Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.

 

The euro, which I like tremendously. is now the currency of many European countries. Very clever thinking went into promoting that currency. All the notes are the same, but the coins of each country are different. A noticeable aspect is that though we all go about with pocketfuls of coins, and change them in different countries, the coins minted in each country are still the predominant ones there by a very long chalk. I am quite sure it will continue like that. The identity of the country is absolutely secure for each of us. There is a great deal we can do. It will be like taking a deep breath and going forward into a new version of the European Union. I welcome that very much.
