I do not know, but i could give the typical political answer.
Or maybe you know someone from the government, which is "doing
things", they need to be done, no?
And then, last week or so the interior minister of Austria claimed
that "law has to follow politics".  Of course it was just one more
of those border moving provocations that happen all over the
western world, and i am not Austrian so how can i dare to mention
it, but nonetheless.

Thus, whether it is legal or not, it will be waved through and
adopted for business needs or "common sense" unless you get some
political rise against it, which likely (in my opinion) will not
happen.
