Poland should be ready to adopt euro in 2009

Finance Minister Stanislaw Kluza declared in a radio interview that he aims to improve the condition of public finances so that by 2009 Poland could meet the convergence criteria and be ready to adopt the euro as national currency. According to Kluza at the moment there is no point in setting the date of euro adoption before these criteria are met. The Maastricht Treaty stipulates that all EU member states are to adopt the euro eventually.
