Developments outside the euro area Finally, I would like to say a few words about developments in non-euro area EU countries. Enlargement of the European Union was a truly historic event and all the more so having occurred so smoothly.
I have attempted to offer one way of doing this, which, I hope, will be useful to you as you get into the agenda items of the conference. My best wishes to all of you for a substantial and meaningful event. Thank you all for being here and special thanks to Mr. Prasad and his team for their efforts in arranging this event.
