I do think it would be fair to require them to adopt the Euro this time around, for example. But even if that doesn’t happen as long as everyone is better with the UK in then it’s worth it.
It would feel fair, but it’s also not that important for either the EU or the Euro itself.
The Euro is really a 1990s invention, when cash was dominant. Now that all payments are digital, it really doesn’t matter if countries use the Euro or their own currency.
Any country joining the EU pledges to join the euro, but there are no deadlines defined and there is little animo to push countries to join, but technically it’s part of the deal.
