What did Danish voters decide in the 1992 referendum on the Maastricht Treaty, and what followed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. they said no, and opt-outs followed, including on the euro
- Step 1: The narrow no in 1992 caused a crisis in the Community. Step 2. At Edinburgh in the same year Denmark received opt-outs, and a second referendum in 1993 approved the treaty. Answer: no, followed by opt-outs. Why not the others: Denmark did not leave, and it did not adopt the euro.
