“Brussels is to propose the creation of a standing European border force that could take control of the bloc’s external frontiers — even if a government objected.

European leaders have discussed a common border force for more than 15 years, but always struggled to overcome deep-seated objections to yielding national powers to monitor or enforce borders.”
