German Officials Call For Reduced Border Controls In Europe

MDR Aktuell Berlin 14d9d Impact 5

German Interior Minister Dobrindt stated that the Federal Ministry of the Interior will appeal a ruling regarding border controls between Luxembourg and Saarland. The ruling deemed June 2025 border controls illegal. Dobrindt described the ruling as an individual case decision that does not affect the general legality of controls at German external borders. He noted that the European Court of Justice is responsible for judging European law. Luxembourg Interior Minister Leon Gloden welcomed the ruling. A German court has challenged the authorities' decision in Berlin to extend border controls. The court ruled that the extension lacked sufficient justification under European Union law. The minister addressed concerns that border measures might be seen as contrary to EU regulations. The CSU politician noted that rejections at the border are still occurring.
