Are you sceptical about the euro?

From Europarl's own website:

"According to a recent report by the European Parliament some members of the public in the 12 countries of the euro zone "have a negative perception of the euro".

Ominously, the report goes on to state that "this tendency is on the rise". In the last report, 66% of people questioned expressed their support for the currency, that's 11 points down since its introduction in 2002.

The response:

This has prompted the Parliament to vote overwhelmingly in support of a renewed communication campaign to emphasise what it sees as the benefits of the euro. These include:

• price stability
• reduced transaction costs
• low mortgage rates
• easier travel
• historically low interest rates

In other words, when the people perceive something to be negative, all the EU can think of to do is to issue more propaganda to tell folks how wrong they are.
