<Second, there are millions of people outside the euro-zone who are holding European currencies. Merchants, farmers, and workers in Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, and other European countries have savings in trusted German marks. > Don't tell JHP... he thinks Germans are using dollars let along the rest!

Haim, the guy misses the major point, the Euro is simply a bad idea until you have a true political Union in Europe. I do not see individual countries yielding their national independence to a "European Government" any time soon, and without such a Union, fiscal policies (national) and monetary policies (Pan European) are bound to clash. We'll see that as soon as Europe enters a major economic slow down. I would not be surprised to see after 10 to 15 years of futile attempts to get the Euro working to see that ill conceived idea dismantled. Zeev

Haim, An interesting post. Does (or even CAN) the European Euro Banks interpret the law or do they just apply it? For me the question whether the UK changes to the Euro (and this has been turned into a political fight that will be resolved next Thursday).. Does the UK continue to dither on fully joining the European community or should it simply get out of it? I am strongly against "dithering". What will be best for UK business? I suspect joining the Euro is the better solution for UK business. Either that or we should leave the community. So, I expect we will have the Euro here in a year or two. The adoption of the Euro by new countries will strengthen it by its self. Denmark was just one result, I am sure lessons will be learned from it. pearly.
