Coming up to holiday season :j Spanish will be breathing a sigh of relief,'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0

We really need to keep the Goldilocks exchange rate, neither too high to lose competitiveness (who wants to adjust via nominal wage reductions)or too low to provoke importing inflation.
