It was in a joint press release that the two French and German interior ministers, Christophe Castaner and Horst Seehofer, confirmed that the border restrictions would last until June 15, "to contain the circulation of the Covid-19" .
With the aim of facilitating the passage of frontier workers, authorized to cross the border, the two ministers announced that "the permanent static checks carried out so far by French and German law enforcement authorities will gradually give way to dynamic checks and targeted, to ensure traffic flow without weakening the restrictions that will remain in force. ”
A Franco-German certificate must be issued
Crossing the border will now be allowed for separated spouses to find themselves, as well as for parents for "the exercise of the right of custody, access or accommodation of a child or the pursuit of schooling". Other cases: "visiting a parent in a nursing home or a child in a specialized institution". These exemptions, already implemented on the German side will now be applied on the French side. In addition, a single “simplified” Franco-German certificate must soon be made available.
For the president (DVD) of the Haut-Rhin departmental council, Brigitte Klinkert, "we have to go faster". “There is a strong interdependence between Alsace and Baden-Württemberg, we must help the recovery. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to get back to normal, "she added. Border traffic was restricted on March 13.
