A Slovakian delegation is presently in Malta to observe the operations of the National Euro Changeover Campaign (NECC), just over four months before the island joins the eurozone. Slovakia is expected to join the eurozone in January 2009, granted that it fulfills the necessary criteria to adopt the European currency.

Last May, the Cypriot euro changeover committee also visited Malta to learn more about the local campaign, soon after both states were given the go ahead to join the European currency by the European Commission.

The Commission praised Malta’s efforts in preparing for the changeover through the NECC.  

A programme was scheduled for the visitors on Monday, where the Slovakian delegation was able to observe Malta’s final euro adoption preparations.
