The deepening of the economic and monetary union (EMU) is a topical issue among the euro countries. The process itself requires a broad discussion, also in non-euro countries. How is Sweden affected when the euro countries take further steps towards greater integration? How should Sweden position itself with respect to the Banking union; and which parts are relevant for Sweden to participate in?

The seminar is co-arranged by the European Commission Representation in Sweden and the Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies (SIEPS).
