Yes, Canada has a legal path to E.U. membership – but would it want this?

    Using the euro is optional! Many countries kept their own currency.

      Are there any non-founding-member countries that kept their own currency?

      I believe it’s mandatory for all new members.

        Yes, it is. You can delay it indefinitely, though, and Romania is still on the leu. Other members have blocked them from making the switch, even.
