EURO CAN LAST FOR MORE 5 YEARS?

 Below is  a part of an interview of DR Konrad (Merkel's advisor ) in which he refers to the euro and says that he is pessimistic about the outlook of the whole project.  

In notably outspoken remarks for a senior German figure, Dr Konrad, chairman of a scientific council that advises the finance ministry, said: “Europe is important to me. Not the euro. And I would only give the euro a limited chance of survival.”

Asked whether he thought the single currency would last five years, the economist said: “A concrete period is hard to identify as it depends on so many factors. But five years sounds realistic.”
