The issue of exceptionally stringent passport checks for Greek passengers in German airports will be discussed on Wednesday at a meeting between experts from the European Commission, Greece and Germany, European Commission spokesperson for Migration Policy Natasha Bertaud announced on Tuesday.
Bertaud pointed out that Germany is one of the countries that have temporarily restored internal border controls, in particular on flights from Greece, in order to address the risk of undocumented migration.
“The Commission takes note of the assurances made by Germany that these measures are targeted and limited to what is strictly necessary to safeguard public policy and internal security, while the impact on freedom of movement will be small,” she noted. She also said that Greece and Germany are working together closely, and following the Commission’s intervention at a political level, a meeting has been arranged between experts from the Commission, Greece and Germany on Wednesday.
