You know, Jan-Erik, this might also be a good time to point out that 
Sweden do not use the Euro... Some people might not know that not all EU 
countries are Euro countries.

The list consists of (as far as I can remember): Sweden, Denmark, England.

There are probably some "new" EU countries who don't have the Euro, but 
still want to get it, and who are in the process of applying (although 
they might have changed their minds now).

But the above three are the "old" EU countries that I can recall, which 
have decided to stay out of the Euro.

Denmark and England both have a clause in their EU membership conditions 
stating that they are allowed to stay out of the Euro. Sweden just 
invented saying "no" (after a referendum) when the question was popped. 
Very upsetting to the EU, and I think EU still haven't figured out how 
to classify Sweden in this regard. Sweden is one (of a very few) 
countries who actually fulfill the conditions for converting to the 
euro, and they really did expect that anyone would want to say no at 
that point, so they have not provisioned for that situation.
