EBT-capital

[eurobillsandcoins]

Paris is nice, I would like to live in the capital! However the ECB is in Frankfurt so I vote Frankfurt. I heard they're going to tear down the ECB building and build a different one in possible a different location, I read it in a Paris newspaper sometime ago.

There was a very good reason to put Amsterdam in the poll, but I forgot.
And Brussels isn't in the poll because only stupid rules are submitted to the national governments from that city.

Probably the Amsterdam treaty (into force on 1st May 1999). However this treaty has no immediate relation to EBT.

We would have euronotes without Giesecke & Devrient (the P printer).
We would have entered euronotes without bhoeyb (3.7% less but anyway).
We would have euros without Maastricht (the treaty would have been signed elsewhere).
We could track without Frankfurt where the ECB resides.
We could track without permission of the European Parliament in Strasbourg (in fact, we do).
So only Paris and Helsinki remain, the residences of the Webmaster and the Server, respectively. Good arguments for both!

You make a point!

Will still take a while:

Apart from that ... the EU can exist without a single capital, and EBT can do so too.
