The council decided on 3 May 1998 that Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland fulfilled the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency. Greece clearly did not satisfy the conditions (but has announced its intention to do so for participation in January 2001); Sweden failed to fulfill the condition with respect to Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) membership and lacked sufficient independence of its central bank; Denmark and the UK both exercised their " opt- outs " from proceeding in 1999.
