	Economic and Monetary Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In economics, a monetary union is a situation where several countries have agreed to share a single currency among them.
		The 10 new countries that acceded to the European Union in 2004 all intend to join third stage of the EMU in the next ten years, though the precise timing depends on various economic factors.
		The European Monetary Institute is established as the forerunner of the European Central Bank, with the task of strengthening monetary cooperation between the member states and their national banks, as well as supervising ECU banknotes.

		In 1995, however, the European Council agreed to abandon the name in favour of the euro, in deference to German concern that the ECU would not be credible, given its track record of repeated devaluation occasioned by the weakness of several of its components, notably the lira, the peseta, the escudo and the drachma.

		For the Central and East European Countries (CEECs), this means that the central parities of their currencies against the euro have to be defined carefully when they enter the erm Mark II.
		These parities need to be consistent with the requirements of nominal stability set out in the Maastricht Treaty, as well as with the needs of economic catch-up faced by the transition economies.
		The prospects of joining the emu now appear to be guiding the strategies of central banks: most countries are stabilizing their exchange rates against the euro, though not always at rates close to equilibrium parities.
