lpv:translated text	"Mr President, my contribution relates exclusively to Mr Olle Schmidt’s report. I wish to congratulate him on this work, even though I do not share his conclusions, for he has not only succeeded in responding to the Commission’s Convergence Report on Sweden, but has also taken the opportunity of making a contribution to the EMU debate in Sweden before the referendum in September. I would ask my fellow MEPs to be alert to what is stated in the report, for I find certain parts of it both erroneous and startling. Firstly, Mr Olle Schmidt writes that prices have not risen in those countries that have introduced the euro. According to both Wim Duisenberg and a report in the Swedish daily prices have in fact risen following the introduction of the euro and contributed to an increase in inflation in the eurozone of 0.2 per cent. Secondly, Mr Schmidt offers a false picture of the Swedish economy. He maintains that, in terms of trade, Sweden has been slipping behind because we have not introduced the euro. He does not, however, mention that Sweden has higher growth and lower unemployment than most countries that have the euro, and without in fact having either high inflation or a budget deficit. What I find startling, not to say of serious concern, in Mr Schmidt’s report is item 6, through which he wishes to make voters feel powerless by stating right now that, sooner or later, we must at all events become members of the eurozone. To that extent, the report is a biased contribution to the EMU debate in Sweden."@en1
