Of the countries that were eligible to join the first wave in 1999, Denmark decided in a referendum to not join. Sweden is obligated to join because it joined the EU after the Maastrict treaty but deliberately avoids the convergence criteria. The UK is not obligated to join and the current UK government seems to have no plans for a referendum. Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus have since joined the Euro and the other 14 EU countries are in various stages of convergence.
