Your Majesty, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yesterday we said goodbye to the decade we learnt to know as the ’00s. It proved to be a decade with many encouraging achievements. The most encouraging probably being the record low unemployment rate in Denmark in the summer of 2008. But it also turned out to be a decade which eventually did cast long shadows. The entire world was seriously affected by a deep economic crisis, which we have not yet seen the end of. Danish enterprises have lost sales abroad. Jobs have been lost. Families are faced with unemployment and an insecure future.
