(Reuters) - The European Union is dealing with an increase in legal and illegal arrivals by migrants, prompting some member states to temporarily re-introduce border controls within what is normally a zone of free movement.
The bloc's Schengen rules allow such action "as a last resort" in cases that are deemed serious threats to internal security or public policy.
