On the 7th, the Spanish government requested Italy to cancel the border inspection measures imposed on travelers from Spain by the 9th; otherwise, Spain will take “corresponding measures.” The Spanish government issued a statement on the same day saying that the Italian government unilaterally resumed border checks on travelers from Spain on August 1 without prior notice. The relevant measures were “unfair, discriminatory, and not in the interests of the European Union” and were contrary to the “Schengen Border Law”. The Spanish government demands that Italy immediately cancel the relevant measures.
