Gerhard Schroder(on the euro)

Views about the euro can understandably change over time, but it is hard to conceive of greater Damascene conversion than that displayed by Herr Schroder in opposition in March 1998, when he said:

“The euro is a sickly premature infant, the result of an over-hasty monetary union.”

Contrast this with the pronouncements of the newly-elected Chancellor Schroder on December 31 1998:

“Our future begins on January 1 1999. The euro is Europe`s key to the 21^st century. The era of solo national fiscal and economic policy is over.”

Hmm.
