[edit] Official Bulgarian Transliteration of EURO is ЕВРО as of 13 December 2007

As of 13 December all EU institutions -inc. ECB - use ЕВРО as the OFFICIAL Bulgarian transliteration of EURO. The dispute with the ECB has been resolved in Bulgaria's favor. All the references to the single EU currency in Bulgarian on ECB's website have been changed from ЕУРО to ЕВРО. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.97.200.144 (talk) 07:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Official link? --Dima1 (talk) 08:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

"The word euro will be spelled 'евро' /evro/ in Bulgarian instead of 'еуро'/euro/. All the Member States have given their consent for the word to keep its originalBulgarian spelling 'евро' /evro/ instead of 'еуро' /euro/ as the European Central Bank insisted. The news was announced by the Portugal Prime Minister Jose Socrates."

The European Central Banks switched to using ЕВРО, instead of ЕУРО, on their website late last year. If you had visited their website before December 2007 you would have seen them using ЕУРО.

[edit] Problem with map showing Eurozone

It says Montengro uses the Euro, but it shows Bosnia Herzegovina as Montenegro. Can someone change this map or can we use another one? 213.214.57.217 (talk) 01:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC) Hicham.Vanborm

[edit] confusing sentence

Hi. I'm a bit confused by the second sentence at the top: "It is also used in 9 other countries around the world, 7 of those being in Europe. " What does this really mean? The link at the end of this sentence doesn't really talk about it. Cheers --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 15:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

They mean Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Mayotte and Saint Pierre and Miquelon as "countries" with Euro. Those are not countries, but self-governing territories of the UK and France. This sould be changed. (the 6 real countries are Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, Andorra, Kosovo, Montenegro). --BIL (talk) 20:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I changed it to It is also used in five further countries with formal agreements and six other countries without such agreements. --Red King (talk) 20:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
