The Tuesday workshop was focused on the introduction of the euro into the Czech economy. In both prepared speeches and in the subsequent rich discussion was showed that the issue of introduction of the euro is very topical not only for the Czech academical community but also for other countries such as Poland and Hungary. There was a very interesting discussion between the representatives of the countries paying by euro – Germany, Spain and representatives of the countries considering its introduction. It has been confirmed, even on the academical field, there are many substantive arguments, but also many of them are dependent on the current economic situation of a particular country. In some speeches was confirmed that “non-economic arguments” are largely influenced by the political rhetoric of the government and they are reflected in the positive or negative assessment of the introduction of the euro. This was again confirmed by the fact that the decision to introduce the euro itself is more a political decision than an economic decision.
In Czech
Úterní workshop se věnoval tématu zavedení eura do české ekonomiky. Jak v připravených vystoupeních, tak i v následné bohaté diskuzi si ukázalo, že problematika zavedení eura je velmi aktuální nejen pro českou akademickou obec, ale i další země jako je Polsko, Madarsko. Rozvinula se velmi živá diskuze mezi reprezentanty zemí platících eurem – Německo, Španělsko a reprezentaty zemí, uvažujících o jeho zavedení. Potvrdilo, že byť na akademické půdě, tak řada argumentů je v rovině věcné, ale řada z nich je závislá na aktuální ekonomické situaci konkrétní země. V případě Polska se potvrdilo, že velkou roli v hodnocení pozitiv či negativ zavedení eura sehrávají i „neekonomické argumenty“, ve velké míře ovlivněné politickou rétorikou vlády. To opět potvrdilo fakt, že samotné rozhodnutí o zavedení eura je více politickým, než jen ekonomickým rozhodnutím.
