Copenhagen, Denmark - 4 January 2016
1. Various of security border control staff at train station, checking passengers' identity cards (IDs)
2. Set up of Tony Bispeskov Danish State Railways (DSB) Information Manager:
3 . SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Bispeskov, Danish State Railways (DSB) Information Manager:
"Beforehand, you could go directly from Copenhagen to Malmo without changing on the way. Now, you have to change at least once here at Kastrup, go to another platform after you perform this ID check you have shown it, and they have scanned it, and approved the ID, of course, then you can go on the train that runs every 20 minutes towards Sweden."
4. Border control security workers at station
5. Departures board
6. Various of security workers checking and taking photos of IDs
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Tony Bispeskov, Danish State Railways (DSB) Information Manager:
"We estimate this to cost one (m) million Danish krone (145,000 US dollars) per day. Some of the cost is due to the ID control, other costs are due to the loss of income, because we have a decreasing amount of passengers because of this."
8 . Various of security staffers checking IDs
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Richard Johansson, 29, traveller:
"I'm just very concerned about the security, about the information that is being spread here, to be honest, taking photos with their cell phones, who knows where that information goes, especially with our passports."
10. Travellers getting their IDs checked
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Andreas Schanteller, traveller:
"It is somehow strange, but on the other side, I think, it is important to control all the stuff that no immigrants can travel illegally, so for me, it's fine, I don't care that much about it."
12. Set up shots of Mats Genberg, founder of the "Oresund Revolution", a Facebook page against the border control, looking at page on phone
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Mats Genberg, Founder of the "Oresund Revolution" (Facebook page against the border control):
"Because this is one region that just happens to have a natural border between them. So, with the whole region works as one, whether you are in Denmark or Sweden, it doesn't matter to the people here. But the people in our capital, in Stockholm, they don't realise that. They think that the Swedish people are going abroad when they visit Denmark, but they go to their job, they go to visit their family, their girlfriend, boyfriend, they go to a bar. It's one city, and that is not understood."
14 . Various of train arriving at platform
Brussels, Belgium - 4 January 2016

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Guntram Wolfe, Director of Bruegel Research Institute:
“The real danger here is of course that if we don’t manage to really have a proper control of the outside borders and we don’t manage to also pool some intelligence internally, you know then at a some stage the pressure to increase border controls will grow because people are afraid of uncontrolled immigration. People are afraid of terrorism and so on. So, I think this trend will be there clearly this year.”

18. SOUNDBITE (English) Guntram Wolfe, Director of Bruegel Research Institute:
“I don’t think this is a sustainable solution to just control the bridge from Denmark. I mean eventually we will have to come to a European solution because it is of course costly to really start controlling everybody, start controlling every truck and so on. So, you have to come to a European solution where the external borders get properly controlled.”
