西班牙政府自8月8日零时起对来自意大利旅客实施临时边检措施[1]。此举是对意大利此前单方面恢复对西班牙旅客边检的回应[1]。意大利总理梅洛尼于7月31日晚宣布暂停与西班牙的申根自由通行机制，随后意大利政府在8月1日单方面恢复针对来自西班牙旅客的边境检查[1]。意方决定不撤销针对经西班牙入境第三国公民暂停适用申根协定的决定[1]。
两国间的边检措施源于摩洛哥非法移民进入西班牙北非飞地休达引发的边境危机[1]。西班牙的临时边检措施将持续至9月7日，除非引发该措施的情况发生变化[1]。目前已有约7万名非法入境休达的移民返回摩洛哥[1]。
Spain initiated temporary border inspection measures on travelers arriving from Italy effective from midnight on August 8 [1]. The move was implemented in response to Italy's unilateral decision to resume border checks on Spanish travelers [1]. These measures are expected to remain in effect until September 7, unless circumstances change [1].
The escalation stems from a diplomatic dispute between the two nations over their handling of a migration crisis in Ceuta, Spain's North African enclave, triggered by an influx of illegal migrants from Morocco [1]. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced on July 31 that Italy was suspending the Schengen free movement agreement with Spain [1]. The Italian government subsequently reinstated border checks on travelers entering from Spain on August 1 and declared it would not withdraw its decision to suspend the Schengen accord for third-country nationals entering through Spanish territory [1].
Approximately 70,000 illegal migrants who entered Ceuta have since returned to Morocco [1].
