Denmark Imposes Border Controls

FLENSBURG, GERMANY - MAY 13: Cars and trucks pass the German-Danish border on May 13, 2011 near Flensburg, Germany. Denmark has introduced border controls at its borders to Germany and Sweden in what it says is a necessary step against organized crime. The move has caused an uproar among liberal MPs in the European Parliament, who claim the unilateral action by Denmark goes against the spirit of pan-European cooperation and is only a political stunt meant to placate conservative voters. Denmark is among countries in Europe that signed the Schengen Agreement, which guarantees the free flow of people and goods across borders, though an individual country can suspend it if deemed necessary.
