Denmark to collaborate with Czech Republic on pan-European ID app

·

Denmark and the Czech Republic have signed a cooperation agreement to develop a pan-European ‘digital identity wallet’.

At an EU meeting in Belgium on Thursday, the Danish Digitization Minister Marie Bjerre and the Czech Deputy Prime Minister Ivan Bartos agreed on a roadmap of national projects and knowledge-sharing to build a ‘wallet’ app that will give citizens and businesses access to public digital services across the EU.

“The Czech Republic is one of our strong partners on the European digitalisation agenda and I am pleased to strengthen our cooperation. The digital ‘wallet’ app is an exciting tool that we must implement well – both nationally and in the EU. This cooperation will be crucial for the ‘wallet’ app to achieve its potential,” said Bjerre in a press release.

The cooperation agreement will facilitate the exchange of experience between the Digitalization Agency in Denmark and the Czech Digitalization and Information Agency.

About the European digital identity wallet

The European Digital Identity Wallet is a secure and simple way for European citizens and businesses to prove their identity when using digital services. 

With the ‘wallet’ app, one can securely obtain, store and share important digital documents as well as use for electronic signature of documents. Some of the many uses for the wallet app include:

  • Education: Store and share your education certificates when applying for new jobs.
  • Payment: Authorise payments easily through your wallet.
  • Travel: Store and share important travel documents like boarding passes and identify yourself for hotel reservations.

The European digital identity wallet is intended for use by citizens, public authorities and private companies, and aims to provide easy access to services, protect personal data and comply with GDPR and cybersecurity standards.

Security and privacy are a central focal point for the European identity wallet. You will have full control over the data you share, and your own data will be certified in accordance with the highest European standards for data protection and cyber security.

    Green milestone: More than one in ten Danish cars are electric

    ·

    The share of passenger cars in Denmark that are fully electric is now over ten percent for the first time, according to a calculation from the car importers’ trade association, Mobility Denmark, shows that 

    In August, 7,050 new electric cars were sold in Denmark, and electric cars made up 55 percent of the monthly car sales.

    Tax exemptions have encouraged more Danes to choose an electric car, Mads Rørvig, managing director of Mobility Denmark, tells Ritzau.

    “At the same time, there is now a range of electric cars that have a sufficient range, just as electric cars have become available in several price ranges, so this certainly means something.”

    “And car buyers’ range anxiety is about to be cured, because there are more charging stations and the cars can drive somewhat longer,” said Rørvig.

    He is convinced that electric car sales will only gain even more momentum in the coming years, and that proposed zero-emission zones in Danish cities from the beginningof 2025 will push electric uptake further.

    “After all, we have been given a deadline in Europe which states that from 1 January 2035 we may only sell electric cars, so we will reach 100 per cent at some point. That is why we expect that more than every third car in Denmark will be an electric car in 2030, and maybe it will even go even faster,” he added.

    While the Skoda Enyaq iV was the best-selling electric car in August, Tesla remains the most-bought brand in Denmark overall.

    There are currently 34,318 Tesla Model Ys on Danish roads, closely followed by Tesla’s Model 3, of which 33,396 are registered. This is followed by Volkswagen’s ID. 4 and Skoda Enyaq iV.

    Crown Prince Christian leaving for three-month work trip to East Africa

    ·

    Denmark’s Crown Prince Christian will go to East Africa for an extended work trip, the Royal House announced on Friday.

    The Crown Prince will leave on 4 September and stay until December.

    He will be involved in “the daily operation of two farms, which will, among other things, include practical and administrative tasks and also give the Crown Prince an insight into local nature conservation,” writes the Royal House in a press release.

    It added that there is a “long tradition that the successors to the throne go on extended stays abroad during their youth and have the opportunity to develop and experience the world”, and noted King Frederik X’s “expedition to Mongolia in 1986 focused on the nomads” and work on a vineyard in California in 1989.

    Her Majesty Queen Margrethe also went on longer trips to the East and South America in the 1960s.

    The Royal House said no additional information would be made public:

    “It is the hope of The King and Queen and The Crown Prince that there will be an understanding that the stay abroad remains a private matter from beginning to end.”

    Danish drugmaker Bavarian Nordic predicts strong revenue after large new mpox contract

    ·

    Bavarian Nordic announced on Wednesday that it has signed a contract with an undisclosed European country to provide 440,000 doses of its smallpox and mpox vaccine.

    The delivery of the vaccines will take place before the end of 2024, and the Danish drugmaker said it was therefore optimistic on full-year earnings, writing in a stock exchange announcement that it would maintain its full-year guidance at the top end of its range.

    On Friday, the company published its interim results, declaring revenue for the first half of DKK 2,259 million – which is roughly 30 percent below the same period last year.

    However, revenue from travel health increased by a 15 percent as predicted, while its rabies and tick-borne encephalitis vaccines sold better than expected, said the company.

    After confirming its new contract with the unnamed European country, Bavarian Nordic assured in a statement that it could still fulfil its existing commitment to supply up to 10 million mpox doses, plus another 2 million by the end of the year.

