Europe

Our latest MORI poll suggests that public opposition to EMU entry has fallen a bit from the June/July peaks, but remains above levels seen early this year or in 1998. Thus far, the government's 'softly-softly' approach to EMU - seeking to sway public opinion without giving too strong a lead - has not had much effect.

An opinion poll carried out by MORI for the Transport and General Workers' Union shows that most trade unionists are opposed to British participation in the Single Currency.

Our latest MORI poll suggests that the trend
in public opinion continues to move against EMU entry. The balance of opinion
against EMU (that is, those opposed less those in favour) in July is similar
to the peak at the time of the mid-June EU election, and well above the levels
seen in 1997-98.
