“This means that 56.6 per cent of our laws would need to be changed in connection with the adoption of the euro,” stated the head of Government.
According to the Prime Minister, the process of changing the laws is not difficult in technical terms – not each law needs to be separately voted on.
The Government approved on Thursday and sent to Riigikogu the legislative amendment proposals related to the adoption of the euro.
According to the plans, the official currency used in Estonia from January 1, 2011 will be the euro.
