- bA right to stop all new EU lawsEn ret til at stoppe alle nye EU-love
- cA right to leave the EU without an agreementEn ret til at forlade EU uden en aftale
Why?
With the Edinburgh Agreement, Denmark got four opt-outs (forbehold), so the country could stay outside parts of the cooperation. In 1993 a majority voted yes to the treaty with the opt-outs. The defence opt-out was abolished by a referendum in 2022.
