“…Denmark's defence opt-out has never been interpreted as to mean civilian operations (including those involving police forces) come within the scope of the defence opt-out, 66 for they lack anything that could be considered as having defence implications. Similarly on civilian missions, the Police Mission in Bosnia 61 and Herzegovina (EUPM BiH) launched in 2003 67 was overtaking tasks that were, up to that point, under the direction of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH).…”

When Denmark failed to ratify the Treaty of Maastricht in 1992, the heads of state and government meeting within the European Council concluded the Edinburgh Decision that established a number of opt-outs for Denmark, so it could subsequently ratify the treaty. One of these opt-outs was in regard to EU defence matters. Nearly three decades on, the Union is now seeing concrete steps being made across the treaties to deliver on a true European Defence Union. Given these developments, the Danish defence opt-out is coming under increased scrutiny. This article analyses the law, policy, and practice of the Danish defence opt-out contained in Article 5 of Protocol (No 22) on the position of Denmark annexed to the EU treaties, in light of the litany of initiatives that now make up the contemporary European Defence Union. Notably, these developments underscore and rationalize the basis of the EU’s internal market for deeper European integration. Moreover, with only one Member State possessing such opt-out, it is arguably detrimental to overall EU defence interests. This article contends that the time has come for Denmark to forgo its defence opt-out – a legacy of the past – and participate in the complete range of initiatives contributing to these new endeavours that form the contemporary European Defence Union.

“…The literature suggests that while most of the early operations were fairly successful, largely thanks to the fact that they were usually short-term and limited in both scope and size, they have also revealed shortfalls, bottlenecks as well as broader issues in crisis management. They range from 'growing pains', including the creation of the 'brand' of EU crisis management as well as the planning and drawing up of appropriate mandates for CSDP missions, to more enduring challenges such as coherence among EU policies, institutions and instruments, coordination with other international organizations, notably NATO and the UN, and consistency of 'output' (Naert, 2007).…”

Sage, 2014 (forthcoming) * The abbreviation ECJ for the European Court of Justice is increasingly replaced by CJEU for Court of Justice of the European Union. While CJEU would refer to the 'main' Court in the EU's judicial system (settling legal disputes between EU governments and EU institutions; and under conditions dealing with claims from individuals, companies or organizations), it is also used more generally as to include the other two parts: the General Court (previously called the Court of First Instance, dealing with cases brought forward by private individuals, companies and some organizations, and cases relating to competition law) and the EU Civil Service Tribunal (ruling on disputes between the European Union and its staff).
