Under the
Agreement between the European Union and the Kingdom of Denmark on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters of 13 August, Denmark has told the European Commission that it is to implement
Regulation 542/2014 amending
Regulation 1215/2012 as regards the rules to be applied with respect to the Unified Patent Court and the Benelux Court of Justice (the "Brussels I Update Regulation").
Denmark originally opted out of the EU's Brussels I regime for recognition and enforcement of judgments but, following Denmark's recent referendum vote in favour of ratifying the
Unified Patent Court Agreement, implementation of the Brussels I Update has become necessary.

This a bit imprecize... The Danes opted out of Brussels I (and other private international law measures) long ago and agreed in 2005 to implement them via a special agreement between the EU and Denmark. That agreement states explictly, that if there is a change in Brussels I regulations, Denmark shall agree to it within 30 days of adoption, and otherwise the whole EU-Denmark agreement is void. Thus Denmark has always until now within 30 days notified the commission it keeps on applying the Brussels I agreement provisions as stituplated in the EU-Dk agreement, and has never stopped to do so...
Thanks, Anonymous, for your clarification.
