Denmark: Vote on Euro Planned
Danes will get a new chance to adopt the euro in a referendum, the prime minister said. Denmark opted out of the European Union’s common currency in the early 1990s, when it also declined to forge closer cooperation with the European Union on defense policy and law enforcement. Voters rejected the euro again in a 2000 referendum. But Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a staunch supporter of the European Union, said that voters should reconsider those decisions and that votes on those questions would be held within the next four years. Recent opinion polls have shown that a narrow majority of Danes now favor switching to the euro from the krone.
