In the last year in particular, there has been a massive displacement of people from Northern African countries, and the Schengen system has recently come under pressure, with some Member States considering the reintroduction of national border controls in the face of a sudden influx of migrants. Conditions for the temporary reintroduction of internal border controls in exceptional circumstances where there is a serious threat to public policy or internal security are already set out clearly in the Regulation on the Schengen Borders Code. Nevertheless, current problems with the influx of immigrants should not be a pretext for further exceptions, as this would place the Schengen idea in serious jeopardy. The free movement of people within the Schengen area has been one of the biggest achievements of European integration. Schengen has a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of EU citizens, both by making border crossing convenient and by boosting the economy. Freedom of movement is a fundamental right and a pillar of EU citizenship, so I take the view that the role of the Union, and hence the Commission, should be to plan how to share migration pressures from the Mediterranean between the Member States, and how to cope effectively with the integration of immigrants."@en1
