OTHER COUNTRIES THAT USE THE EURO
DRUGE DRŽAVE, KI UPORABLJAJO EVRO
Only EU members can be part of the euro area.
V evroobmočju so lahko samo članice EU.
Andorra uses the euro as a de facto currency, meaning it has no legal status but is commonly used.
Andora uporablja evro kot de facto valuto, kar pomeni, da nima pravnega statusa, vendar je v splošni uporabi.
Kosovo and Montenegro also do so, following the tradition of the German mark which had previously been the de facto domestic currency in these areas.
Enako velja za Kosovo in Črno goro, ki sledita tradiciji nemške marke, ki je bila nekoč na teh območjih de facto domača valuta.
However, while they are not formally part of the euro area(or the EU), Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican City all use the euro as their currency and are entitled to issue limited quantities of their own euro coins through monetary agreements with the EU.
Monako, San Marino in Vatikan, ki uradno niso v evroobmočju(ali v EU), uporabljajo evro kot svojo valuto in lahko na podlagi monetarnih dogovorov z EU izdajajo omejene količine lastnih evrskih kovancev.

All the others are expected to adopt the euro once they meet the conditions for doing so – except for Denmark and the United Kingdom, which negotiated an opt-out from monetary union in the 1992 Treaty on European Union (the Maastricht Treaty).
Vse ostale bodo evro sprejele, ko bodo izpolnile potrebne pogoje – razen dveh držav, Danske in Združenega kraljestva, ki sta se pogodili o izvzetju iz monetarne unije, kar je vključeno v Pogodbo o Evropski uniji iz leta 1992 (Maastrichtska pogodba).
- government debt no more than 60% of GDP or approaching that level• durability of convergence (long-term interest rates no more than 2 percentage points above the three best performers in terms of price stability)• exchange rate stability (two years within ERM II without severe tensions).
- javni primanjkljaj načeloma ne sme presegati 3 % BDP- javni dolg ne sme presegati 60 % BDP oziroma se tej ravni ne sme približati• vzdržnost konvergence (dolgoročne obrestne mere ne smejo za več kot 2 odstotni točki presegati treh držav z najboljšimi rezultati glede stabilnosti cen)• stabilnost menjalnega tečaja (dve leti znotraj ERM II brez resnih napetosti).
ERM II allows the exchange rates of participating EU currencies to fluctuate against the euro within fixed margins above and below a central rate.
ERM II dovoljuje nihanje deviznih tečajev sodelujočih valut EU držav glede na evro znotraj fiksnih meja nad in pod centralnim tečajem.
The Maastricht Treaty enshrined the goal of a single currency and set out the conditions for joining.
Maastrichtska pogodba si je za cilj zastavila enotno valuto in določila pogoje za pridružitev.
These are the ‘Maastricht criteria’ or ‘convergence criteria’, designed to ensure the smooth functioning of monetary union.
To so „maastrichtska merila“ ali „konvergenčna merila“, s katerimi se želi zagotoviti neovirano delovanje monetarne unije.
The Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) states that government deficits and debt should be less than 3% and less than 60% of GDP respectively.
Pakt za stabilnost in rast (PSR) določa, da mora javni primanjkljaj znašati manj kot 3 % BDP, javni dolg pa manj kot 60 % BDP.
On this basis, the Commission monitors fiscal policy and public finances in Member States both inside and outside the euro area.
Na podlagi tega Komisija spremlja fiskalno politiko in javne finance v državah članicah znotraj in zunaj evroobmočja.
This rule-based framework thus helps promote fiscal discipline in the EU.
Ta na pravilih osnovani okvir torej pomaga spodbujati fiskalno disciplino v EU.

Tabela 2: EU in druga velika svetovna gospodarstva:glavni podatki
To achieve EMU and create the conditions for a strong and stable singlecurrency, the euroarea Member States successfully coordinated economicpolicies to enable their economies to converge.
Da bi dosegli EMU in ustvarili pogoje za močno in stabilno enotno valuto, sodržave članice na območju evra uspešno koordinirale ekonomske politiketako, da bi omogočile zbližanje njihovih gospodarstev.
Today, the euro-areacountries share a single currency with:

Svetovni odlivi TNI Odprtost za trgovanje
Because separate economic policies can have spillover effects on othereuro-area members, economic policy must be coordinated and fiscal discipline ensured, while retaining the flexibility to respond to economicshocks and periods of recession.
Ker lahko ločene ekonomske politike vplivajo tudi na druge članice območjaevra, mora biti ekonomska politika koordinirana in zagotovljena fiskalna disciplina, istočasno pa ohranjena tudi fleksibilnost, ki omogoča odzive naekonomske šoke in obdobja recesije.
This is achieved by:

The key figures given in Table 2 show important features of the EUeconomy compared with the USA and Japan.
Glavni podatki iz tabele 2 kažejo pomembne značilnosti EU gospodarstva v primerjavi z ZDA in Japonsko.
As the new Member States align their economies to achieve convergencewith the euro area, they will need to meet the same economic criteriabefore entry.
Nove države članice usmerjajo svoja gospodarstva, da bi dosegle konvergencoz območjem evra, prav tako pa bodo morale doseči iste ekonomske kriterijepred vstopom.
Proper governance of the euroarea economies is vital, notonly for the prosperity of EU citizens, but also to maintain the euro as astrong and stable currency within world markets so that it contributes toworld economic stability and growth.
Primerno vladanje gospodarstev območja evra je izrednopomembno, ne samo za blaginjo državljanov EU, temvečtudi za ohranjanje evrakot močne in stabilne valute na svetovnih trgih, ki lahko prispeva k stabilnosti inrasti svetovnega gospodarstva.
Since its creation in 1999, the eurohas demonstrated its capacity to ensure a greater macroeconomic stability than in the last three decades.
Od svojega nastanka leta 1999 je evro prikazalsvojo zmožnost, da zagotovi boljšo makroekonomsko stabilnost, kot je bila vzadnjih treh desetletjih.
In spite of unfavourable externalshocks, the single monetary policy has successfully anchored price stability at around a 2 % annual rate of inflation.
Kljub neugodnim zunanjim vplivom je enotna monetarnapolitika uspešno zasidrala stabilnost cen pri približno dvoodstotni letni stopnjiinflacije.

