In an internal combustion engine which includes in the intake section a compressor with an impeller that is mounted rotatably in a compressor intake passage, the compressor includes an additional passage which opens out into the compressor intake passage and through which a mass flow of exhaust gas can be transferred from the exhaust section into the intake section via an exhaust-gas recirculation device, the exhaust gas recirculation line of the exhaust-gas recirculation system of the engine being connected to the additional passage extending directly to the compressor.
