Press Release: Flash Eurobarometer on the euro – May 2001

After a whole year marked by a lack of urgency, basic information about the euro at last seems to be getting across in all the euro zone countries, according to the latest Flash Eurobarometer on the euro published on 25 June 2001 by the European Commission. Broadly speaking the national information campaigns are starting to have a perceptible impact nut with less than 200 days to go before euro notes and coins are introduced, there is still a great deal to be done in informing, training and confidence-building for 306 million citizens.
