Under the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, a single currency called the "euro" was adopted, and economic criteria for membership in the European Monetary Union were established. The objectives of the Maastricht Treaty were to eliminate the costs connected with several European currencies, increase both currency and international stability, and stimulate economic growth and employment with a more efficient single market and European integration. The individual Member States and the European Union as a whole would benefit with free circulation of goods, services, people, and capital among the Member States ("What is," n.d., p. 2-3). On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen existing European Union (EU) Member States joined the EMU: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lux...

The new members of the European Union (EC8) in 2004 could not have imagined the possibility of joining the EU thirty years ago. The next goal of the EC8 is to achieve European Monetary Union (EMU) convergence in the foreseeable future. This paper looks at the progress achieved by the EC8 to accede to the European Union (EU) and the reforms, strategies and convergence goals necessary to achieve EMU membership. Using synthetic taxonomic analysis, this paper looks at which transition countries are on track to achieve EMU convergence now that EU membership is attained, and for other accession countries. Our empirical study finds that most of the EC8 countries are on track to achieve EMU membership but post-facto membership does not guarantee the maintenance of market restructuring.

Employment policies of the US and European countries have exhibited various differences in terms of perspective, goals and social priorities. The US employment policy has seen its beginnings during the Great Depression of the 1930s when the unemployment was very high and the federal government was pressured into responding to the problem. However, Europe's employment policy stemmed from a boom that member countries experienced prior to the second World War. European employment policies became lax by the early 1960s and were only revived by the early 1970s. By comparison, the European employment policy has been predicted to be more progressive than that of the US.

The creation of a European central bank in the context of economic policy objectives and the establishment of a monetary union within the European Union was analyzed. The major policy objectives are the attainment of high employment levels, increases in productivity and control of inflation. Historically, central banks were established to integrate monetary policy within overall macroeconomic policy. It was suggested that a European central bank should have the additional objectives of growth, regional balance and price stability.
