Chamber of Commerce launch euro readiness campaign |
|
The British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) is set to launch a campaign to ensure its members are ready for the single currency.
The BCC's Euro Fitness Guide, which is being unveiled on Monday June 24 for its 135,000 members, will include advice on pricing, services and how to review systems to make the transition to the euro a smooth one.
The move comes as the BCC believes a referendum on the issue is likely to be held within a year and as a new survey appeared to dash hopes held by euro supporters had that the more Britons used the single currency abroad, the more they would like it.
Many pro-euro politicians have suggested that opposition to the euro would fade as British people got used to using it on holidays and business trips.
However, a poll taken in February, found 54% of people opposed to euro entry and only 32% in favour.
The BCC is to ballot its members on whether or not they want to join the euro and collate the results in time for the autumn party political season.
