What the Danish ‘no’ vote on Justice and Home Affairs means for Denmark and the EU

Danish voters opted to reject a proposal to eliminate Denmark’s current opt-outs in EU Justice and Home Affairs cooperation in a referendum on 3 December. Henrik Larsen writes on what the vote means for Denmark and the rest of the EU. He argues that while the referendum may not precipitate a major change in Danish EU policy, it will provide a boost for Eurosceptic parties who support a UK-style renegotiation of the country’s terms of membership.
