Italy and Spain have reached agreement on removing border controls against each other, ending a three-month dispute caused by the influx of migrants towards the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The news was announced Thursday by Italy’s Interior Ministry.
The Italian right-wing government suspended agreements on free movement with Spain on July 31st, arguing that it intended to ensure that migrants entering Ceuta did not continue their journey to Italian territory.
In response to that decision, Madrid had imposed similar measures on Italy, naming Rome’s actions as unfair, contrary to the interests of the European Union and discrimination against the population of Spain, Telegrafi broadcast.
According to the Italian Interior Ministry’s announcement, the interior ministers of the two countries held a telephone conversation, during which they agreed not to extend the suspension of the Schengen area agreements, which enable movement without regular border controls among participating countries.
The Italian ministry announced that the decision was taken following a careful assessment of the situation. Under the deal, the two sides will step up the exchange of information, with the aim of ensuring the security of the Schengen common zone.
