European Union Schengen Area

The European Union Schengen Area is a group of European countries that have abolished internal border checks, allowing people to travel freely across member nations as if they were one country. While not all EU countries are part of Schengen, most are, and some non-EU countries also participate. This agreement facilitates easier movement, trade, and tourism within the area, improving integration and cooperation. However, external borders remain controlled for security and immigration purposes. Overall, the Schengen Area promotes seamless travel and strengthens regional unity among participating nations.
