"This is now the seventh time that Denmark has held the Presidency of the Council. However, I think that this Presidency will be the most difficult. We do believe, however, that the efficient and constructive Danish administration, which is experienced in managing Europe, will cope with the coordination of anti-crisis measures. However, we are also aware that as was the case with Poland, the fact that Denmark is not a member of the euro area may prove to be a hindrance. An equally important challenge facing the Danish Presidency is the need to agree key elements of the future budgetary framework for 2014-2020. There is no doubt that the negotiations will be very difficult. Our expectation is that Denmark will be able to find a compromise among the Member States which guarantees provision of funding at the appropriate level for every EU policy. I believe that the words being repeated by Danish politicians – a budget for the future – mean focussing the budget on meeting new challenges in particular areas, and not a radical redistribution or cuts. Personally, I am convinced that Denmark will manage to confront the challenges and fulfil the expectations we are placing in her. It should be reiterated that it was in fact during the Danish Presidency in the second half of 2002 that it was possible to complete the difficult accession negotiations with the group of 10 states of the New Europe, including Poland. I hope that today Denmark is capable of achieving similar successes in the area of budget negotiations and the fight against the debt crisis."@en1
