EU – Feb 13

At an informal meeting of the Heads of State in Brussels on Thursday, February 12, European Union leaders agreed that stricter measures need to be implemented for travelers entering the Schengen Area, a border–free zone of twenty–six European countries.  EU citizens entering the area would still be able to avoid extensive ID checks, under the Schengen agreement.   Leaders hope that these strengthened measures will “disrupt terrorist travel”.
