MEPs hope the sagging currency can be saved by silicone implants, buttock lift surgery or simply a snazzy new hairdo.
EU President Herman Van Rompuy said: “We're not far past ten years since Euro notes and coins went into circulation on January 1, 2002.
“If we can make the euro ten years younger, it will be virtually a brand new currency again, without all the problems it's experienced in the past year or so.”
Although some critics have branded the move a gimmick, Mr Van Rompuy said he had “every faith” in the 10 Years Younger team.
He said: “They have worked wonders in bringing back to life many celebrities who have died since 2002, and our currency isn't dead, merely dying.”
The show's presenter Myleene Klass told The Ugly Truth: “We'll be pampering the currency rotten so that by the time we're finished with it, traders all around the world will go weak at the knees at the sight of a single €10 note.”
Meanwhile, BBC journalists have admitted to sneaking in rude words to liven up their reports on the eurozone crisis.
One journalist admitted: "Quite frankly, we know that people just switch off as soon as they realise we're talking about another chuffing bailout for Greece, so we've all been chucking in a bit of sauce to keep the tedium at bay.
"I managed to get the word 'cottaging' three times into a story about the Irish referendum on whether to accept tough new EU budget constraints.
"A colleague of mine has also managed to shoehorn in the words felch, milf, foreplay, dominatrix, anal beads and danger wank into a report on rising unemployment in Spain.
"We've had no complaints so far," he added.
