Region Syddanmark

Region Syddanmark (English: Region South Denmark) is a future administrative region created under the Danish Municipal Reform, which replaces the traditional counties ("amter") with five larger regions. At the same time, smaller municipalities will be merged into larger units, cutting the number of municipalities from 271 to 98. The reform will be implemented in Denmark on 1 January 2007.

The new Region Syddanmark will consist of the former counties of Funen, Ribe and South Jutland, adding ten municipalities from the former Vejle County. The territories formerly belonging to Vejle County will become the new municipalities of Fredericia (unchanged by the reform) and Vejle. The latter will be formed of the municipalities of Børkop, Egtved, Give, Jelling, Kolding, Lunderskov, Vamdrup, and Vejle. A total of 88 municipalities will be combined to a total of 22 new units (listed below).
