Denmark rejects multi-speed Europe

by Lisbeth Kirk, Brussels,

Denmark has become the latest country to reject the idea of a core set of member states going ahead at a faster pace than the rest of the EU.

"A multi-speed Europe would go against the whole idea behind enlargement", Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said during a working visit to Dutch colleague Jan Peter Balkenende on Tuesday (20 January).

Speaking in The Knights’ Hall in The Hague, Mr Fogh rejected the idea that Europe should have a two, or more, speed Europe.
