Belgium French border control screw back

Belgium screw back the systematic controls at the French border.

Belgium introduced border controls in late February after a French judge had determined that the refugee camp had to be evacuated in Calais. Belgium feared would attract immigrants from France to Zeebrugge to try to travel to Britain from there.

The temporary introduction of border controls within the passport-free Schengen area is available for a certain period and if there are special circumstances.
