The European Union’s border-free travel zone could be suspended for two years under emergency plans in response to the migrant crisis.
Leaked documents show EU leaders are planning to bring back checkpoints across the continent.
The radical change, which will allow countries to restore controls for two years rather than the six months currently permitted, will be debated by interior ministers in Brussels tomorrow.
Countries in the Schengen zone are pushing for Greece to be suspended from the scheme because of its failure to manage the vast numbers of people coming in. At least two of the terrorists involved in the Paris attacks came into Europe through the island of Leros posing as refugees.
Final decisions on the future of Schengen are expected to be made at a summit of all EU leaders later this month. Britain is not a part of the 26-nation area.
Greece has been the main point of entry into the EU for about 700,000 migrants and refugees this year.
