lpv:translated text	". The rapporteur seems to be blind to the major disadvantages the euro has brought in its train, not least to his own country. In the Netherlands, prices soared after the euro was introduced, something that Mr Zalm, the Finance Minister and a member of Mr Maaten’s party, has denied for years, going on to tell the Dutch parliament a bare-faced lie about the guilder’s undervaluation, and so the Dutch people’s displeasure with the euro should come as no surprise to Mr Maaten. Although my party asked for a referendum on the common currency at the time, Mr Maaten’s party blocked this request. Mr Maaten now hopes, by means of a propaganda campaign, to be able to make up the shortfall of respect for the people’s opinion. The campaigns that are to be launched in Member States that do not yet have the euro must be the last straw. Member States decide for themselves what currency they want. Surely we would not like it if Russia were to campaign over here to introduce the rouble in Europe? We should let the Swedish, British and Danish people make up their own minds. Unfortunately, the Dutch people were not able to speak out in that way."@en1
