Due to the current refugee situation and the last-minute reintroductions of border checks there have been long waiting times at the borders. This also resulted in increased inquiries on how transport companies respectively their drivers should behave if refugees should try to gain access to the trucks as stowaways.
In addition the Committee on International Road Transport Companies Austria (AISÖ) has asked the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs (BMI) to brief them.
The BMI presently has not verified information if refugees are illegally trying to gain access to trucks as there are other transport options at the moment.
