Reports have emerged of truckers being waved across the Czech/German border as the queues caused by Germany’s covid test requirements continue to disrupt supply chains.
Prof. Dr. Dirk Engelhardt, spokesperson for Germany’s Federal Association of Freight Transport, Logistics and Waste Management, told BILD yesterday that he had heard reports of lorries being waved through:
I heard from one business owner that the backlog at the Czech border crossings was so great that the drivers were simply waved through.
The EU Commission also see the measures as a further restriction on the free movement of goods in the Schengen area. On Monday, letters of complaint were sent to Germany, as well as other countries with strict border restrictions, including Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Hungary.
