Thank goodness that I don’t see the Czech Republic included. Nor Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
Thanks for the info. Imagine being a country that had been under the Soviet heel for all those decades, finally gaining freedom, then finding yourself in this pickle!
My notion re the Czech Republic was based on my daughter’s experience there ... she and a Brit friend were traveling Eastern Europe and gave Euros to pay cab fare in the Czech Republic. OMG. What an experience... cabbie started screaming at them, drove them across town like a maniac, stopped the cab, threw their bags out onto the street, and took off. SO they figured the CR didn’t take Euros ;)
Let’s see, from that list: At least four of the countries are teetering on economic default (Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal). Belgium has had internal political struggles. Malta has limited resources and had a 1.2% economic contraction in 2009. Kosovo has an average per capita income equivalent of less than $3,000 dollars. etc. etc. I wonder why the UK wouldn’t want to tie their economic future to the Eurozone?
What was Vatican City’s argument for joining the euro?
Scotland and Northern Ireland are part of the UK so it goes without saying you wouldn’t see them on the list
probably don’t see scotland or northern ireland or wales since westminster handles foreign relations for all of them as the UK.
