BRUSSELS, Jan 19 - A meeting of finance ministers from the 12-nation euro zone on Monday will include discussions about the euro, a spokesman for the European Commission said. Spokesman Gerassimos Thomas said the Eurogroup would also discuss the ministers' position ahead of the Group of Seven meeting in Florida next month. "I think there will be a discussion on recent movements in the rates of the euro, that is part of any economic analysis and also the preparation of the G7 will be done in the Eurogroup as well," Thomas told a daily briefing.
He said the language of the ministers and of the European Central Bank on the exchange rate had changed since the start of the year and was focussing on dangers linked to volatility and its impact on the macroeconomic situation.//
