BRUSSELS: Cyprus and Malta got the final go-ahead to adopt the euro single European currency, at a meeting on Tuesday of EU finance ministers, officials said.
The ministers, meeting in Brussels, agreed that the two Mediterranean islands should adopt the currency as expected on January 1, 2008, and swell the ranks of the European currency club to 15 members.

The ministers also set definitive conversion rates, under which one euro will be worth 0.585274 Cyprus pounds and 0.4293 Maltese lire.
