    COPENHAGEN, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Denmark will hold a new referendum on the European common currency euro, Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Thursday, according to reports reaching here.

    The situation has changed a lot since Danish people rejected the euro in a 2000 referendum and it was time to take a new decision, the prime minister said at a news conference.

    No date was set for a vote but it would be held during the next four years, the prime minister added.

    Fogh Rasmussen's Liberal-Conservative coalition won the Nov. 13parliamentary election handing him a mandate to govern the country for another four years with the support from its nationalist ally, the Danish People's Party, and the New Alliance, a smaller centrist group.
