EU Migration Commissioner urges Schengen border removal
The European Union Immigration Commissioner, Austrian Magnus Brunner, called for an end to border checks within the Schengen area, with the gradual reopening of internal borders, especially between Austria and neighboring countries. He attributed this to the improved external border security and the implementation of new asylum and immigration rules since June of last year, noting that illegal migration decreased by 37% in the first six months of 2026, with an expected reduction of up to 55% over the next two years. He considered that the new migration and asylum agreement supports freedom of movement across Europe.
