This policy may benefit the average, but not the individual countries. Denmark is not the only country to remain outside Euroland. Sweden and the UK have made the same decision. By sticking to this decision, we are giving EU applicant countries from Central and Eastern Europe a better chance to join the EU on equal terms without having to renounce control over their own economies. Together with Denmark, Sweden and the UK, they will be better placed in relation to Euroland.
Cooperation is desirable, but total unification is going too far.
Responsibility for a country's fundamental functions should not be ceded to a supra-national institution, but left to the country itself, in a democratic system where decisions are taken as near to the citizens as possible. The movement includes members from most of the Danish political parties. The general position is that Denmark's policies should be debated in a democratic fashion by the country's citizens and decided by the Danish Folketing. JuniBev gelsen Skindergade 29, 1.
