Sweden will hold a referendum on Sept. 14, to decide whether or not to adopt the Euro, which has been used in 12 of the 15 European Union (EU) countries since Jan. 1, 2002. Sweden, Denmark and Great Britain are the only current EU members that have not adopted the currency.
All government acts of support for the adoption of the Euro were postponed today, after foreign minister Anna Lindh was stabbed while shopping at a Stockholm department store. Her injuries were reported as serious and life-threatening.
