Raymond van Buuren, the World-Wide-Account Director of Publicis in charge of the Euro 2002 Information Campaign, will shortly provide you with the details of the main objectives and tools of the Euro 2002 Information Campaign. However, let me emphasise that the citizens of the euro area should be confident that they will receive detailed information at the appropriate moment.
I am repeating myself, but it is important to be aware that we are not introducing the euro in 2002. The euro has already been our currency since 1 January 1999. What we are going to do is to introduce the physical euro banknotes and coins.
