epa02810203 Members of the media wait for the Danish custom officers to start their work at the Danish-German border in Padborg, Denmark, 05 July 2011. Danish customs officials on 05 July were to start implementing stricter border controls in a bid to fight international crime despite concerns from Brussels that they contravene the rules of the European Union. At the crossing from Germany, Denmark?s only land border, 30 additional officers were scheduled to begin random searches. For the crossing across the narrow strait from Sweden, an extra 20 officials were to be deployed. The European Commission and the German government have criticized the plan, which they have called a potential violation of the right to free movement across internal EU borders.
