The Independent: EU council president Donald Tusk says the EU’s open border system could be about to collapse
He says there is a 'race against time' to save the Schengen Agreement
The European Union’s open border system could be about to collapse, the president of the bloc’s European Council has said.
Donald Tusk said the survival of the Schengen system, which guarantees passport-free travel between most EU member states and some non-member states, was subject to a “race against time”
The comments come as countries including Germany, Sweden, and Slovenia tighten up temporary border restrictions and erect fences to manage refugees arriving in their territory.
WNU Editor: When member states are hurrying to build fences .... yup ... one can then safely say that the EU's open border system is about to end.
