Statement by Denmark to be entered into the Council minutes concerning the common position on conflict prevention and resolution in Africa

In accordance with Section C of the Decision adopted at the European Council in Edinburgh on 11 and 12 December 1992, Denmark does not participate in the elaboration and the implementation of decisions and actions of the Union which have defence implications.

The Danish Government has decided that Denmark will not participate in future Council decisions based on Article J.4 (2) of the Treaty on European Union as follow-up to the common position on conflict prevention and resolution in Africa.

In accordance with the Edinburgh Decision, Denmark will not prevent the development of closer cooperation between Member States in this area. Accordingly, the position indicated above does not prevent the adoption of the common position on conflict prevention and resolution in Africa.
