[quote]The European Commission aims to make adopting the euro more attractive to European Union members currently outside the currency bloc,
the economics commissioner said on Tuesday, in a bid to make the union more tight-knit after Britain's vote to leave.
The proposals will be unveiled next week in a blueprint on the future of the euro zone,
which is part of a wider plan launched by the EU executive on how to revamp the union after Brexit and amid a surge of euroskeptic sentiment.

Personally, im looking forward on what they're going to propose, but on the other hand i'd like to see the results of Macron's euro zone reforms first, so new euro members don't possibly suffer as badly as Southern Europe.

Is it gonna be supported by a cheesy TV commercial?

Well, we've already got this [url]http://www.captaineuro.eu/[/url]

But if we think about this, how could they make the framework smoother for us? Introduce some of Macron's reforms even this year, as a way to encourage EE to join eurozone? They're already giving us EU funds, I don't know what more can they do except for some much needed reforms.

I'd like some adjustments to be made to ensure that switching over to a Eurozone state gives more security and income equality in the poorer nations. Some anecdotal interactions with Slovenes leads me to believe that they got shafted because adjusting to a currency like that damaged their employment and purchasing power.

Hopefully the expansion plan would also warrant dodging a Greece scenario, too.

Presumably then if Scotland went independent and applied to join the EU, this means they would certainly have to use the Euro then?

Have Macron's eurozone plan went fully into force, im sure we would all avoid that scenerio, and probably gain that security, but probably not income equality, that would require for the nations to simply get richer, unless they got something for that as well.

More than likely yes, so they would have to forget about that fake pound sterling they have been trying to get around everywhere.

Or as it gets called everytime I take it from Scotland to England "Monopoly money" because of the colours

Every new EU member has to accept euro later or sooner, no opt-outs for them.
