The Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community stated: “The complete package of stationary and mobile border policing measures, including the possibility to refuse entry at the border, will be applied at all of Germany’s land borders as allowed by EU and national law.”
The temporary border controls have been implemented to “limit irregular migration further and to protect Germany’s internal security”.
