> in any EU country except for Denmark If any EU lawyers know, why is Denmark excluded? Have they opt-out of this? Edit: even UK has this procedure (before their exit), so probably an explicit opt-out.

  Could be. AFAIK, Denmark has several opt-outs on EU laws, just like UK had.

A lot of times (like in NL) this is only valid for cross border claims. Local claims are not allowed under this procedure.
