The EU’s borderless zone expanded to nine new member countries - Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, which all joined the EU back in May 2004 - at midnight on Friday (21 December) in its biggest enlargement so far. Land and sea border checks between them and the other Schengen countries are now abolished, while air borders are set to follow on 30 March 2008.
JEF-Europe organises a pan-European action today in more than 50 cities across Europe demaning our flag back to remind the European leaders, who are due to sign the Lisbon/Reform Treaty today in Brussels, of the missing EU symbols in the new treaty.
