Attacks in Paris: reintroduction of border controls

France (November 17, 2015) Following the attacks in Paris last Friday evening, which killed at least 129 people, border police and Customs are now checking all vehicles crossing the Belgian border. Traffic is restricted to one lane only. Systematic controls are being conducted on the four highways linking France to Belgium: A22 at Rekkem, A27 at Baisieux, A2 at Thivencelles and A16 at Bray-Dunes. The Ministry of Home Affairs has announced an extraordinary meeting of the EU Council on Friday 20 November 2015 in order to discuss, among other things, the “reinforcement of controls at external borders”.
