    Where is the notion coming from that a country has to change their currency to EUR to join the EU? Of the last 3 members to join, 2 adapted the EUR (Croatia and Bulgaria) but Romania kept their own. So it is not a requisite as far as I am aware.

      Sinw the maastricht treaty in 1992, all new member states are obliged to join the euro. They dont do so until their economy and currency hits some benchmarks. The uk ciuld purposely try not to, but they are already stable and developed.
