The European Journalism Centre in co-operation with DG Economic and Financial Affairs of the European Commission is organising a three-day information briefing specifically tailored for journalists coming from the new EU Member States who have not yet adopted the euro.

What are the economic challenges for the new EU Member States? Is an enlargement of the Euro-zone foreseen in the near future? What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of "the group” during a period of economic crisis?

These questions and an appreciation of the first 10 years of the European single currency, the latest developments due to the economic crisis and the role of Europe’s single currency in its second decade are just some of the topics that will be addressed by European Commission officials and independent experts during the briefing that will take place from 10-12 May 2010 in Brussels.