‘The Union shall set itself the followingobjectives:… economic and social progress …… high employment …… balanced and sustainable development … … through the creation of an area withoutinternal frontiers …… through strengthening economic and socialcohesion …… and through the establishment of an economic and monetary union, ultimatelyincluding a single currency in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty.’
… z oblikovanjem območja brez notranjih meja …… s krepitvijo ekonomske in socialne kohezije …… ter z vzpostavitvijo ekonomske in monetarneunije, ki bo končno vključevala enotno valuto vskladu z določbami te pogodbe.“
• The European Union is a major economy in the world measured byshare of global GDP.
• Evropska unija je največje svetovno gospodarstvo, gledano po deležusvetovnega BDP.
Rapid economic growth in the new Member States is adding to this.
K temu prispeva hitra gospodarska rast v novihdržavah članicah.
The EU also trades more than the other bigeconomies; the figures for both the EU-25 and the euro area showthat the EU holds the largest shares of global external trade.
EU trguje veliko več kot druga velika gospodarstva;podatki za EU-25 kot tudi za območje evra kažejo, da ima EU največjidelež globalnega, zunanjega trgovanja.
Treaty on the European Union, 7 February 1992Article 2, first indent
Pogodba o Evropski uniji, 7. februar 1992, člen 2(1)
•The EU is the largest source of FDI in the economies and industriesof foreign countries — almost twice as large as others.
•EU je največji vir TNI v gospodarstva in industrijo tujih držav – skorajdvakrat večji od drugih.
The EU isalso a massive investor in emerging economies from Asia to Latin America.
EU je tudi velik investitor v nastajajoča gospodarstva od Azije do Latinske Amerike.
It has a strong positive balance for outward FDI, whichdemonstrates the desire of EU enterprises to seek win-win partnerships abroad.
Ima močno pozitivno bilanco za TNI, ki kaže željo podjetij EU, da iščejo partnerstva po vsem svetu, kjer imata dobiček obe strani.
FDI is expected to increase appreciably as the EUeconomy grows.
TNI naj bi močno narasle skladno zgospodarsko rastjo EU.

•The process of building the single market and implementing EMUhas greatly encouraged trade, both within the EU and with the outside world.
•Proces ustvarjanja enotnega trga in implementacija EMU sta močnopospešila trgovanje, tako znotraj kot tudi zunaj EU.
This experience makes the Union a market that is veryopen to trade — both in volume and also as a net importer ofgoods.
Zaradi te izkušnje je Unija trg, ki je zelo odprt za trgovanje – po količini ter tudi kot netoizvoznik blaga.

•As a major global financial centre, the EU is home to many of thelargest banks in the world.
•Kot pomemben globalni finančni center je EU dom mnogim največjimbankam na svetu.
As EMU progresses, further consolidation of the financial sector is expected, leading to the creation ofpan-European financial institutions with global reach.
EMU napreduje in pričakuje se nadaljnje utrjevanjefinančnega sektorja, ki bo vodilo k nastanku panevropskih finančnihinstitucij z globalnim dosegom.
For businesses, the fragmented national economies made it difficult for European enterprises to become truly global.
Razdrobljena nacionalna gospodarstvaso oteževala prizadevanja evropskih podjetij, da bi postala resničnoglobalna.
However, within thesingle market, pan-European companies are emerging with the sizeand brand power to compete worldwide.
Znotraj enotnega trga pa nastajajo panevropska podjetja, ki ssvojo velikostjo in močjo svoje blagovne znamke lahko konkurirajo povsem svetu.

Osebe in podjetja na celot- nem območju evra sedaj uživajo ugodnosti prednosti enotne valute.
These benefits liein the greater efficiency and stability of a single currency, in particular:
Te koristi so v večjiučinkovitosti in stabilnosti enotne valute, še posebej:

• Companies benefit in that they no longer need to factor exchange raterisks into their pricing, thus reducing the transaction costs of cross-bordertrade inside the euro area, which previously accounted for 1 % of EUGDP.
• Navadni državljani imajo ugodnosti, saj jim enotna valuta omogoča primerjavo cenpo vsej celini.
In addition, in a larger market, lending is more competitive, whichreduces interest rates.
Tudi potovanje znotraj območja evra je bolj preprosto, saj menjavavalut ni večpotrebna – to znižuje stroške in povečuje turizem in število potovanj.Potrošniki torej uživajo ugodnosti nižjih stroškov in stabilne ekonomije.
These cost savings release capital for more investment, leading to more employment and lower prices.
Enotna valuta spodbuja tudi mobilnosti in ljudje se lažje preselijo zaradi študija ali delovnega mesta v drugi državi članici.

• Member States benefit since the free movement of capital withoutexchange rate risks in the euro area makes cross-border investments inindustry and services much more attractive, creating additional economicgrowth, employment and wealth.
•Svetovna ekonomija uživa ugodnosti, saj ima območje evra makroekonomski režim,ki je bolj predvidljiv: enotna monetarna politika v rokah ene, neodvisne centralnebanke, katere glavna naloga je zagotoviti stabilnost cen; in koordinacija nacionalnihproračunskih politik.
