Hey this is gonna be fun. You used to have the guilder in the Netherlands. Then you wanted to buy something (for example a loaf of bread) and then you had to pay guilders (for example two) for it. But now you have the euro. Then you want to buy something (for example a loaf of bread) and then you have to pay euros (for example three) for it. And the nice thing is: if you go to Greece, you can also pay with euros. In fact, if you don’t go to Greece, you also have to pay the Greeks euros. Many people, especially people who often go on holiday, find the euro very nice. But many other people do not like the euro at all. And now all kinds of hotshots, from Hans Hoogervorst to Lex Hoogduin and from Jeroen ‘Schnapps und Frauen’ Dijsselbloem to Klaas Knot to Nout Wellink to Adriaan Schout, are going to talk about this with the House of Representatives in the round table discussion THE FUTURE OF THE EURO. Read up on hierrrstream after the break.
