“It is important to say that even though we want sharper controls as an assurance against crime and human smuggling, it is also important that it occurs within the framework of our shared playing rules, in other words within Schengen,” Jensen said.
Jensen said that the new Venstre government would not pursue permanent physical barriers at the German border but rather “something that is within the Schengen rules”.
"We will suggest something that is within the Schengen rules and there will be a dialogue with Brussels and the EU Commission, but also with our neighbouring countries," Jensen said.
