THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 46(3) thereof,
Having regard to Protocol No 10 on permanent structured cooperation established by Article 42 of the Treaty on European Union attached to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of European Union,

(2) On 1 June 2022, a referendum was held in Denmark on revoking the exemption from participation in decisions and actions of the Union which have defence implications laid down in Article 5 of Protocol No 22 to the Treaties on the position of Denmark. That referendum resulted in a vote in favour of revocation.
(3) In accordance with Article 7 of Protocol No 22, Denmark informed the other Member States that it no longer wished to avail itself of Article 5 of that Protocol as from 1 July 2022, by a letter from its Minister for Foreign Affairs of 20 June 2022.
(4) On 23 March 2023, the Council and the High Representative received a notification in accordance with Article 46(3) of the TEU from Denmark that Denmark has the intention to participate in PESCO.
(5) Denmark has set out in its National Implementation Plan its ability to meet the more binding commitments, contained in the Annex to Council Decision (CFSP) 2017/2315, that the participating Member States have made to one another.
(6) The necessary conditions having been met, it is therefore appropriate for the Council to adopt a decision confirming the participation of Denmark in PESCO.
(7) Decision (CFSP) 2017/2315should be amended accordingly,
