Their legal representative has also complained that the Swedish law changes which made the ID checks possible were done in haste. The temporary identification checks were brought in after a record 163,000 asylum requests were filed in Sweden in 2015. The chamber hopes that their request for damages could lead to a better solution and everyday life for commuters, and insists that a functioning labour market in the Öresund region is at stake.
