Dear colleagues
It has been an interesting day using the Internet to gain information
on the establishment of the euro conversion rates and the launch of
the single currency. I have been listening and watching the BBC
News Euro page, which has been excellent:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/events/the_launch_of_emu/euro_home/d
efault.htm
The key other sources that have appeared on 31.12.98 on the web are:
ECB Press Releases: Determination of the Euro Conversion rates and
Euro Central Rates and Intervention rates in ERM II
http://www.ecb.int
Council Regulation(EC) No.2866/98 of 31.12.98 on the conversion
rates between the euro and the currencies of the Member States
adopting the euro
OJ L359, 31.12.98, p1
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex
Ecofin Council, Brussels, 31.12.98
Press Release (Council), PRES/98/456 (31.12.98)
http://ue.eu.int/Newsroom/
Euro Conversion rates
Press Release (Commission), IP/98/1183 (31.12.98)

The information is also available through
http://europa.eu.int/eurobirth/index.html
History in the making.
Best wishes
Ian
