A Denmark deal could pave the way for a successful second Danish referendum next May.

The result of the Danish referendum means that the Maastricht Treaty cannot be ratified.

The crunch third, and last, reading will not be until after the second Danish referendum next May.

Since the Danish referendum, Irish voters have endorsed the treaty.

There has been some speculation that the result of a Danish referendum would affect the Swedish debate on the euro.

But on June 2, a Danish referendum rejected the treaty.

After the Danish referendum I am tempted to ask: What new Europe?

The first sign of this backlash came in the Danish referendum last year.

Alas, as happened after the Danish referendum, the Union is loftily ignoring the message sent out by the people of Europe.

Shaken by the Danish referendum result they declared their "determination to press ahead with European construction".
