A referendum on joining the Euro was held in Denmark on 28 September 2000.^[1] It was rejected by 53.2% of voters with a turnout of 87.6%.^[2]

Background

On 2 June 1992, Danish voters rejected the Maastricht Treaty in a referendum. On 18 May 1993, Denmark ratified the treaty in accordance with the Edinburgh Agreement. This meant that, among three other areas, Denmark would not be part of the European Monetary Union. In March 2000, the Danish government led by Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, a supporter of the common currency, decided to hold a referendum on Danish entry into the monetary union.^[2]
