".
Starting from the premise that the single European currency is an essential and symbolic factor in the process of creating a European identity, whilst recognising that every Community citizen, including those who live either in countries which have not joined monetary union, or in applicant countries, will be significantly affected by the introduction of euro notes and coins, the rapporteur, in the follow-up to the Commission proposal, supports an information campaign with a view to increasing the confidence of the European public in the euro and to guaranteeing that the euro has a trouble-free introduction on 1 January 2002.
With regard to banking, the rapporteur proposes that the Commission should intensify its actions with a view to “preventing high bank charges for cross-border financial transfers and high costs of conversion in the euro area”.
Throughout the report, however, on various occasions, the technical information that is necessary to enable the public and businesses, particularly SMEs, to adapt to the new currency is confused with propaganda campaigns on economic and monetary union. This is something that we should not support. The rapporteur describes women, for example, as a target group to which particular attention should be paid, through women’s organisations and magazines, since women still have considerable reservations about the introduction of the euro."@en1
