Border controls: Criticism from Juncker • Table.Briefings

Former EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has expressed his criticism of the extended border controls on entry to Germany that were introduced on Monday. „I am not a friend of border controls because they are associated with massive inconvenience for commuters,“ Juncker told the German Press Agency in Luxembourg.
