(ANSA) - BOLZANO - Austria's Defence Minister Hans Peter
Doskozil has proposed a ''border management'' for the Brenner
pass, like the one which has been already put in place at the
border with Slovenia in Spielfeld. ''Currently the Brenner
records between 200 and 300 refugee arrivals per day,'' a
spokesman for the ministry told the local daily Die Presse. If
these numbers continue to increase, ''it will be necessary to
manage these arrivals in an orderly way'', just like it happens
in Spielfeld. Experts - the minister added - will have to
assess, according to the topographical situation, the possible
need for a barrier at the border between Italy and Austria. Any
measure - he stated - will be agreed with Italy. According to
Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner, interviewed by the Apa
news agency, said that building barriers at crossings along the
southern border of Austria is deemed to be ''possible''. (ANSA).
