Any inconsistencies are reported to the competent authorities by means of a clearing house. |

Comment on EIL Y1 reference year 2022: Our first data transmission incorrectly included values for LAND border as we included cases concerning the Austrian national border.

The reasons for why the Austrian data do not fit into this rule are:
