Former president of France Nicolas Sarkozy, in an op-ed published in Le Point and Die Welt on the 22 May 2014, recommended putting an end to the border free Schengen agreement.

The conservative politician said a 'Schengen II' should replace the EU's internal open-border system. The new version would be reserved exclusively for member states with like-minded policies on immigration.

Migration policy was one of the main subject of the campaign to the European elections of May 2014 in France.
