France’s prime minister on Wednesday said there was an “urgent” need to tighten controls on the European Union’s borders after bombings in Brussels that left around 30 dead and were claimed by the Islamic State group.

“There is an urgent need to strengthen the external borders of the European Union,” Manuel Valls told French radio, adding that heightened vigilance was required to stop people crossing into Europe with false passports, as IS has “stolen a large number of passports in Syria.”
