The Spanish **Ministry of the Interior** has extended border controls at ports and airports for travellers arriving from **Italy** until 22 September 2026. Published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado on Saturday, the order continues the suspension of Schengen rules. This follows Italy's decision to extend its own suspension of the free movement agreement with Spain for two weeks, citing national security concerns linked to the migration crisis in Ceuta. Madrid had previously requested that Rome lift these restrictions. Spanish officials stated that threats to public order and internal security persist, necessitating the extension from 8 September. The measures remain under permanent evaluation and will be terminated if security risks subside or less restrictive options arise. ## Related news #OliveOil [#Spain]() #Agriculture #MarketStability #Farming 6 November 2026 at 12:06 ## [Spain mandates olive oil storage to boost prices]() > The Spanish government orders oil mills to store 12% of production to stabilise the market following a significant drop in origin prices.
