slovenia will join eurozone in 2007

Grasser: The internal market must be completed, “We want to set a course towards a more competitive Europe, towards more investment in Europe and towards secure jobs. There was broad agreement on this on the part of the ministers. We want to see things get done. One thing is certain: the internal market must be completed. That means less fragmentation, greater deregulation, more liberalisation and fewer — but more efficient — regulations”, Federal Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser, President of the Ecofin Council, said at the press conference during the informal meeting of Economics and Finance Ministers in Vienna, which ended on Saturday.
