"Even though Sweden decided, through a referendum, not to participate in economic and monetary union (EMU), we have chosen to vote against the report and would like to take the opportunity to explain why we have done so.
The report provides a clear picture of how EMU goes hand in hand with the creation of an EU state. According to the report, macroeconomic policy between the countries of the euro area is to be coordinated, and the euro area is to speak with one voice in international financial institutions and fora. The report advocates better fiscal, especially budgetary, coordination and the coordination of national fiscal calendars. Moreover, the objective of introducing a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base in Europe could be achieved through the mechanism of enhanced cooperation if Member States were unable to reach unanimous agreement.
We can only conclude that the representatives of the ‘no’ campaign in Sweden’s EMU referendum in 2003 were entirely correct in their argument when they pointed out that EMU was a major step on the road to a United States of Europe."@en1