    The new order “will not impact the remaining capacity that is available to support governments and organizations to address the current WHO declared Public Health Emergency of International Concern for mpox”, it wrote.

    Several countries in Africa are currently tackling one of the largest and deadliest known mpox outbreaks to date.

    So far in 2024, more than 8,700 mpox cases and over 400 deaths have been reported across seven African countries, 96 percent of which have occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with children accounting for the majority of infections and deaths, according to a report in June from the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

    On Wednesday, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer Serum Institute in India announced it will develop an mpox vaccine, causing Bavarian’s share value to drop by 7.7 percent on the Copenhagen Nasdaq exchange.

    In April, Bavarian Nordic launched its mpox vaccine in the US, and won a EUR 65 million contract to supply of smallpox vaccines to the EU preparedness programme, rescEU.

    The mpox vaccine is yet to become publicly available in African countries.

    However in June, Bavarian announced it would donate mpox vaccines to support the public health response in Africa, and in August announced it was preparing for a clinical trial to assess vaccine’s viability in children from 2 to 12 years in the DRC and Uganda.

    The trial, scheduled for later this year, may eventually support the vaccine’s approval in the region, said the company in a press release.

    “Children and adolescents are disproportionally affected by mpox in the ongoing outbreak in Africa, highlighting the importance and urgency to broaden the access to vaccines and therapies for this vulnerable population,” said Paul Chaplin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bavarian Nordic.

    New FC Copenhagen Women team wins debut match in front of record crowd

    ·

    F.C. Copenhagen Women won 3-0 against B73 Slagelse in their inaugural league match on Saturday, watched by a record numbers of spectators.

    A crowd of 5195 turned up to watch the Second Division’s season opener at Vanløse Idrætspark, making it the most-watched women’s match ever on Danish soil, excluding the national team. 

    Club director Jacob Lauesen said the numbers showed there is a “huge interest in women’s football” and that “the timing is absolutely right”.

    “It is a fantastic day for women’s football. We are blown away by the great support, and it confirms to us that there are great prospects for FC Copenhagen in women’s football,” he told Bold. 

    “It is a big day for FC Copenhagen. A historic day.”

    The previous record was 2,204 spectators for the match between HB Køge and Brøndby.

    When FC Copenhagen’s men’s team premiered back in 1992, it drew 2,711 spectators.

    Bavarian Nordic ramps up manufacture of mpox vaccine as WHO declares Public Health Emergency

    ·

    The Danish biochemistry firm Bavarian Nordic announced on Saturday it would expand the supply and manufacture of its smallpox and mpox vaccine to Africa, where an outbreak of a severe variant of the disease has claimed hundreds of lives in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and resulted in the Africa CDC and WHO declaring continental and international Public Health Emergencies.

    So far in 2024, more than 8,700 mpox cases and over 400 deaths have been reported across seven African countries, 96 percent of which have occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to a report in June from the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

    On Friday, Bavarian Nordic had sought approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to extend its smallpox and mpox vaccine to children from 12 to 17 years, after a clinical study showed similar immune and safety results in children as adults.

    Bavarian Nordic is preparing for a clinical trial to assess the mpox vaccine viability in children from 2 to 12 years of age in the DRC and Uganda later this year, said the company in a press release.

    The mpox vaccine is not available in African countries, but Bavarian Nordic said that this trial, partially funded by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), may eventually support the vaccine’s approval in the region.

    “Children and adolescents are disproportionally affected by mpox in the ongoing outbreak in Africa, highlighting the importance and urgency to broaden the access to vaccines and therapies for this vulnerable population,” said Paul Chaplin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bavarian Nordic in a press release.

    Bavarian Nordic’s Copenhagen-listed shares jumped 18.5 percent to 285 Danish crowns after the announcement. Over the last five sessions, the stock is up 46 percent.

    During the 2022-2023 mpox outbreak, Bavarian Nordic’s mpox vaccine was granted an Emergency Use Authorization by the U.S. FDA for both pre- and post-exposure use in adolescents, and the company expanded access to the vaccine, supplying more than 15 million doses to 76 countries.

    Since, the Danish firm has built a vaccine inventory that can provide a surge capacity for potential outbreaks. The company has told Africa CDC that it can manufacture 10 million doses by the end of 2025, in addition to current orders, and could already supply up to 2 million doses this year.

    Africa is currently tackling one of the largest and deadliest known mpox outbreak to date, with children accounting for the majority of infections and deaths. Along with DRC, cases have also been confirmed in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Ghana, Liberia and South Africa.

    Mpox was first identified in the DR Congo in 1970. In most cases, mpox symptoms – typically fever and headache, followed by painful lesions – resolve within a few weeks.

    However, for some, mpox can lead to medical complications, such as bronchopneumonia, sepsis, encephalitis, loss of vision, or death. The mpox virus strain behind the current outbreak, known as clade I, is estimated to be fatal in up to 10 percent of cases.

    Bavarian Nordic specializes in the development, production and distribution of vaccines against infectious diseases in connection with cancer treatment, as well as Ebola and cervical cancer.

    Their biggest market is in Europe and North America and they are headquartered in Kvistgaard, Denmark.

