EUROPE is finally set take tough action to shore up its disastrously weak borders after MEPs said they had learned the “tough lessons” of Angela Merkel’s migrant madness.

Eurosceptics said they were vindicated following years of being called xenophobes and racists as euro politicians were poised to approve a major security crackdown.

Tomorrow MEPs will vote on a package of no-nonsense proposals which will bring in automatic checks on all people travelling in and out of the bloc by land, sea and air.

The measure will target both EU and non-EU citizens and is designed to help the bloc combat the twin threats of Islamist terror and uncontrolled immigration.

During a debate on the proposals at the EU parliament in Strasbourg today eurosceptics said it was madness that European authorities do not already know who is coming in and out of the continent.

Former Ukip MEP Steven Woolfe said the report represented a major U-turn for Brussels and demonstrated that conservative politicians had been right all along about border controls.

He said: “We were ridiculed and name called, xenophobes, racists, casually thrown out.

“This paper says border controls are in the interests of member states. Those of us who have been saying that for years are vindicated.

“Only the people of Europe are saying why did it take you so long to come to the same conclusion?”

Under the proposals EU member states will be required to carry out systematic checks on all travels entering and exiting the bloc’s external borders and to share information on potential terrorists via security databases.
