"Membership of the Schengen area entails complete freedom of movement for citizens of a Member State within this area and the total removal of border controls between Member States. The security of the Schengen area depends on the stringent nature and the effectiveness of the controls imposed by each Member State of the Schengen area at the EU’s external borders.
The free movement of persons is one of the Union’s fundamental rights, while achieving the internal market is based on the free movement of goods, services and persons. The Schengen area is one of the EU’s main achievements. This is why it is important for us to promote and defend the principles which govern it. The economic and financial crisis must not be used as an excuse for certain Member States to introduce restrictions on the free movement of persons. I reaffirm my strong opposition to any new Schengen mechanism with objectives other than reinforcing the free movement of persons. We cannot have double standards when it comes to the Schengen area. I deplore the attempt being made by some Member States to reintroduce controls unilaterally at the EU’s internal borders.
I call on the Commission to evaluate, as a matter of urgency, compliance with the Community
and the Schengen
in the event of the Royal Kingdom of Denmark adopting the decision to reintroduce controls at its borders."@en1
