Z Source: www.exchange-rates.org World Europe Denmark (Notes) Denmark - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT Denmark is a constitutional monarchy. Queen Margrethe II has largely ceremonial functions; probably her most significant formal power lies in her right to appoint the prime minister and cabinet ministers, who are responsible for administration of the government. However, she must consult with parliamentary leaders to determine the public's will, since the cabinet may be dismissed by a vote of no confidence in the Folketing (parliament). Cabinet members are occasionally recruited from outside the Folketing. The 1953 constitution established a unicameral Folketing of not more than 179 members, of whom two are elected from the Faroe Islands and two from Greenland. Elections are held at least every 4 years, but the prime minister can dissolve the Folketing at any time and call for new elections. Folketing members are elected by a complicated system of proportional representation; any party receiving at least 2% of the total national vote receives representation. The result is a multiplicity of parties (seven represented in the Folketing after the February 2005 general election), none of which holds a majority. Electorate participation normally is around80-85%. The judicial branch consists of about 100 local courts, two high courts, several special courts (e.g., arbitration and maritime), and a Supreme Court of 15 judges appointed by the crown on the government's recommendation.

Secondly, local authorities show a rising interest in participating in EU-supported activities through EU programmes and funds, such as regional co-operation and town twinning.

The sources said this would be a u-turn from previous pledges to abolish wind power subsidies. The deal is seen reviving Danish plans to install three offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 450 megawatt. Denmark has guaranteed wind turbine owners a minimum price for wind energy in past years and this has made the country one of the world's leaders in wind power. But a centre-right government, which came to power in November, announced early this year that wind power would not be subsidised after end-2003.

Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Releases International Religious Freedom Europe and Eurasia Denmark International Religious Freedom Report 2003 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice. The Evangelical Lutheran Church is the state church and enjoys some privileges not available to other faiths. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and government policy continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion. The generally amicable relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government in the context of its overall dialog and policy of promoting human rights. Section I. Religious Demography The country has a total area of 16,640 square miles, and its population is approximately 5.4 million. As of January 2002, 84.3 percent of the population belonged to the official Evangelical Lutheran Church. The second largest religious community is Muslim, constituting approximately three percent of the population, followed by the Catholic Church, Jehovah's Witnesses, Baptists, Pentecostals, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), and Jews. The remaining approximately 9 percent of the citizens are without a religion.

for FFII editors Denmark still not happy, Software Patents not on Council Agenda of 17th Denmark not Happy Last Delay Dutch Motion Patent News Copenhagen, 11 February 2005 The Danish Government has once more decided to ask for a delay the adoption of the Software Patent directive. It is not clear until when the government wants to delay, but knowledgable sources say that the new Folketing (Danish Parliament), which has been re-organised after the Danish elections, wants to have another opportunity to look at the matter. Before the elections, the opposition parties had obliged the minority government to demand a delay. This, among other factors, had prevented the Council from adopting its unsupported " political agreement " on Jan 31, as had been planned earlier. A Council diplomat meanwhile confirmed that the agreement is not on the Council agenda of the 17th of February. Yesterday the general assumption still had been that the A-item would be put on the agenda at today's conference of permanent representatives ( CoRePer ), which was to decide next week's agenda. It is still possible for the Council to insert the software patents as an A-item at any time before the meeting, even without a
