Well, UK have not, and I think they never will. Good for them.

Personally I think the whole situation is far more complicated, in that a 3 way economic war is currently under way between the US, Europe and China..

Anyone ever read 1984?
George Orwell was quite a brilliant man.

I provide you a source. You say that the source is not reliable and that the news is false. Prove that it is false. The onus of proof is yours. I read the text and the comments and found very clear what is happening there. I'm posting here because I know several people who live there and are concerned about the economic situation in Europe. So if you want to contest the news, please provide some proof. Not just what you think. This is all you did.

It does not matter if EU member nations print their own euros because it is taken for granted that all euros are issued by the ECB currently located in germany. Actually its bad news for the euro because it will inevitably cause inflation and make the euro worthless.
Now if the EURO fails two possibilities can emerge but I am quite certain the nwo will choose the second:
1)member nations drop the euro for their local currency or
2)if both the dollar and euro crash at the same time ITS REALLY BAD NEWS because a new global currency will be forced down our necks with the devilish verichip to add insult to injury.
I hope the first happens but protesting peacefully has proven fruitless. Where does that leave us?

You may be right. I may have a distorted view but I remember lots of people posting on the boards on how the new EU Superpower was going to rise and assume a position of global dominance as American power waned.
I think the Euro and the EU is a grabscam that has fleeced millions of Europeans of their hard earned money and, even worse, their national sovereignty and heritage. The stolen booty, of course, going to the elite.

Yeh, I read about it. I think Eurozone will fail. People are starting see things worst than before.
EMERGENCY lending from the ECB to banks in Ireland fell in December, the first decline since January 2010, but only because the Irish Central Bank stepped up its help to banks.
The Irish Independent learnt last night that the Central Bank of Ireland is financing €51bn of an emergency loan programme by printing its own money.
ECB lending to banks in Ireland fell from €136.4bn in November to €132bn at the end of December, according to the figures released by the Irish Central Bank yesterday.
At the same time, the bank increased its emergency lending by €6.4bn, bringing the total it is owed to €51bn.
The latest data does show a levelling off in demand for the loans. Emergency lending to banks shot up €16bn in November, but overall demand for the loans only increased by €2bn in December when ECB and Irish Central Bank figures are combined.
However, the figures also provide the latest evidence that responsibility for funding Ireland's broken banks is being pushed increasingly back on to Irish taxpayers. The loans are recorded by the Irish Central Bank under the heading "other assets".
A spokesman for the ECB said the Irish Central Bank is itself creating the money it is lending to banks, not borrowing cash from the ECB to fund the payments. The ECB spokesman said the Irish Central Bank can create its own funds if it deems it appropriate, as long as the ECB is notified.
News that money is being created in Ireland will feed fears already voiced this week by ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet that inflation is a potential concern for the eurozone.
However, a source at the ECB said the European bank is comfortable that the amounts involved are small enough not to be systemically significant. The ECB has been lending money to banks in Ireland at just 1pc, as long as the banks can put up acceptable collateral.
