Latvia became the 18th Member State to adopt the euro. 18 Member States and 333 million Europeans share the same currency. President José Manuel Barroso said: "This is a major event, not only for Latvia, but for the euro area itself, which remains stable, attractive and open to new members." Vice-President Olli Rehn added that "joining the euro marks the completion of Latvia's journey back to the political and economic heart of our continent, and that is something for all of us to celebrate."
