Danish PM calls Sept 15 parliamentary election

COPENHAGEN - Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen called on Friday parliamentary elections for Sept. 15, paving the way for a campaign expected to focus on efforts to revive the laggard Danish economy.
A general election was due to be held by mid-November, but Rasmussen exercised his right to set an earlier date at just three weeks' notice.
Rasmussen has been prime minister since April 2009 at the head of a centre-right minority coalition government.
