Italy extends Schengen suspension with Spain for another week

Italy has extended its suspension of the Schengen visa-free travel agreement with Spain for another week, aligning the end dates of border controls in both countries.

• Italy announced Friday it extended its Schengen suspension with Spain for another week, aligning the measures' end dates in the two countries.
• The suspension took effect on July 31 after more than 72,000 migrants crossed into Spain's Ceuta enclave from neighboring Morocco.
• A Spanish government spokesman said the two countries' interior ministers will work next week to lift the border control measures.
• Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said the measures concern Italy's border security while terrorism risks remain.
