Appearing before the European Parliament for the first and last time in this Danish presidency, the acting Foreign Minister, Uffe Ellemann-Jensen, said 'Denmark can deliver' on its ambitious programme for the next six months.
Leo Tindemans, head of the conservative European People's Party, said the fall of Poul Schluter's government two weeks into Denmark's presidency was 'the most inauspicious start to a presidency I have ever witnessed'.
