Extractions: For information on advertising on this page, click here The European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) Euro Currency Unit On January 1, 1999, eleven of the countries in the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) decided to give up their own currencies and adopt the new Euro (EUR) currency: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Greece followed suit on January 1, 2001. The Vatican City is also participating in the changeover. This changeover is now complete. It is worth noting that any place that previously used one or more of the currencies listed below has now also adopted the Euro. This applies to territories of Euro-zone countries as well as to places that do not have their own currency per se. Examples include Andorra, the Azores, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Europa Island, French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Juan de Nova, the Madeira Islands, Martinique, Mayotte, Monaco, Reunion, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint-Martin, and San Marino. Euro bank notes and coins began circulating in the above countries on January 1, 2002. At that time, all transactions in those countries were valued in Euro, and the "old" notes and coins of these countries were gradually withdrawn from circulation. The precise dates that each "old" currency ceased being legal tender are noted in the table below.

Extractions: http://www.democracy.org.uk/resources/emu/faq/emu.html This week's Briefing Room focuses on the European Monetary Union and its future unified currency, the Euro. Each of the five resources listed above and described in detail below, discuss various aspects of this issue. After months of doubt and political difficulties in France, Germany, and most recently, Italy, it now appears that the unified European currency, the Euro, will indeed begin on January 1, 1999 to replace the national currencies of as many as 10 or 11 countries. The path to a unified currency is by no means smooth, however. Many European Union member states are finding it politically difficult to reduce their budget deficit to 3 percent of gross domestic product and other states, such as Britain and Denmark, are choosing to remain out for now regardless. On the other hand, European economic growth will apparently exceed earlier expectations, allowing leaders to use increased tax revenues instead of cutting social services to qualify.

Extractions: For the first time since the fall of the Roman Empire most of Europe has a single, common currency. The US dollar faces the first challenge to its hegemony since it displaced the British pound sterling as the world's most important currency after the First World War. However, if the Euro is to assume a wider role it will have to flourish in its own continent and survive challenges to the stability of European economies first. "If you think the speculators can't get at the countries within EMU, think again. It won't be long before our derivatives geniuses dream up a new synthetic currency. Where there is motive, there will always be opportunity."

Compaq.com - EMU/Euro Programme - Background Economic and Monetary Union (emu) and the euro currency The desire for currencystability in europe has deep roots, with some going back to the 19th century http://www.compaq.com/euro/general.html
Extractions: The desire for currency stability in Europe has deep roots, with some going back to the 19th century - the Latin Monetary Union, German currency union and the gold standard. Serious currency instability in the 1920s and 1930s reinforced that desire. Yet when the common market was established in the late 1950s, monetary union was not explicitly on the agenda. In fact, it was not until 1962 that the European Commission considered a single currency. The defining moment for the single currency actually came with the Delors report, commissioned in 1988 by Jacques Delors, a former French finance minister in the Mitterand government, and European Commission president at that time. The report advocated a staged move towards monetary union and formed the basis of the 1992 Maastricht Treaty. The treaty pointed the way to the development of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and concluded that in a world of newly freed capital movements, the single currency was the only way to achieve European currency stability. The Economic and Monetary Union involves the adoption of a uniform monetary policy and a single European currency, the euro. The euro was officially launched at the Brussels Summit in May, 1998. At this time the European Commission decided that 11 of the 15 European Union countries had met the necessary conditions to adopt the single currency, the euro, on 1 January 1999. At this time the exchange rates among participating countries (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain) is locked and the euro will soon become the single currency of the monetary union.

The Euro Currency And EMU - Precedents; Arguments For And Against criteria as a condition for joining emu has imposed Britain's membership of the singlecurrency, when it takes has suitably converged with other euro countries http://www.theeurodebate.co.uk/arguments/precedents.htm
Extractions: Precedents Introduction Political Economic Business/Trade For Against Consumers Precedents Links to in-depth analysis The United States has an economy and population of a similar size to the eurozone, and runs the world's most successful economy with a single currency. Since essentially the same free market conditions exist in the EU as they do in the United States, and since EU workers enjoy the same freedom as their American counterparts to seek work anywhere in their own free-market area, there is no reason why the eurozone economy should not ultimately function as well as the US economy. Although it is true that the American government has more power than the European Central Bank to transfer money to regions experiencing difficulties, governments within the eurozone will still retain enough economic independence to provide aid to depressed regions. Previous trials of currency convergence in Europe may not have been resounding successes e.g. the

Extractions: EMU and Finland - Essay: Chapter: Participation in the EMU and Its Third Stage Chapter: The Economical and Political Effects of Finland's Participation in the Euro Area Chapter: Finland's Future as a Member of the EMU and the Euro Area Related Links In the spring of 1995 the Government stated in its program that it aimed for Finland to fulfil the convergence criteria of the EMU to allow Finland, if so decided, to participate in the third stage from the outset. This entailed the introduction of the single currency euro. It was also stated that the Parliament would decide whether to participate in the EMU on the basis of a separate Government Bill. In the meanwhile, when the political debating on whether Finland should join the currency area or not was going on, economical and monetary preparations for Finnish participation in the euro area were already made. The Bank of Finland was a member of the EU's European Monetary System (EMS) from the beginning of 1995. Finland joined the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) in October 1996. By joining the ERM, Finland strengthened its exchange rate policy co-operation with the other EU member states. According to the Maastricht treaty regarding the convergence criterion for the exchange rate it was required that the rate had been stable for two years prior to the examination and that the currency had participated in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

Extractions: EMU and Finland - Essay: Chapter: Participation in the EMU and Its Third Stage Chapter: The Economical and Political Effects of Finland's Participation in the Euro Area Chapter: Finland's Future as a Member of the EMU and the Euro Area Related Links The central objectives in Finnish economic policy are an improvement of employment based strong economic growth, a stable currency and a decrease in the public dept. These objectives would have been the same whether Finland participated in the euro area or not. The main focus is on the instruments with which welfare, growth and secure employment could be best achieved. The instruments used are different for Finland as a member of the euro area compared to the situation outside that area. But it is also important to remember that even if Finland had stayed outside the single currency area, the economical and political environment would not have been the same as before. The participation in the Economic and Monetary Union is a complex issue from the viewpoint of the economy, economic policy and politics. As mentioned before the answer to the question whether adopting the single currency is a successful economic policy or not, will depend on how well households, enterprises and interest groups will understand the new circumstances and the terms of successful operation within the new framework. Furthermore, by being a participant country, Finland secures a continued role in the development of the European Union.
