Governments would have to hire more staff to police the borders, costing them about 1.1 billion
euros more in administration costs.
If the border controls remain in place long term, the costs will mount. A report prepared for the
French government last month estimated that the return of border checks and passport controls
could cost Europe as much as 100 billion euros ($110 billion) over a decade, knocking 0.8% of
Europe's GDP by 2025 in the worst case.
The Schengen area includes four countries outside the European Union -- Iceland, Lichtenstein,
Norway and Switzerland. Six EU countries are not part of the zone -- they have either opted out of
the agreement, or are still waiting to be admitted.
