: Hej!I'm a student of EC Law at Uppsala University, Sweden.In this period of transition, while Euro is being adopted by the EU memeber states, the position of Swden remains unclear.
: Since Sweden doesn't have any explicit submission to the Maastricht Treaty, is its standing outside Euro-zone fully legal? Why? And if Sweden does not use Euro, could a member state citizen (ex. some french men) insist on paying in Euro in a normal Swedish shop?
: And if so, would there be a fixed exchange rate required?
: Otherwise, could they appeal to the free movement of capitals (art. 56 EC Treaty)?
: If this is not your specialty, could you advise me on other sources of information?
: Thanks
