Eu presses denmark over new border control

The Commission, which monitors compliance with EU treaties, suspects that Denmark's move violates the Schengen Agreement on open borders.

Denmark must "demonstrate factually that the gravity of the situation justifies putting in place controls" on its borders, the Commission said.

Fifty extra customs officers are now at entry points from Germany and Sweden.

The Danish government said the deployment on 5 July would help fight organised crime and people trafficking.
