[center][i]On the issue of Schleswig and Holstein, the opinion of the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway is as followed:[/i][/center]

As a signatory of the London Protocol of 1852, as indeed the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire were, the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway upholds that the union between the Kingdom of Denmark and the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein is an "European necessity and standing principle".

As King Frederick VII of Denmark also assumes the role of Duke of Schleswig (which is a [b]Danish[/b] fief and has never been associated with the German Confederation), the Duke of Holstein and Lauenburg (who do belong to the German Confederation), Holstein and Lauenburg already possesses its "position and votes in the German Confederation". Therefore, there is no need for the transfer of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein from one Frederick to another.

If the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire resorts to the usage of military force against the Kingdom of Denmark, the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway, as a signatory of the London Protocol, will immediately intervene on the behalf of the Kingdom of Denmark.
