".
In the past Denmark has repeatedly demonstrated that it is not always necessary to go along blindly with the EU mainstream. The people of Denmark have spoken out clearly against joining the euro area in two referendums. Copenhagen has shown that economic survival without the euro is possible and that not all critics of the euro area are automatically enemies of Europe. Its opposition to Romania and Bulgaria joining the Schengen area was a sovereign decision on behalf of its own population. The EU could benefit from this approach. However, what do we have to fear? As a non-member of the euro area, Copenhagen will not be able to do much about the euro crisis. Ms Merkel and Mr Sarkozy will continue to go it alone and to push through their own ideas. In addition, many people want to make more progress in the accession negotiations with Turkey. Prime Minister Erdoğan, with his tough-talking, nationalist approach and his anti-Western and anti-Israeli attitude, has demonstrated himself that Turkey does not share common European values."@en1
