    Décembre 2007. Un élargissement de l'espace Schengen sans précédent
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , numero 513, décembre ,  2007 ,  652-659
    In the first week of December, the European Union Council decided on an unprecedented extension of the Schengen space which will grow on December 21, 2007 from 15 to 24 states. On December 5, 2006, the European Union Council had passed conclusions aimed at completing as from December 2007, the removal of checks at inside borders with and between Member countries that adhered to the EU in May 2004. Nine of the respective countries have done everything to fulfil all conditions necessary for applying all of the Schengen provisions for the Council to be in a position to make the decisions relating to the removal of checks at inside borders before the end of 2007. Since the creation of the Schengen space, it is the most significant extension. That free circulation which numbered seven countries when it started out in 1995, will therefore regroup 24 countries at the end of 2007.
