Agreement Regarding Danish Defence 2005-2009
Danish Ministry of Defence Copenhagen, 10 June 2004 4 Appendices The Liberals, the Conservatives, the Social Democrats, the Danish People's Party, the Social Liberals and the Christian Democrats have entered into the following agreement regarding Danish Defence from 2005 - 2009. Introduction 1. Danish Defence is an important factor in an active Danish foreign and security policy aimed at a peaceful development in the world with promotion of democracy, freedom and human rights. The goals of Danish Defence are the following:) to counter direct and indirect threats to the security of Denmark and allied countries, 2) to maintain Danish sovereignty and the protection of Danish citizens, and 3) to work towards international peace and security in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter, especially through conflict prevention, peacekeeping, peacemaking and humanitarian operations. The development within security policy requires Danish Defence to strengthen its capacities in two central areas: 1) internationally deployable military capacities and 2) the ability to counter acts of terror and their consequences. The United Nations is the main framework for the development of international rule of law. In recent years the UN has developed a more effective ability to decide and engage in peace support operations and this development should be supported. At the same time, the ability of the UN and regional organisations to prevent and resolve conflicts, for example in Africa, should be strengthened. The political parties behind the Defence Agreement agree to maintain NATO as the central forum for joint and binding cooperation within security and defence policy. The collective defence remains strongly anchored within NATO, which also in the future will be the framework of the transatlantic partnership, thus countering new threats and guaranteeing European security.

ANNUAL REPORT 2003 REPORT ANNUAL 1 INTRODUCTION In 2003-2004 Politiets Efterretningstjeneste (abbreviated to PET or referred to as the Service) has continued its process of transition that was commenced after the terrorist acts in the United States on 11 September 2001. At the time of writing, Denmark has not yet been affected by terrorist acts. The Madrid bombings in March 2004 proved, however, that in spite of a high level of security, the European countries are also vulnerable to international terror- ism. On the other hand, the unravelling of a number of terrorist cells confi rms that Europe is not only an attractive support and recruitment place for Islamic terrorist networks but also that cells based in Europe are planning to carry out terrorist acts within European borders. These conditions have emphasised that the generally increased terrorist threat which has existed in the Western world since 11 September 2001 in fact also includes Western Europe. Furthermore, one of the general security issues is the risk of confl ict escalation which can be connected to extreme single-acts. This was expressed in connec- tion with the murder of the Dutch fi lm director van Gogh and the subsequent reactions to this act including that a number of mosques were exposed to attempts at arson. In this respect it is important to notice that a development seems to be traceable in Western societies, where radical Islamists as well as people of the extreme right-wing are deliberately contemplating facilitating acts and threats that are appropriate for encouraging a confrontation between cultures and religions.

Denmark: the Danish Defence Agreement 2005-2009
June 2004 Preliminary translation The Danish Defence Agreement 2005 - 2009 1 The Liberals, the Conservatives, the Social Democrats, the Danish People Party, the Social Liberals and the Christian Democrats have entered into the following agreement for the Danish Defence. Introduction 1. The Danish Defence is an important factor in working towards the realisation of the foremost goals of the Danish foreign- and security policy, namely democracy, freedom and human rights. The goals of the Danish Defence are the following: 1) to counter direct and indirect threats to the security of Denmark and allied countries, 2) to maintain Danish sovereignty and the protection of Danish citizens, 3) to work towards international peace and security in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter, specifically through conflict prevention, peacekeeping, peacemaking, and humanitarian operations. Changes in the international security environment require the Danish Defence to strengthen its capacities in two central areas: 1) Internationally deployable military capacities and 2) the ability to counter terror acts and their consequences. The United Nations is the framework of the efforts to create international order. In recent years the UN has developed a more effective capacity to engage in peace supporting operations and this development should be supported. At the same time the ability of the UN, as well as the ability of regional organisations, to prevent and resolve conflicts, among other places in Africa, should be strengthened. The political parties behind the Defence Agreement agree that NATO is the central forum for joint security – and defence cooperation. The collective defence remains strongly anchored within NATO. NATO is the framework of the transatlantic partnership and a guarantor of European security.

03-12-2004-Danish Armed Forces
Foreword The overall goal for the Danish Armed Forces c ontinues to b e the preservation of Denmark as a sovereign nation. Defence policy of t oday i s, however, not only a q ue- stion of d efending national territor ies. Modern defence policy has to r eflect a num- ber of d ifferent c onsiderations. International engagement is central to a s uccessful handling of t he security pro- blems and challenges o f the future. Danish security and defence policy is therefore very much characterised and influenced by d evelopments on t he international scene – and Denmark is extensively engaged in both international military crisis manage- ment operations and civil emergency missions all over the world. Today, t he fight against terrorism is one of t he main challenges for the Danish Armed Forces. With the Danish Defence Agreement agreed in 2004 c overing the years 2005-2009, Denmark is doubling its ambition with regards to t he number of D anish troops that can be c ontinuously deployed. The ambition is by 2 009 to b e able to m aintain deployed approximately 2 ,000 t roops or f or s horter periods be a ble to d eploy lar- ger force levels. When this number is compared to t he size of t he Danish popula- tion (5.3 million), Denmark is among one of t he leading countries in the world when it comes t o participation in international operations. Another important aspect of the Defence Agreement is, that a broad majority of t he Danish Parliament is behind the agreement.
