Spain to impose temporary border checks on Italy travellers in tit-for-tat move

Spain announced temporary border checks on travellers from Italy, starting at midnight Saturday and lasting until 7 September, in retaliation for Rome imposing similar measures after the mass migration rush into Ceuta. Spain's interior ministry cited the "persistent irregular migration pressure" facing Italy as context for the move. The reciprocal checks mark an escalation of border tensions within the EU triggered by the Ceuta crisis.
