#2 France? There are issues they have the stature to influence, or even decide. I'm not sure this is one of them.

With your government's enthusiastic cooperation, European Conservative. I don't know that the present chancellor, just named the sixth most powerful person in the world, would be as agreeable.

#5 Enthusiastic in public, not so enthusiastic off the record.

Mitterand blackmailed the Kohl government into accepting the Euro otherwise France, along with the UK, would block German reunification.

The "stability pact" meant to placate the fears of the German people was a sham. The admission of Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal violated any rule.

#7 tw

I fiercely opposed the euro because I didn't believe a thing about the "stability pact".

Btw just in case you wondered about my nick: You can be a European without believing in the EU Commission.

My idea of Europe is that of a free market Europe of peaceful nations, not a socialist EUSSR
