Weekly Review of Slovenian Business & Economy from 8 to 14 November

Ljubljana, 16 November - The government last week adopted a programme of Slovenia's entry into the ERM II at the end of 2004 and the subsequent introduction of the euro. Paying a visit to Slovenia, European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Pedro Solbes labelled the programme as credible, enabling Slovenia to join the EMU in 2007. Meanwhile only one of the two Slovenian projects for the 5th pan-European transport route was placed on the "quick list" of the EU transport priorities.
