Today, the European Commission is presenting a new Strategy to make the largest free travel area in the world - the Schengen area - stronger and more resilient.
The Schengen area is home to more than 420 million people across 26 countries. The removal of internal border controls between Schengen States is an integral part of the European way of life: almost 1.7 million people reside in one Schengen State and work in another. People have built their lives around the freedoms offered by the Schengen area, with 3.5 million people crossing between Schengen States every day.

Why do we need a Strategy for the Schengen area now?
The Schengen area is the largest free travel area in the world and one of the main achievements of the European Union. While its foundations have proven solid, recent crises and challenges have put Schengen to the test. The 2015 refugee crisis exposed shortcomings in the Union s management of the external borders and of migration, leading to internal border controls being reintroduced in a number of Member States. Internal border controls were also reintroduced in response to terrorist threats. More recently, the coronavirus pandemic has placed major strain on the Schengen area, with more Member States reintroducing internal border controls, at times jeopardising the proper functioning of the internal market, disrupting supply chains within the EU as well as the movement of people, especially those living and working in border regions.

Strasbourg, France, Jun 2, 2021 / 04:45 am (CNA).
The European Parliament is due to vote on an “extreme” report calling on all European Union member states to allow access to abortion.
The report, presented by Croatian politician Predrag Fred Matić, also seeks the recognition of a “right to abortion” and the redefinition of conscientious objection as a “denial of medical care.”
The report was tabled May 25 for a vote at the next plenary session of the European Parliament, the EU’s law-making body, in Strasbourg, France, on June 7-10.
Pro-life groups have expressed alarm at the report, which they say violates the established principle that abortion laws fall within the competence of member states, rather than EU institutions.
