Passport-free zone set to expand

Brussels - Europe's passport-free travel zone could expand northwards today, despite problems faced by the seven signatories of the Schengen accord in implementing their dream of a "borderless" continent. The Schengen executive committee is expected to agree in The Hague that European Union members Denmark, Finland and Sweden and non-members Norway and Iceland be admitted as observers of the travel treaty from 1 May.
