Denmark won’t follow Britain’s EU direction, minister says

Britain and Denmark, the EU countries with perhaps the most eurosceptic populations, are both celebrating 40 years as EU members in 2013. But while Britain is debating whether to leave the EU, Denmark's European affairs minister says his country has no intention of going in the same direction.

Nicolai Wammen, Minister for European Affairs, said that Denmark wants to be as close to the core of the EU as possible because he believes this serves Danish interest best.
