      Because Denmark holds the rotating EU presidency, Denmark is literally required by treaty to work towards compromise when the council cannot agree. If it wasn’t Denmark doing this work, it would be another country holding the EU presidency doing it.

      It’s not really about Denmark - it’s about the entire council agreeing with a compromise the presidency has to seek.
