Commission criticized for not scrutinising Schengen border closures
“Free movement is one of the fundamental freedoms of the EU”, said the European Court of Auditors in its report.
The European Commission failed to properly scrutinise member states’ actions in closing their borders to other members of the Schengen Zone during the first part of the Corona pandemic. This is the main conclusion of a report by the European Court of Auditors (ECA) which was published on Monday (13 June 2022).
