Entrepreneurs from Szczecin are fearful of jammers like in Swiecko. Federal authorities of Germany are announcing, that controls on all German borders – that those with Poland will last longer than until March 2025 year.
This decision does not surprise, because in the last months no breakthrough related to the situation geopolitical. The stance of entrepreneurs remains however unchanged: controls are troublesome, and their intensification would be perceptible in the last days of year 2024 and first days of year 2025.
Lubieszyn will be like Swiecko? This scenario is feared by entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs associated in the Northern Economic Chamber confess, that the decision to continue the stationary controls at Polish-German borders not only in I quarter of year 2025, is not surprising. It is however surprising looking at how successful to date the border relations have been in the context of building an international metropolitan area. The close economic relations were benefited both residents of Western Pomerania, as and residents of German border towns.
– We have information from our entrepreneurs, especially from the transport sector, that unfortunately the inspections are more and are more intensive. Traffic at border crossings in the last day was complex also because of the road events that have occurred. If we combine this with controls then unfortunately we have a problem, impatient drivers and increasing more financial losses – confesses
the president of the Northern Chamber of Commerce in Szecin Hanna Mojsiuk.

“Our region would be an ideal base for transportation companies cooperating with Germany”
For sector TSL inspections at the border mean long stays and verification, which takes time. Can we already talk about the
West transport crisis because of controls? In the opinion of entrepreneurs this is too bold thesis, but at the same time

border in Poland.
