The National Euro Change-over Committee (NECC) has announced new measures to help the elderly receive the necessary training about the euro.

The information pack presented to the media on Wednesday at St Vincent De Paul includes an information booklet about products and services consumed on a regular basis, and stickers of the Maltese euro coins.

The information pack for the elderly was sponsored by VJ Salamone (Marketing) Ltd, importers and distributors of over 500 products. The company has also agreed not to increase its prices between October 2007 and March 2008 due to the introduction of the new currency.
