EU with an 'offer you cannot refuse' to expand euro zone
21:38
The European Commission is working on an offer which will make adopting the euro more attractive to the EU members, European Economic and Financial Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said. “We will try to make a framework that is attractive enough, that is like, as they say in the movies, an offer you cannot refuse,” he said.
The proposals will be announced next week as a blueprint on the future of the euro zone, which is part of a wider plan launched by the bloc to revamp the EU after Brexit.
Moscovici underlined that states should move gradually toward adopting the euro as their currency but he said the Commission has no power and no will to force countries to adopt the euro by a certain date.
All EU member states are obligated to adopt the euro, however there are no deadlines set, and many countries, including Poland are not in a hurry to do so.
