Migrants: Schengen, 28 OK on 3-month Greece ultimatum

09 February, 13:27
(ANSA) - BRUSSELS - The ambassadors of the 28 member states
gathered tomorrow for the so-called Coreper meeting should
approve the Council's recommendations based on evaluations of
the Schengen system giving Greece three months, based on article
19.a of the Schengen code, to take care of the shortcomings
noted. Moreover the recommendation states that when the
three-month deadline expires, article 26 can be activated,
extending by two years controls over certain parts of the
border. If Greece will comply, European sources said, the second
phase will not kick off.
The formal adoption of the recommendation is part of 'point A', or 'without discussion' at the Ecofin Council scheduled on Friday and the three months available for Greece will be calculated starting that day. (ANSA).
