瑞典爲阻止移民涌入而實施邊境控制

Travelers passing from Denmark into Sweden will have to show photo identification starting Monday.

The move by Sweden is an attempt to stop the flow of undocumented migrants into the country known for its generous welfare system. The new measure means Sweden is closing its open-door migrant policy after receiving 160,000 migrants last year. Neighboring Denmark only took in 18,000.

Travelers have been warned to expect long lines on the Danish side of the Oresund Bridge, a major entry point for migrants seeking a new life in Sweden.

The re-introduction of the border controls between Sweden and Denmark means that travelers between the two Nordic countries will have to show their passports for the first time in more than 50 years.從星期一開始，從丹麥進入瑞典的旅遊者將必須出示帶照片的身份證件。

瑞典採取這一措施是爲了阻止沒有身份證明文件的移民涌入境內。瑞典以其慷慨的福利制度著稱。這項新措施意味着瑞典將停止實施向移民敞開大門的政策。瑞典去年接收了16萬移民，鄰國丹麥只接收了一萬八千人。

有關當局對旅行者發出警告說，在厄勒海峽大橋的丹麥一端要排長隊等候。厄勒海峽大橋是試圖前往瑞典尋求新生活的移民們的主要入境點。

在瑞典和丹麥之間重新實行邊境控制措施，意味着在這兩個北歐國家間旅行的人50多年來將首次被要求出示護照。
