What good is an 'economic union' without economic continuity? It seems reasonable to expect any such initiative would include a common currency, or at least common valuation.
Maybe not to you, but it would to most, I suspect.
I've never heard the phrase "economic continuity". What's your definition?

A common currency is a bad idea. And unnecessary. So is equalizing tax rates.
I don't think anyone is serious about pushing a common currency. I'd be surprised if the Euro lasts another 10 years. Italy might drop out of the Euro. If they do, it could start a trend. Germany hates the Euro.
