Austria has implemented a series of official measures by Karl Nehammer, which are beginning to have the desired impact, the last-minute official announcements by Gerhard Karner showing that the decisions to collaborate with Tunisia to reduce illegal migration were good ones, the effects being clearly visible in Europe, especially for the Viennese government.
Austria says that Tunisia has made great efforts to reduce illegal migration to Europe, Gerhard Karner talking about the training centers for Tunisian customs officials, which the Austrians have built, where hundreds of agents have already been trained to block transit to the EU, which which will ultimately help Romania's accession to Schengen, perhaps faster.
Austria wants to stop migration right at its origin, i.e. in countries like Tunisia, where many migrants come from every year, Romania's accession to Schengen being blocked by Karl Nehammer precisely because of the large number of people who come uncontrolled to Europe, but his measures have an effect.
"Tunisia has made great efforts to strengthen border protection and prevent landfills. The training center in the border town of Nefta, which was built among others by Austria, also plays a central role. The two countries have an intense partnership on security issues.
This cooperation on equal terms is exemplary for cooperation with neighboring European countries in North Africa. The training center for border guards in Nefta (Tunisia) on the border with Algeria was jointly opened in November 2023. Even as a transit country, Tunisia is affected by illegal migration. Close cooperation is therefore planned in the operational area to combat smuggling."
