"My position - the minister added - is very clear: I stand with the Tyroleans who suffer enormously from the transit (of transalpine heavy vehicles, ed.). The protection of health and quality of life is at stake." According to Gewessler, the restrictions on trucks in Tyrol exist "not out of a whim, but because the situation has become unbearable."
