lpv:translated text	"In September 2003 there was a referendum in which the people of Sweden were given the opportunity to decide whether Sweden should introduce the euro as its currency. The verdict, not surprisingly, was a loud and clear ‘no’. It is now two years since ten new Member States joined the EU. The state of opinion in those countries in relation to the euro varies from country to country. Replacing a currency is, however, an incredibly important and serious matter. It is not just a question of changing coins and notes, but also of giving up a part of your independence. By extension, you lose the ability to control your own economic development. The June List believes that the people must be consulted when decisions of this importance, such as in relation to a new draft Constitution or the euro, are to be taken. For the sake of democracy, it would be best if referendums were arranged – if that is what the people want – in those countries intending to introduce the euro as legal tender. The result of these referendums must then be respected, just like the people of Sweden’s ‘no’ to the euro."@en1
