Berlin, September 14 (RHC)-- In a decision that highlights the pressure on European countries by the influx of migrants flooding through its borders, Germany has temporarily reinstated controls at the Austrian border and halted train traffic. The move effectively suspends Germany's participation in the European Union’s borderless Schengen system, one of the cornerstones of the European integration project that began in the 1990s.

The decision was announced by German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière after officials claimed that record numbers of refugees, mostly from Syria, had stretched the system to a breaking point.