    Bavarian Nordic’s is the only mpox vaccine approved in the U.S., Canada, Switzerland, the EU/EEA and the UK, where it is part of the countries’ national biological preparedness.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently recommends two vaccines to prevent mpox: one by Bavarian Nordic and one by U.S. pharmaceutical company Emergent Biosolutions.

    Bavarian Nordic will announce its second quarter results on 22 August.

    Uber rides will return to Denmark in new format

    ·

    The ride app Uber is returning to Denmark in 2025, a country it previously operated in, with a different business model adapted to the Danish market.

    In light of the changes, the trade union 3F welcomed the company back. The union had been one of Uber’s biggest critics in Denmark under its previous model. 

    “I think Uber has turned the corner. You are allowed to become wiser. When they come, it’s probably because they want to comply with the Danish rules of the game,” said secretary of negotiations at 3F Transport Jørn Hedengran.

    Uber pulled out of Denmark in 2017 amid accusations of social dumping. A review by the Tax Office subsequently showed that 99 percent of the country’s almost 1,200 Uber drivers had failed to report their income from driving.

    Uber’s business model was also found to be in violation of the taxi act, and in 2020 the company paid a fine of DKK 25 million for its operations in Denmark.

    When Uber stopped doing business in Denmark the driving service had 300,000 users in Denmark, according to Uber.

    Many Danes still have Uber’s app on their mobiles because they use it frequently in other countries.

    But, from the beginning of next year, when they order a ride via the Uber app in Denmark, the car will come from the Copenhagen taxi company Drivr, and will cost the same as an ordinary Danish rental car.

    “We bring the best of both worlds into this partnership. It is Uber’s software platform, where they have millions of users, combined with our knowledge of Copenhagen, where we drive and serve customers on a daily basis” said director at Drivr Bo Svane.

    Uber’s collaboration with Drivr mirrors a similar approach they have taken in other countries.

    “We do it in many places in Europe. We find a local partner who can help us with the things we need. In this case it is drivers and local knowledge. And then we contribute with our app,” said regional manager of Uber in Northern Europe Maurits Schönfeld.

    Carlsberg CEO eyes India expansion after buyout of regional partners

    ·

    Carlsberg has taken full control of its business in India and Nepal, agreeing to buy out its Singaporean partner Khetan Group for a total of USD 744 million, the the Danish brewing giant has confirmed.

    Carlsberg announced on August 2 its intentions to buy a 33.33 percent stake in Carlsberg South Asia from Singaporean partner CSAPL Holdings, along with stakes in underlying companies, with the deal expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

    After the sale, Carlsberg will own 100 percent of the business in India and 99.94 percent of the business in Nepal, according to a company press release.

    Carlsberg and Khetan have been embroiled in a long-standing dispute that emerged in 2019, when Carlsberg India board members from Khetan appealed to the Indian government to investigate what they said was Carlsberg’s flouting of laws on trade discounts, advertisement and sales promotion, according to Reuters.

    Carlsberg’s CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen said he was pleased to have reached an “amicable agreement” with CSAPL, and that the buy-out would open new opportunities in India.

    “We can now accelerate investments to capture the long-term growth opportunities in this exciting market,” he said.

    In a new interview with Finans on Thursday, Aarup-Andersen said that Khetan Group had “held back on investments”, and looked ahead to taking Carlsberg “beyond the Steppes”.

    The Danish company currently controls around 17 percent of India’s drinks market.

    Greenlandic court will today decide whether to extradite prominent anti-whaling activist to Japan

    ·

    A hearing at a Greenlandic court will today decide whether the well-known Canadian-American environmental activist Paul Watson, co -founder of Greenpeace, will continue to be held in custody with a view to extradition to Japan, which has had an international arrest warrant on him since 2010.

    Watson, who also founded the activist conservation group Sea Shepherd, had docked his ship in the Greenlandic capital Nuuk when he was arrested on 21 July for anti-whaling activities in Antarctica in 2010.

    Watson himself does not want to be extradited, and his lawyers believe it would be a breach of EU conventions. 

    The Captain Paul Watson Foundation, another organisation founded by the 73-year-old activist, responded in July that it was “completely shocked” by the arrest, “as the Red Notice had disappeared a few months ago”.

    “We implore the Danish government to release Captain Watson and not entertain this politically-motivated request”, stated Locky MacLean, Ship Operation’s Director for CPWF in a press release.

    In the three weeks since the arrest, the case has attracted close international attention. 

    Several celebrities and political figures have voiced their support for Watson, including French President Emmanuel Macron, whose office issued an official statement urging Danish authorities not to extradite the prominent environmentalist, according to Le Monde.

    Actor Pierce Brosnan published a widely-circulated letter to the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen imploring her to “consider saving Paul Watson’s life”.

    The hashtag #FreePaulWatson emerged on X, and the French actor turned animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot – a longtime patron of Watson’s work – told Le Parisien that he was “caught in a trap” and that the Japanese government had “launched a global manhunt”.

    The hearing to decide whether Watson remains in custody will take place at Sermersooq Circuit Court this afternoon.
