Danish Border Controls Create Tensions at EU Level

It's all about preserving the danish

The Euro and the financial crisis are not the only elements of disagreement within the Council these days. The adamant continued will of the Danish government to control the quality of imported Danish at their borders is also a source of discontent.

Asked to react by our BJ reporters, a senior Danish civil servant wishing to remain anonymous confided that ‘There’s a lot of fake Danish out there and you really don’t want to know what it’s made of. I mean the European Commission itself published the statistics recently: 85% of counterfeit stuff comes from China. Just imagine if we let our nation be overrun by Chinese Danish? Where would that lead us? The cinnamon to become Chinamon?’.

No one at the Council buildings wished to react to this statement. BJ reporters were however told in confidence that President Van Rompuy was pondering the release of a haiku on Twitter to settle this matter once and for all.
