Abstract
The title of my address may deserve a few comments in order to put my statement in perspective. The introduction of the Euro — which is now underway — will contribute to European competitiveness. However, it must be clearly understood that other factors are more important for European companies’ability to compete world wide. It would be dangerous if we were to believe that a single currency would be panacea for competitiveness.
