Macron proposes EU internal borders council for Schengen
By EUobserver
The EU needed a "real Schengen Council to supervise the Schengen area, like what we have for the eurozone" French president Emmanuel Macron said in a speech in Tourcoing, France, Wednesday, following a meeting with EU interior ministers, AP reports. The passport-free Schengen travel zone covers most EU states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. The eurozone is governed by a so-called Eurogroup of finance ministers, which meets regularly.
