For a month, Germany has reestablished controls at all its land borders, including with France. For their part, Romania and Bulgaria are awaiting full membership and the lifting of controls on the roads.
Borders :
In Germanycustoms officers have had more activity since the reestablishment of road border controls with France, but they can count on the valuable work of the binational police and customs cooperation center. France has 6 centers of this type, on its different borders. The first, Franco-German, celebrates its 25th anniversary on October 9. This is the opportunity to visit it, in Kehl, with our correspondent Wyloën Munhoz-Boillot.
Bulgariawhich partially integrated the EU free movement area at the end of March 2024, hopes, like Romania, for a lifting of controls at its land borders and full accession to the Schengen agreement, by the end 2024. But the result of the legislative elections in Austria could thwart the ambitions of Sofia and Bucharest. The explanations of Damian Vodenicharov.
Natality :
In Greece, in the early 1980s, the rate of birth rate allowed the renewal of the population. Since then, the fertility rate has fallen below the threshold of 1.5 children per woman, and the population has decreased by 3% in ten years. The causes are varied: a decade of economic crisis, strong ambient pessimism, but also profound changes in lifestyles. Today in terms of births, within the EU, only Malta and Italy are in a worse position. Report from Athens Joel Bronner.
