THE European Union Commission should make public its advertising campaign to sell the euro before the start of spring, European Monetary Affairs Commissioner Mr Yves Thibault de Silguy said.

"We will put it on the table I hope before the start of spring," Mr De Silguy said at the World Economic Forum's 1996 annual meeting.
