This does get to be a bit away from Asia :-) Time to start a "Europe Forum" thread ?

Hello Thomas Let me toss-out a thought here..... Does the world know how the new EMU currency is going to be floated? From what I understand we do not know exactly. What is your opinion on the possibility that the EMU's currency might be pegged to a basket of commodities? In view of all the turmiol and devaluations in the currency markets and combined with the complications of the europian nations compliance for entrance into the EMU....This could be a rather unique way of presenting the new currancy? Any thoughts here...? Thanks Chip

EU slaps $112 mln fine on Volkswagen EU antitrust chief Karel Van Miert says Volkswagen "systematically forced Italian dealers to refuse to sell VW and Audi cars" to customers from outside of Italy.Under EU rules, consumers have the right to shop for the best buy anywhere in the 15-nation bloc. Volkswagen says it will appeal the decision. (USA Today) The above is clearly one good feature about EU and EMU: Thomas: I beg to differ, as it seems to highlight that parochial proclivity-thing i mentioned earlier.<gg>
