The Danish Maastricht Treaty referendum of 1993 was a referendum on whether Denmark should ratify the Maastricht Treaty which had already been rejected by the Danish people in a 1992 referendum. The referendum took place on May 18, 1993, with 56.7 % voting for the ratification and 43.3 % voting against, from an 86.5 % voter turnout.[1]

It was the second attempt to ratify the Maastricht Treaty, which could not come into effect unless ratified by all members of the European Union. Thus, the Edinburgh Agreement granted Denmark four exceptions from the Maastricht Treaty, leading to its eventual ratification.

[edit] Riots

When the result of the referendum was announced, the outcome and frustrations about the referendum being held only a year after the Danes had rejected the previous treaty led to riots in the Nørrebro area of Copenhagen, during which the police fired 113 shots into a crowd when it was trapped. 11 people were subsequently treated for gunshot wounds.
