[German Interior Minister Announces Border Control Extension for Another Six Months] ⑴ German Interior Minister Dobrinth announced on the 16th that the German government will extend the temporary border control measures, originally scheduled to expire on March 15, 2026, for another six months. He revealed that border control is part of a readjustment of Germany's immigration policy. ⑵ The relevant notification is currently being submitted to the European Commission. According to current EU regulations, the Schengen Area does not have systematic border checks in principle; therefore, member states must follow formal notification procedures when reinstating or extending border controls.
