Andrew Balls: The Sixth Test
FT, 99-08-18
All monetary unions, even relatively small ones like the UK, produce tensions. While there can be gains overall, some parts of the economy bear more pain than others. So political legitimacy is crucial for such unions to be successful.


Mr Attali foresees that within two decades the EU will comprise 40 states, including Serbia, Montenegro, Moldova, Ukraine, Turkey and Belarus and, possibly, Russia, Armenia and Georgia.


Euro row for unions
BBC, September 1, 1999

A major row is brewing over trade union support for the euro ahead of the TUC (engelska LO) conference. Some trade union leaders, including John Edmunds of the GMB and Sir Ken Jackson of the AEEU, are urging the government to do more to promote plans for Britain to join the single currency. Other unions, like the Transport and General Workers Union, and Unison, the public sector workers unions, are more sceptical.

Anatole Kaletsky, The Times, July 1, 1999: Has Blair at last seen the light on the greatest issue facing Britain?
Britain can - and should - contribute enthusiastically to the improvement and enlargement of the European Union, while staying outside the single-currency project, at least for the foreseeable future.
