Euro countries

Those countries in Europe that have adopted the EUR as their common currency. At the beginning of 2014, these were eighteen countries, namely Belgium, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia, Cyprus and Latvia. – Incidentally, at the beginning of 1998, in an appeal (!) to the German government and to the public, sixty German professors warned against the introduction of a common currency: it would come too soon and would not work. Among the callers was the later president of the German Bundesbank, Professor Axel Weber. Even the Federal Constitutional Court was unsuccessfully challenged against the introduction of the euro. – See hasty entry, euro crisis, Euroland, euro currency area, Eurozone, unit of account, European, currency area, optimal. – Cf.
