name should be the same in all ofcial languages of the European Union
(EU), taking account of different alphabets, and easy to pronounce. Above
all, it had to be simple and representative of Europe.
The currency also needed to have a symbol. Like the name, the sym-
bol had to be clearly associated with Europe, easy to write and attractive.
A list of thirty possibilities drawn up by European Commission staff was
reduced to ten and these became the subject of a public survey. From this
shortlist, two possible symbols emerged and the nal choice was made by
the then President of the Commission, Jacques Santer, and Yves-Thibault de
Silguy, the Commissioner in charge of Economic and Financial Affairs at
that time.
The euro symbol was inspired by the Greek letter epsilon, reecting the
cradle of European civilisation. «E» is of course the rst letter of the word
Europe. The two strong parallel horizontal lines are intended to symbolise
the stability of the currency. The ofcial abbreviation of the euro, EUR,
has been registered with the International Organization for Standardiza-
tion (ISO).
Task 1. Read the text and answer the following questions.
1) When and where did leaders decide on the currency’s new name?
2) What letter was the euro symbol inspired by?
3) Whatistheofcialabbreviationoftheeuro?
4) What is the symbol of stability of the currency?
Task 2. Fill in the gaps with correct word-combinations in the correct tense
form: to associate with, to decide on, be the same in, made by, to
register with, to be inspired by.
1) At the meeting of the European Council in Madrid in December
1995, Europe’s leaders ________the currency’s new name: the
euro.
2) Theyagreedthatthenameshould________allofciallanguagesof

3) The currency also needed to have a symbol. Like the name, the
