Graham Watson will be meeting Nigel Sheinwald, UK ambassador to the EU, and will be stressing the need for the UK to have an early referendum on joining the euro now that the single currency has replaced the currencies of 12 other member states.
Graham Watson will be meeting senior members and staff of Dorset County Council at County Hall in Dorchester to brief them on current EU issues and the challenges and opportunities for the South West in an enlarged European Union.
Graham has led calls for an early referendum on whether the UK should join the single currency, before it is forced to join, if, as Graham predicts the Euro becomes a "parallel" currency to the pound.
