Originally posted by CryingSheep View PostThere is nothing to agree or disagree... UK, Denmark and Sweden, they all negotiated an exception to joining the Euro!
"Some European Union countries have negotiated "opt-outs" in areas of EU policy they do not want to join.
In the case of the UK and Denmark, these opt-outs include membership of the euro currency.
Sweden, a country which has no opt-out, has also been able to resist adopting the euro. In 2003, a referendum was held in which voters rejected joining the currency."Comment

Originally posted by Mordac View PostIt is now. Denmark has an opt-out*, since they joined before Maastricht. Everyone who joins now must adopt the Euro when they meet the qualifying criteria.
