PRAGUE, Feb 8 (Reuters) - The Czech Republic's caretaker cabinet approved a plan on Monday to rein in the public sector deficit in the coming years so the country can adopt the euro by 2016 or 2017.
The government will submit the report, part of the European Union member's annual euro convergence programme, to Brussels.
The plan may have limited relevance, however, because the caretaker cabinet will be replaced by a government after a May general election and the new administration may decide to take a different convergence route.
