Customs Officers: Illegal Goods

Free Travel Dept: The previous centre-right government, which lost an election on Sept. 15, had agreed with an anti-immigration party to put more customs officers at the borders and build new checkpoint facilities to keep out illegal goods and "brutal crime.", according to Montreal Gazette. The measures angered Germany, prompted a warning from the European Commission not to break the Schengen Treaty rules on free movement in Europe's 25-nation passport-free area, and stirred debate in Europe about the future of free travel and denmark's new centre-left government will roll back plans to build new customs control facilities at the country's borders that had angered neighbouring Germany, officials said. The customs reinforcements, which the government insisted had nothing to do with interrupting passport-free travel and did not contravene the Schengen accord, took up their jobs at the frontiers in early July.
