The European Union has created a rapid reaction force of 1,500 to respond to border crises that arise when the flow of refugees overwhelms local forces. The new force is an attempt to preserve the Schengen Agreement which allows freedom of movement among the 28 nations in the agreement.

Some members, however, fear that the new force will have the ability to infringe on their sovereignty.
