70 percent of Poles against euro adoption

The poll by the Public Opinion Research Centre (CBOS) found nevertheless that 78 percent of respondents felt that Poland had benefited from joining the EU in 2004.

The survey was carried out simultaneously in three other EU member states.

Both Czechs and Hungarians shared Poland's doubts about joining the single currency.

Some 70 percent of Czechs were against the introduction of the euro, as were 61 percent of Hungarian respondents.

Meanwhile, in Slovakia, which adopted the euro in 2009, 40 percent of respondents disapproved of the change. (nh)
