| | Initial discoveries of oil in the Faroese area give hope for eventual oil production, which may lay the basis for a more diversified economy and thus less dependence on Denmark and Danish economic assistance. | | | The government and the pro-EU opposition have agreed, and Denmark has received an EU green light, to maintain the four opt-outs throughout the process of approving and ratifying a new EU constitutional treaty, with the ambition to eliminate all opt-outs in the longer term. | | | 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. |

| | Vested with high Social Democratic prestige the economy of the natural gas project was an ever important factor when the position of the Social Democrats towards issues of energy taxation were to be determined (interview with official in the Danish Ministry of Taxation). | | | The now former Social Liberal Minister of Energy had left his government office with detailed plans for a broad CO2-tax in his suitcase. | | | But decisive for the eventual support of the Centre Democrats became the inclusion of a voluntary agreement scheme in the final design. |

| | But it also seems that the Social Democrats are very reluctant to win the election; there is high unemployment, and the economy is not moving forward etc., so they do not want to come to power on the basis of promises they cannot fulfil without going forward on a socialist programme. | | | One of the major themes in the election was the question of immigration. | | | One cannot marry someone from outside Denmark until one is 24 and receives a wage that can support two people etc. These measures have been criticised many times from a human rights-point of view, saying they are against the Charter of Human Rights on the question of discrimination for example. |
