The parking lot at the E40 highway in Jabbeke (Belgium) has been completely renovated. The parking now has permanent scanners that check for hidden refugees in trucks. This parking area is one of the last large place where truck drivers can stop before approaching the ports of Dunkerque and Calais. It has always been a problematic place regarding refugees, trying to enter the lorries.
Intensive negotiations came to an end two weeks ago when the European Parliament, the Council of Ministers and the European Commission reached a provisional agreement on the reform of the emissions trading system, which was approved by the Member States.
