The government wants to compensate for ID checks – Sydsvenskan

According to Anna Johansson “Government sees problems” as an identity checks on travelers from Denmark caused.

Commuting has become more difficult. Which can impair the integration of the Sound – and thus hamper economic growth in the region.

Anna Johansson says that the government, in consultation with Malmö and Region Scania, wants to find measures that can reinforce growth.

– The Region and Malmö that will need far more of labor market measures, education, housing, new schools, strengthening of efforts in the social services and so on.

One possibility is that a larger part of the government infrastructure money is directed towards Sweden.

– We shot 1.2 billion rail maintenance in this year’s budget. A large part will end up in urban areas. You can use the money as they strengthen commuting opportunities in this area and tune the infrastructure.

Is that a promise of more money to Skane?

– No. but it is something we should look at.

It sounds to your reasoning for an ID checks will be around for a long time?

– ID checks must be retained as long as necessary based on the purpose to get a long-term reduced pressures of asylum seekers.

The legislation applies three years. According to government regulation must identity checks renewed after six months.

Can we assume that identity controls are retained throughout the spring?

– You can assume that the ID check will remain as long as necessary to achieve its purpose.

How soon can ID checks at Kastrup coordinated with the border control at Hyllie so there will only be a stop for travelers ?

– There is an ongoing work in government offices to see how this can be done smoothly. Interior Minister Anders Ygeman discuss the matter with his Danish colleague.

About Anna Johansson promises are vague regarding the support to Malmö and Skåne Region, she is a bit more concretely on the issue of compensation to the Danish DSB and Skånetrafiken performing ID checks with the help of hired guards.

Lawyers in the Cabinet Office examines whether financial compensation to the transporters are compatible with EU law on state aid.

– We have the ambition to find some kind of compensation to the operators, says Minister Anna Johansson.
