1. Wide of news conference with EU Council President Donald Tusk and Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann
2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Donald Tusk, EU Council President:
"A return to the application of the Schengen code does not imply the end of Schengen, on the contrary a return to the application of the Schengen rules is the only way to preserve Schengen. The question, therefore, should not be whether we want to do it but how we are going to do it. Firstly, to be effective we need to do it in a coordinated way. Indeed, while our work on a common European plan continues key decisions are taken in capitals. In the union of 28 sovereign countries this is a normal situation to my mind. I know that restoring effective controls on the borders is not an easy decision but the truth is that there is no alternative to it. I can only hope that this difficult truth has finally been understood by all in Europe. We must talk about it around the table that seats 28 member states, none of which should be excluded, otherwise the risk will be a further erosion of trust. Secondly, we must face together the humanitarian consequences of our decision. The country which we must support in particular is Greece. The number of migrants arriving in Greece is on the rise not because they want to make Greece their home but because they are hoping that from Greece they will move to other European countries. A test of our Europeanness will be on the one hand going back to Schengen and on the other have a readiness to stand by Athens during these hard times."
3. SOUNDBITE: (German) Werner Faymann, Austrian Chancellor: ++TRANSLATION PROVIDED FROM SOURCE++
"Who is allowed to go into Europe, who needs to be returned and who is going to be relocated in Europe? If there is no such clarity on the external borders then countries need to become active on their own national borders and in order to avoid that a simple solution has been foreseen. The European answer needs to activate the external borders and therefore cooperation on the Balkan route, facilitating networks (means smugglers) along that Balkan route, must be stopped and that's an important part of our policy."

STORYLINE:
EU Council President Donald Tusk said a return to the application of Schengen rules is the only way to preserve border free travel in the European Union.
Tusk was speaking at a joint news conference with Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann as tensions simmered at the Greece-Macedonia border.
Austria, a member of Europe's passport-free Schengen Area, has been strongly criticized by other EU nations for its caps on asylum-seekers.
Austria imposed strict border restrictions last week, creating a domino effect as those controls were also implemented by Balkan countries further south along the Balkans migration route.
