Commentary
L’ECU ou European Currency Unit a été mise en place en 1979 afin de donner une certaine stabilité entre monnaies européennes. L’ECU n’est pas une monnaie mais un panier de monnaies, y compris la Livre Sterling. Pressentie pour être la nouvelle monnaie circulante européenne, l’appellation Euro lui a été préférée lors de son introduction en 1999.

Historical background
GIBRALTAR
From the Arabic "Djebel Tarik" ("the mountain of Tariq" named after Tariq ibn Ziyad), Gibraltar is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom located in the south of Spain. It connects the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean. The English have maintained a significant military presence there in the past. Although it is now reduced, there are still many testimonies. Gibraltar is claimed by Spain although the majority of the population is against it. The question of Gibraltar is a major cause of dissension in Anglo-Spanish relations. Gibraltar is part of the European Union even if certain European regulations do not apply there, in particular in customs matters.
