Subject: Euro response

I would consider long hamza (ˆÊ‹Ê). There is no
American or Dutch pronunciation here.
The word Europe and European is pronounced
ÌÊ‹Ê»«and ÌÊ‹Ê»Ìin the Anglo-Saxon culture (United
Stated, England etc..  and ˆÊ‹Ê»« ˆÊ‹Ê»Ì in the Latin
culture ( Western Europe etc..

Arabs, traditionally go with the Latin pronunciation
ˆÊ‹Ê»«and  ˆÊ‹Ê»Ì
Nowadays, the Anglo-Saxon culture is prevailing
worldwide and the new generations in the Arab world
tend to adopt the American pronociation.
