Strengthening the international role of the euro

Adopted

494 in favour · 94 against · 100 abstained. 688 members voted.

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Stresses the irreversible nature of the single currency; emphasises that the euro is not only a monetary project but also a political one
• Notes that strong and competitive financial markets are key to strengthening the international role of a currency, and therefore underlines the need for effective, proportionate and predictable regulation in this area
• Underlines that the international role of the euro would also benefit from tapping the potential of one of the greatest added values of the EU: its single market; calls, to this end, for the completion of the single market
