Mountains still to climb
Article Abstract:
The European Union (EU) meeting at Amsterdam produced less than impressive results for the European Monetary Union (EMU) and even less for other issues regarding the security and foreign policy of the EU members. There were however, results with regards international security and immigration that would prove that the meeting was not a failure as originally thought. There were victors and losers in the meeting where the only thing sure is that Europe still has a long way to go to prepare for the EMU.

A Spanish world
Article Abstract:
Spain is keen to join the European Monetary Union, with hopes of regaining political and economic status in Europe, but its real strengths are language and culture. It has increased its military role by sending troops to Bosnia and joining NATO, but its EMU hopes may limit its defense-budget expansion.

The second stage involves laying the groundwork for the introduction of a single currency. The final stage of an actual monetary union is yet to come.
