Germany has welcomed a plan by Denmark's newly elected center-left government to reverse a decision to place permanent customs controls at the country's borders.
"This is a decision in favour of liberty for European citizens," German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in Berlin.

The German foreign minister's statement came in response to the announcement earlier in the day by Denmark's new Social Democrat prime minister.
