In the spring of the same year, many heated and comprehensive debates have been held both on Estonia and the euro, and these have not always been completely supportive," Financial Minister Ivari Padar noted. According to him, a significant role in this decision was also played by the great work done by the Ministry of Finance and other government officials of Estonia.
Sama aasta kevadel on nii Eesti kui euro teemadel peetud palju tuliseid ja sisukaid debatte, mis polnud sugugi mitte alati jäägitult toetavad," märkis rahandusminister Ivari Padar. Märkimisväärset rolli selles otsuses mängisid tema väitel ka rahandusministeeriumi ja teisteEesti valitsusametnike tubli töö.
