Why does Denmark have three EU 'opt-outs' and what do they mean?
Briefly

The three remaining opt-outs mean, broadly, that Denmark is not obliged to follow EU laws on the areas they pertain to and is also not involved in forming the laws. Danish ministers and officials do not participate in EU ministerial meetings in these areas.
The single currency opt-out means that Denmark is not obliged to join the euro. The country has kept the krone as its currency and is also allowed to practice independent fiscal policy under the terms of the opt-out.
