PARIS (Reuters) - European ministers and officials agreed on Saturday to reinforce railway security, particularly on international lines, and urged the European Commission to amend Schengen border codes after the foiled attack on a train in northern France.

Just over a week after passengers subdued a gunman on an Amsterdam-Paris express, interior and transport ministers from countries, including France, Germany, Spain and Italy, met in Paris to discuss improving security on cross-border trains.
