Volgens een wetsvoorstel moeten binnenkomende vluchtelingen waardevolle bezittingen als juwelen en contant geld inleveren bij de grens. Ook asielzoekers die al in het land wonen vallen straks, als het aan de regering ligt, onder de nieuwe regels.

The bill presented on 10 December 2015 provides the Danish authorities with the power to search clothes and luggage of asylum seekers – and other migrants without a permit to stay in Denmark – with a view to finding assets which may cover the expenses mentioned above.
It is explicitly mentioned in the bill before Parliament that the new rule on seizure will only apply to cash above approximately 3,000 DKK [red: 400 Euro] and tangible assets of a considerable value. Thus, foreigners will always be able to keep assets which are necessary to maintain a modest standard of living, e.g. watches and mobile phones. In other words, the general principle of a minimum amount exempt from execution also applies in this context.
Furthermore, assets which have a certain personal, sentimental value to a foreigner will not, as a main rule, be seized. However, they may be seized if, taking into account the degree of personal, sentimental value and, on the other hand, the economic value of the assets, it is deemed inappropriate not to seize the assets. In general, this implies that only personal assets with a value which is considerably higher than 3,000 DKK will be seized. Assets of a personal, sentimental value may include e.g. wedding rings and jewelry.
Hoe diep gaan we in Europa nog zakken, heel diep als het ‘verstandige midden’ hun vertoog en handelen laat bepalen door een haatzaaiende, het geweld niet schuwende extreem-rechtse minderheid.
