AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The Netherlands will impose controls on its land borders from Dec. 9, a spokesperson for Migration Minister Marjolein Faber said on Monday (NASDAQ:), confirming an earlier report by Dutch news agency ANP.
The controls on borders, all of which are with fellow countries in the EU’s Schengen border-free zone, are set to last six months, part of a wider crackdown on migration proposed by the right-wing coalition led by the anti-Muslim nationalist PVV party of Geert Wilders. They follow a similar move by neighbouring Germany.
