Abstract

Indeed I have been able to draw several conclusions. We inherited a common currency, a currency which I consider to be a major accomplishment. In the history of the European Union the creation of the euro is a revolutionary success on a par with the launch of the ECSC1 in 1950. It was an exceptional moment in the Union’s history and never witnessed before. In the past we have witnessed countries with 17 currencies and one government today we have the opposite. It is a tremendous heritage.
