Bridging measures expected to continue until Treaty implementation

The Government says there’s logic in continuing bridging measures at the frontier until treaty provisions come into effect, given that the removal of immigration controls has already been agreed in principle. This comes as El País quotes EU sources suggesting the treaty could be ratified in December, with the physical frontier removed as early as January. The Government notes there’s still no detailed information on how Spain will apply the EU’s new Entry Exit System, which begins rolling out in October.
