Thank you, Matthias!
This is very much appreciated. I will transfer it also to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Public_Policy_Consultations for the archive.

Greetings all.
Perhaps a bit late to the party, Wikimedia Denmark sent a letter (link https://dk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dokumenter/Brev_af_17._marts_2018_til_Kulturministeren_ang._EU-kommissionens_foresl%C3%A5ede_direktiv_om_ophavsret) to the Danish Minister for Culture (the government official responsible for the area of copyright) yesterday, explaining why article 11 & 13 of the proposed copyright directive are problematic. There's no English translation, but it's pretty much just a rephrasing of the arguments in the template provided in the january monitoring report with a bit of local issues/context thrown in as well. Hopefully they will at least be persuaded to go from "inclined" to "skeptical".
All the best Matthias Smed Larsen WMDK Vice Chairman
