The Netherlands in talks on stepping up border controls after Berlin attack

The Dutch government is in talks with Belgium, Germany and France about stepping up checks on passengers on international buses, trains and boats, the Volkskrant said on Wednesday. One idea under consideration is to require all passengers to show some form of ID when buying a ticket, the paper said, quoting a justice ministry spokesman. Berlin attack Anis Amri, the man who drove a lorry into a Christmas market in Berlin, was able to escape to Italy using trains and buses. If Belgium’s proposal goes ahead, it will make formal check-in desks essential at bus and train stations, she said.
