The eurozone (officially the euro area) is a currency union of 16 European Union (EU) states which have adopted the euro as their sole legal tender. It currently consists of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. Eight other states are obliged to adopt the zone once they fulfill the strict entry criteria.

Monetary policy of the zone is the responsibility of the European Central Bank, though there is no common representation, governance or fiscal policy for the currency union.

The term "eurozone" or "euro area" can also be taken informally to include third countries that have adopted the euro, for example Montenegro (see details on these countries below). Three European microstatesMonaco, San Marino and the Vatican – have concluded agreements with the European Union permitting them to use the euro as their official currency and mint coins, but they are neither formally part of the eurozone nor represented on the board of the European Central Bank.

Do you require travel insurance when travelling to the ROI from the UK?
Q. I have my EHIC, would that be sufficient? (I know in other countries in the EuroZone, the EHIC counts for basically nothing).
Asked by Nutty M&M - Sun Feb 1 09:36:42 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. When I travelled to other countries I was always covered by a travel insurance in addition to the EHIC. I would not feel comfortable lying in a foreign hospital and not understanding the language in case of severe illness because of the lack of an insurance which covers repatriation which the EHIC does not. That may not be that heard in Ireland however the EHIC only covers basic treatment. Most credit cards include a travel insurance, check the terms and conditions of yours if you have one.
