Brenner quake: Italy threatens Austria with legal action “in the next few days’. Italy's Transport Minister Matteo Salvini is now trying to exert his power again.

The important north-south route across the Alpine Alps is economically important for Italy, just as it is for Germany. Bavaria wants to introduce a slot system for truck traffic across Brenner.
