I think it's only a matter of time before you can't belong to the EU without being part of the EEC. Countries like Sweden and England have been given great leeway in not doing so, but for the greater good of the community I think it has to be done eventually. I don't see why it would be any more difficult for the Brits to give up the pount than it was for the Germans to give up the Deutschmark or the Dutch giving up the Guilder. To me this is akin to having Alaska and Hawaii using their own currency.
