Italy has extended by another week its suspension of the European Union's border-free travel arrangements with Spain over a surge in migrant arrivals in Ceuta in late July, an Italian government source said on Friday. A ⁠Spanish government spokesperson said the interior ministers of both countries would work over the coming week on lifting the border controls.
