Greece improving border control, cooperation – EU chair | Reuters
BRUSSELS Greek authorities are stepping up cooperation with EU agencies to better control migrants after threats from some allies to suspend Greece from Europe's Schengen passport-free zone, a senior EU official said. "There are still problems but there are improvements," said Jean Asselborn, the foreign minister of Luxembourg, who holds the rotating chairmanship of ministerial meetings on migration. In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday he rejected any suggestion that he delivered an ultimatum in Athens on Monday on the risk of suspension from Schengen and said he was encouraged that Greece would show progress in controlling its borders when EU interior ministers meet again in Brussels on Friday
