This study offers from the beginning a survey about the institutional construction in the pre- and post-adhesion stages to European Economic and Monetary Union, about the exchange rate mechanism applied by the different countries and about convergence criteria. Then, it analyses how different Central and Eastern European countries realise the convergence criteria corresponding Treaty of Maastricht. The study emphasizes a debating subject in economic literature, subject found too on policy-makers agenda; the author searches some answers to important problems as: shortening the period to adoptee euro, the stability of the exchange rate versus lessening inflation rate and Balassa-Samuelson effect, the exchange rates and exchange rate deviation indices, the equilibrium of the exchange rate, the trend to appreciation of exchange rates in Central and Eastern European Countries.
