31º aniversario de Schengen: declaración del Comisario europea de Asuntos Interiores y Ciudadaná, Dimitris Avramopoulos.  

Statement by Commissioner Avramopoulos on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of the Schengen Agreement. 

Marking the 31st anniversary of the Schengen Agreement, Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship, Dimitris Avramopoulos said: "Schengen is one of the most cherished achievements of European integration. On today’s anniversary, we are reminded of the daily importance and benefits of the Schengen Area without internal borders for both European citizens and businesses. That is why the Commission is committed to safeguarding a Europe without internal border controls in the common interest of all European citizens.
In recent months, Schengen has been severely tested by the migration crisis which exposed certain deficiencies at our external borders, resulting in the introduction of temporary internal border controls by a few Schengen countries.
However, temporary border controls not only hamper the free movement of our citizens, they also come with significant economic costs. According to our estimates, a full re-establishment of border controls within the Schengen Area would generate immediate direct costs for the EU economy of between €5 and €18 billion annually.
