On August 1, local time, Italy began implementing temporary border checks on travelers entering Spain at airports and ports. The measures are scheduled to last for one month. On the same day, Rome's Fiumicino Airport carried out spot checks on the first flight passengers from Madrid and Barcelona, and Milan Malpensa Airport and Linate Airport have also begun related checks. This inspection uses selective spot checks, mainly for non-EU citizens entering Italy via Spain. The Italian side said that the travel regulations for citizens of Spain and other EU member states to Italy have not changed, and travel from Italy to Spain has not been affected. Recently, a large-scale illegal immigration incident occurred in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa, which attracted the attention of many European countries. The Italian government then decided to temporarily resume border inspections on air and sea passenger routes with Spain. The Italian Ministry of the Interior said that the decision was made after the relevant departments assessed the latest immigration and border security situation, and that the relevant measures are aimed at maintaining national security.
