in a written statement Thursday that the authorities will continue controls along the German-Austrian border and on flights coming in from Greece, due to "a considerable amount of illegal migration" and the heightened security situation in Europe following several attacks in recent years. He has informed the country's European partners about Germany's move. (ANSA).
