Täpsemalt: On 1 January 2002 EURO notes and coins were introduced in the Member States, gradually replacing the national currencies. On 28 February 2002 the transitional stage of dual circulation came to an end. The EURO is now the sole currency for more than 300 million Europeans. The challenges facing the long-term success of EMU (European Monetary Union) are continued budgetary consolidation and closer co-ordination of Member States' economic policies. Finally, the introduction of the single currency in Europe had the potential to steer the Union towards a greater international role.

For journalists in the “old” member states the introduction of the Euro already seems a long time ago, but the current debate on new member countries joining the EURO brings the issue back to the fore.

The debate about the EURO centres around the question of how and when the New Member States would join the single currency but due to the symbolic value of the EURO, the debate in the new member states will also give an indication on how their citizens are coming to terms with the enlarged European Union.

Creating awareness about the new countries of an enlarged EU, and explaining the reasons for the EMU policy and its possible contribution towards meeting the needs of “old” and “new” European citizens is crucial to a successful implementation of the policy.

It is therefore important to give journalists the tools, background information and understanding of the economic and financial aspects, as well as the potential impact of the EURO introduction that will allow them to produce accurate and informed news about these issues.

At the initiative of the European Commission, Directorate General Economics & Finance (EcFin), the European Journalism Centre (EJC) will organise a series of 8 information seminars in 2005, also in co-operation with European Central Bank (ECB). The workshop will take place in Brussels (2 days) and at ECB headquarters in Frankfurt (2 days).
