EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION A European Commission report states: "According to this hypothesis, bilateral trade flows between countries with increased fluctuations in bilateral exchange rates should have declined relative to bilateral flows between countries with stable bilateral rates." But, continues the Report, "a significant link has not been established" and evidence for countries of the European union is inconclusive. The most obvious benefit of creating a monetary union (MU) is the elimination of the need of having to convert EU member countries' currencies into each other, which some have estimated to add permanently possibly 1-2 percent to gdp of the member states. From the political as well as the economic aspect, the most significant, and certainly the most obvious cost of Emu is the loss of political sovereignty and monetary policy as a tool of demand management. www.ecsanet.org /conferences/ecsaworld3/kaufmann.htm   (6401 words)

History of the European Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On the side of the European Union it was partly motivated by a desire to reunite Europe after the end of the Cold War, and an effort to tie Eastern Europe firmly to the West in order to prevent it falling again into communism or dictatorship. The European Union grew out of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), which was founded in 1951, by the six founding members: Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg (the Benelux countries) and West Germany, France and Italy. By the end of the war, a new impetus for the founding of (what was later to become) the European Union was the desire to rebuild Europe after the disastrous events of World War II, and to prevent Europe from ever again falling victim to the scourge of war. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_the_European_Union   (3987 words)

Gleske also observed that one of the objectives of a European currency would be to assume the leading international role that even the deutsche mark could not assume and that such a European currency could gradually replace the dollar as a transactions and reserve currency. reference.allrefer.com /country-guide-study/germany/germany117.html   (2496 words)

European Business Journal: The trouble with EMU. (European economic and monetary union)@ HighBeam Research There are valid reasons for seeking to reform the European Monetary System, but it is also important to recognize that there are risks associated with European economic and monetary union (EMU).

A number of the Maastricht proposals have served to increase the risk associated with monetary union. www.highbeam.com /library/doc0.asp?DOCID=1G1:20553726&refid=holomed_1   (195 words)
