On the basis of this positive Convergence Report, the Commission proposes to the Council that Cyprus adopts the euro on 1 January 2008. The final decision will be taken by EU Finance Ministers in July 2007, after consultation of the European Parliament, and following a discussion by EU leaders at their June summit.
