abcdefghiEU members: Denmark is eligible to join the euro at any time they wish, but has an opt-out, as does the United Kingdom. Lithuania has been eligible to join the euro since
28 June2006. Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Sweden are obliged to join the euro, but not yet members of the
European Exchange Rate Mechanism II; Sweden deliberately fails to meet this criterion for adopting the euro without having an opt-out. Andorra is in negotiations to formally adopt the euro as its legal tender. Accession countries/candidates: Should Albania, Iceland, Macedonia, Montenegro and Turkey ultimately join the EU, they will probably join the euro. Furthermore, Cape Verde has considered changing its currency to the euro; however, it is not quite clear whether the country will integrate with ECOWAS or with EU. French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna have been discussing the idea of abolishing the franc pacifique and adopting the euro.
