Czech Finance Minister Miroslav Kalousek said on Tuesday he might give up on his efforts to win cabinet backing for setting 2012 as the...

...country's official target date for euro adoption.

"I seem to be in a minority," he told Reuters after parliament approved a package of fiscal reforms aiming to trim the deficit toward the EU's ceiling of 3 percent of GDP and get the country's euro adoption efforts back on track.

The central bank (CNB) has advised the government against announcing any target date after abandoning a previous 2010 goal, clashing with Kalousek [ID:nL20101551]. Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek also spoke against setting any date on Tuesday.
