Talk:Eurozone
|
|
This article could use a section detailing which countries from the latest EU enlargement want to join the EMU.
Short answer: "All."
Longer answer: A country can only become a member of the EU, if this country also agrees to become a member of the Eurozone (but actual membership in the Eurozone takes place later, after the criteria have been met). Only Denmark and England can chose if they want to adopt the Euro. Sweden has to join, but cannot at the moment because it has not yet fulfilled the criteria. Some month ago there was a referendum in Sweden (so called "Euro"-referendum), that caused the government not to work actively on the fulfillment of the criteria.
Duplication with Euro
See Talk:Euro#Duplication with Eurozone. The stuff from there should be moved here (not vice versa), there's enough material for a separate article. --Shallot 20:16, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
again
Most of the Eurozone article comments about non-eurozone areas. So odd!!! -Pedro 19:42, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- It would be quite short an article otherwise, if we weren't to talk about the option of future expansion of the Eurozone -- which inherently means talking about the countries that aren't yet in the Eurozone and when and how they may be expected to enter. Else it would be a quite short article: a little of twelve countries's names. Aris Katsaris 22:26, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Aris, If we are talking about a subject we should concentrate in it. And not only its borders. For instance, we can comment on the criteria that each country has fullfilled, how difficult it was, the case of Greece, that entered later, and why it entered. The fears at first and the delays, the reception to the new corrency, the future of this integrated economical area, to explain to some wikipedians and people that don't know about it that tend to treat Eurozone has several economies when all are the same. A person that wants to read this article wants to know the origin, the difficulties, the advantages, the goals, what is happening there, what it is, the future, and the expansion. -Pedro 09:42, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- So add that then. Duh. --Joy [shallot]
- Add it right in. Take note not to needlessly duplicate information that's in the articles of Euro or Economic and Monetary Union. In truth I don't see most of your suggestions fitting better in the Eurozone article than in those other ones. Aris Katsaris 13:02, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Proportion of world economy?
What proportion of the world's economy does the Eurozone represent? It would be interesting to know how this compares to the dollar area and other countries.
