"Slovenia fulfils the Maastricht criteria, which Mr Prodi himself recently described as stupid. As such, the country may adopt the single currency, having applied to do so. It will in fact be the only country in the euro zone to fulfil these famous criteria.
Our abstention on this issue is not a rejection of Slovenia’s application. We will not be voting against Slovenia’s application if that is what the country, and more importantly its people, actually want. We cannot, however, accept the entry of a new country into the least dynamic economic area in the world, which is saddled with a monetary policy that is destroying our already weak growth and with an exchange-rate policy that is harmful by its absence.
Adopting the euro is not a good idea. As Frenchmen we know this. France has done so and is paying a high price."@en1
