Systematic controls at the border to Switzerland, had not, says the German Federal police. A spokesman for the Federal police Directorate in Stuttgart, Germany grants on request, but an “intensified the internal border searches” at the border to Switzerland.
In the everyday life of the German border control authorities means nothing more than increased, whenever possible, complete control of cheap long-distance transport buses from Switzerland to Germany. Since a few weeks, German civil servants have to wait increasingly behind the Swiss border and search for illegal Entry and also to the drugs. The research result of this paper.
Systematic border controls are not allowed with the EU Schengen agreement. The same applies to the associated Schengen member Switzerland. Thus, not “to be controlled in accordance with the official statements also long-distance transport buses systematically”. Rather, you have to do it with a veil of intelligence, as the spokesman of the Federal police Directorate declared in Stuttgart. He confirmed: “At the German-French and the German-Swiss border Within systematic checks are currently not allowed.” The Federal police Directorate in Stuttgart, whose jurisdiction extends geographically over the state of Baden-Württemberg, lead in particular, non-systematic, situation-adapted, random checks in the framework of the internal border alert (“veil search”) imGrenzraum to France and to Switzerland.
“more pollution in the border Canton”
more specifically, Flixbus sounds in the companies concerned. “We are in fact that long distance buses are checked more often than other means of transport,” says Martin Mangiapia, press Secretary of Flixbus. At Flixbus “very low number of complaints cases” standing in no relation to the number of controls, he says. And he criticized, apparently, was to stop it easier to control 50 bus passengers as 20 cars, to check the same number of people. A Plus security can’t account for the Flixbus-man: “The bad boys make use of the means of transport in which they are likely to be the most controlled: so car or train,” he says.
checks somewhere along a highway, the company is annoy Flixbus, obviously. In the sense of the passengers, police should place controls at the stops, calls for Mangiapia. “Finally, no one would have the idea, trains of the SBB on the open road make a stop to control the passengers and delay the journey.”
The recently intensified inspection regime remained responsible at the Canton level, not hidden. The Schaffhausen – based financial and safety Director Cornelia root Hurter (SVP) says: “Schaffhausen border the Canton recorded a noticeable burden on the police by long-distance Bus travelers.” The current view in the police ledgers show regular Renditions of illegal asylum-seekers from long distance coaches, but also of money and drug couriers by officials of the border guard to the police.
long-distance buses also in the focus of Switzerland
There are, obviously, not only the Germans, who take long-distance buses to the visor. Michael Steiner, spokesman for the customs administration (FCA), says about the control the density of he do “from tactical reasons” no details of how the control of the German Federal police behaviour on the other side of the border. However, Steiner also says: “Of irregular Migration on the long-distance buses to almost the whole of Switzerland is affected.” The focus of the border guard those border cantons, which would lie on the major migratory routes are especially. These routes are currently on the axis from South to North. The customs administration through A take their checks directly at the time of entry and exit in and from Switzerland as well as in the domestic.
Recently, the Federal Council even said to a question in the national Council, there is a Problem with irregular Migration in the cross-border transport of the companies Flixbus-group. But to smugglers, according to official Figures of the checks carried out in long-distance buses, or to persons who have been arrested because of illegal Migration, it.
