Denmark 3 Four parties, one project Six project participants from four regions are involved in ciTTis. These are South Jutland County and Region Schleswig, represented by the hospitals DIAKO and Malteser Krankenhaus St. Franziskus-Hospital in Flensburg, as well as County of Funen, represented by the Danish Centre for Health Telematics and Odense University Hospital and the Technologie-Region K.E.R.N, represented by Klinik für Diagnostische Radiologie am Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein in Kiel. The project has received assistance under the EU’s Interreg Germany IIIA, both for the regional cooperation between County of Funen and the Technologie-Region K.E.R.N. and for the cooperation between South Jutland County and Region Schleswig. The Interreg assistance finances 50 per cent of the project budget. The remaining 50 per cent is funded by the participants. ciTTis timetable Project 2002 2003 2004 2005 1. Project management 2.

Politicians: Effective utilisation of resources, satisfied patients, regional development The general public wants the best possible treatment of diseases and illnesses and at the same wants the lowest possible costs for the health service. It is the task of the politicians to accomplish this complex task, and in this context information technology is a useful tool. In many ways, health service trends are leading to an increased concentration of knowledge and resour- ces. This is a situation that may be difficult to handle in reality, where the patients also regard the proximity of treatment facilities as an important quality in itself. Information technology makes it possible to utilise knowledge and resources regardless of distance. The result is higher quality, better utilisation of resources and more satisfied patients. At the same time, the development work on IT solutions in itself helps support regional business develop- ment – all the participating regions attach great importance to business development in the area of IT. 4 Knowledge Patients BLAZES CROSS trails borders n many situations there an available neurosurgeon surgery at Odense I may be a shortage of through the IT Collabora- University Hospital. expert assistance when a tion Service and is told that G Odense University patient needs treatment. a neurosurgeon at Odense Hospital initially responds The local place of treatment Universitetshospital will be to the referral by asking may, perhaps, lack experts available in 30 minutes.

Mere konkret bestod opgaven i at indsamle viden om skolebørns transport og udarbejde en samlet oversigt over skolebørns transportvaner i Danmark. DTF definerede projektet til at omhandle fire delstudier: • Et studie om børns trafikulykker i Danmark, • en beskrivelse og konsekvensvurdering af danske kommuners indsats for at forbedre skolebørns trafiksikkerhed og ændre deres transportvaner i årene 1995-2000, • et studie af børns transportvaner i Danmark, og • et litteraturstudie om skolebørn og trafik. Studiet om danske kommuners indsats har omfattet en forespørgsel rettet til samtlige 275 kommuner. DTF vil gerne rette en stor tak til de 201 kommuner, der har svaret på denne forespørgsel, og derved muliggjort en beskrivelse og konsekvensvurdering af kommunernes indsats.

    The Danish Design Industry Annual Mapping 2005 Copenhagen Business School May 2005 Please refer to this report as: ʺA Mapping of the Danish Design Industryʺ published by IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at Copenhagen Business School. CBS, May 2005 A Mapping of the Danish Design Industry Copenhagen Business School · May 2005 Preface The present report is part of a series of mappings of Danish creative industries. It has been conducted by staff of the international research network, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics, (www.druid.dk), as part of the activities of IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at the Copenhagen Business School (www.cbs.dk/imagine). In order to assess the future potential as well as problems of the industries, a series of workshops was held in November 2004 with key representatives from the creative industries covered. We wish to thank all those who gave generously of their time when preparing this report. Special thanks go to Nicolai Sebastian Richter‐Friis, Architect, Lundgaard & Tranberg; Lise Vejse Klint, Chairman of the Board, Danish Designers; Steinar Amland, Director, Danish Designers; Jan Chul Hansen, Designer, Samsøe & Samsøe; and Tom Rossau, Director and Designer, Ichinen. Numerous issues were discussed including, among others, market opportunities, new technologies, and significant current barriers to growth. Special emphasis was placed on identifying bottlenecks related to finance and capital markets, education and skill endowments, labour market dynamics, organizational arrangements and inter‐firm interactions. The first version of the report was drafted by Tina Brandt Husman and Mark Lorenzen, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics (DRUID) and Department of Industrial Economics and Strategy, Copenhagen Business School, during the autumn of 2004 and finalized for publication by Julie Vig Albertsen, who has done sterling work as project leader for the entire mapping project.

Begge sider er overbeviste om, at det grænseoverskridende samarbejde leverer betydelige impulser til den økonomiske, sociale og kulturelle udvikling i hele grænseregionen. Rapporten om det grænseoverskridende samarbejde med Region Syddanmark, som den slesvig-holstenske delstatsre-gering forelægger, viser tydeligt, med hvilke store skridt samarbejdet på tværs af landegrænser i de seneste år er gået fremad. De i rapporten beskrevne aktiviteter viser, at det stærke netværk i det dansk-tyske samarbejde, som dækker over mange emner, herved har en central rolle. Endvidere kan der også ses tydeligt, at dette partnerskab i høj grad fyldes med liv gennem et stort antal af lokale grænseoverskridende projekter. Det tysk-danske partnerskab er således et af de bedste eksempler på, hvordan samarbejdet på tværs af landegrænser får Europas medlemsstater til at vokse tættere sammen. Lad os i fællesskab fortsat arbejdere videre på dette. 2 Indholdsfortegnelse Forord............................................................................................................................ .....5 1.

Developments within income and consumption Couples with children earn most When considering families, couples with children had the highest average income after taxes in 2001; their annual average was DKK 327,200. The corresponding figure for couples without children was DKK 271,000. When carrying out such comparisons, it should be noted that couples without children are normally older than couples with children, and that children may contribute to total family in- comes to some extent.

    7 June 2001 GVT/COM/INF/OP/I(2001)005 ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON THE FRAMEWORK CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES ______ COMMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF DENMARK ON THE OPINION OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FRAMEWORK CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES IN DENMARK ______ GVT/COM/INF/OP/I(2001)005 On 22 September 2000, the Advisory Committee set up under the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities submitted an opinion to the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers on Denmark’s implementation of the Framework Convention. In its concluding remarks the Committee starts by pointing out that Denmark has made commendable efforts in respect of the German minority in South Jutland. The Committee considers, however, that the personal scope of application of the Framework Convention in Denmark, limited to the German minority in South Jutland, has not been satisfactorily addressed. The Committee notes in particular that persons belonging to other groups with long historic ties to Denmark such as Faroese persons and Greenlanders seem to have been excluded a priori from protection under the Convention. The same applies to Roma (gypsies) in Denmark and certain other groups. The Committee therefore considers that Denmark should, in consultation with the groups concerned, examine the application of the Convention to these groups. The Committee further notes that while a state church system is not in itself in contradiction with the Framework Convention, Denmark should review the privileged position held by the Danish National Church. Lastly, the Committee considers that persons not belonging to the Danish National Church should not be obliged to have the names of children born to them registered through the Danish National Church.

Since then, a large number of projects have been initiated based on assistance from the EU programme, which is intended to generate development and growth in areas with particular needs for new activities. The effects of this financial shot-in-the-arm are starting to appear throughout the areas in Denmark covered by the Objective 2 Programme. New jobs are being created, existing ones are being kept, the qualifications of managers and employees are being enhanced and the areas are becoming increasingly attractive to settle in or visit. This booklet provides an introduction to the aid offered by the Objective 2 Programme, i.e., the overall framework for Objective 2 projects, the application procedures and more. At the same time, the booklet provides insight into the actual implementation of the Objective 2 Programme with specific examples from the various Danish regions. The efforts up to year end 2002 are appraised, and the booklet includes information on the remaining, available Objective 2 funds.
