Trouble on the European front

[Jon-san]

I recalled there was an interest many yrs back to form an Asean economic union, with the proposal of setting up an Asean currency.

Fortunately, the idea did not carried through.

I believe it's not that it did not carry through. It's that the idea requires further thought and deliberation and requires all the less developed asean states to first catch up economically and be on a more or less equal footing before embarking on this AEU.
