Denmark closed the main gateway to Sweden to refugees
Sweden requires today by refugees and migrants to have an identification document to allow them to cross train or bus Öresund Bridge, the main gateway for refugees in the country.
In addition to the responsibility borne by the carriers, who may impose heavy fines if you violate this regulation, systematic checks are made upon the measure came into force from midnight to Danish station Kastrup, the Copenhagen Airport, where departing trains crossing the Oresund Bridge to Sweden. They also have set up about 30 checkpoints.
All passengers who want to travel to Sweden by train or bus should have an ID document (passport, identity card, driving license, etc.). This measure applies to ferries that cross the Straits of Oresund, according to the Athens agency.
"I believe that such identity checks are effective. A larger number of immigrants will seek asylum in other countries," assured the minister of Immigration Morgan Johansson at the launch of these controls on 17 December.
Sweden has also been reset from November 12 checks at borders, with particular emphasis on the Öresund bridge and ferry from the ports of Denmark and Germany in the Baltic. However they were only a random sample, and in some parts of the route.
Immigrants will now attempting to board without identification documents will be deported automatically, even those traveling from Sweden to Norway or Finland and who refuse to submit an application for asylum there.
These regulations, combined with the next multiple of the terms on Residence, had a direct effect, as the number of new arrivals has decreased significantly since mid-November.

In 2015 it received more than 160,000 refugees, while this year is expected to receive about 170,000.
However, the Office for Migration issues, which now offers accommodation on a 100 per capita in the country, announced that it had exceeded its powers and asked the government to intervene.
Systematic identification documents checks are expected to have a large impact on transport between Sweden and Denmark, especially in the 8,600 people who make daily service between Copenhagen and Malmö, the third largest city of Sweden.
The trains will be operating on the route will be fewer and down and delayed 10 to 50 minutes compared to the usual timetable.
Besides a fence height of two meters and a length of several hundred meters built in Kastrup station to prevent those expelled to swoop on trains departing for Sweden.
"It's like we built a wall of Berlin," said Michael Rantrop, representative of a users association of the bridge of Oresund, the statement which invoked yesterday the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.
This measure caused great dissatisfaction and Denmark, which last year received only 18,000 applications for asylum and fears that immigrants deported from Sweden will remain in its territory.
