But even if Turkey becomes an EU member in a couple of years, that does
not mean it can "automatically" adopt the euro. Keep in mind that the
ten countries which joined the EU this year have very different
schedules concerning the currency union ...

The current policy is that the euro will be adopted (so, no new Danmark,
Sweden or UK), but a time-frame is lacking. The only new country for
which I read about a definite year was Malta, where the intended year
of 2005 was changed to 2006.
