Border control is introduced in France for 1 month

Starting from November 13, on the French borders with all neighboring countries the control of entry will be introduced. Restriction will last until December 13, for the work at border crossings will be involved more than 30 thousand policemen.

Restrictive measures are related to the preparation for the UN World Conference on Climate in Paris from 29 November to 12 December.

Security measures will be strengthened gradually: from 13 to 19 November the measure will be selective, closer to the event control will be strengthened. Travelers will be required to provide documents approving their right to stay on the Schengen territory.


The Ministry of Internal Affairs of France emphasizes that there will not be a complete closure of borders, contrary to the replicated information in the press that France for a month is out of the Schengen area. The introduction of border controls is a temporary measure, and corresponds to the appropriate Articles 23-25 of the Schengen Borders Code.


This is not the first time France makes the entrance restrictions - similar measures were introduced in 2009, before the NATO summit in Strasbourg and in 2011 - during the G8 summit in Deauville, and G20 in Cannes.
