One exisitng proposal is to have more meetings for only the countries which do have the euro and a common secretariat for them. Borg claims this would exclude the EU-countries which still have their own currency from the decision processes within the Union.

- I understand why some of them want to do it, but if one believe, like I do, in one Europe and one European Union, then this kind of divisions are troublesome said Borg to Sveriges Radio.

The Swedish people turned down the euro in a referendum in 2003. The member countries are: Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Luxemburg, Ireland, Greece, Finland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Estonia, Cyprus and Malta.

@FragFrog: In other words, if you want to be part of the EU, you should accept its corruption. Why not just install a French governor-general of Sweden right away too? The French are a blight on the EU.

Quite troublesome indeed. Exactly like the division between those countries with the euro and those without. If you want to be part of the EU, you should also accept its currency.
