Please! Switzerland isn't even in EU, damn, they're not even in the UN.

BTW, Sweden and Denmark aren't in the Euro zone either. Depressingly enough,
most Swedes don't want to join the Euro, but think we're going to do
nonetheless. (Personally, I'm pro-Euro - what I think sad is that most
people don't trust democracy to decide the issue, and that they're probably
right.)

PS I would much have prefered if the EU currency had got called _écu_
(homophonous pl _écus_) as earlier planned. Sounds good (if you can pronunce
that [y]!), have historical justification, is nice Abbrev, and avoids that
omnipresent "euro".
