"Mr President, we need 40 million jobs in Europe. In Greece alone, we need one million. Can we promise them? We cannot promise them. Europe cannot safeguard these jobs. 10% of the active population will live below the poverty line. They will live on unemployment benefits. We have no energy of our own. Gas from Russia, oil from the Middle East; energy which will constantly increase in price as a result of excess demand from China and India. We have a very strong currency which prohibits exports; look at the exports the cheap dollar is giving the United States of America. With the very tight Maastricht indicators, the indicators prosper and the people suffer. That is the reality. Chinese products are constantly flooding the market and will flood it more and more. You cannot find as much as a doll which is manufactured in a European factory. Even they are Chinese. The factories of Europe are going to third countries and wages of course are going with them. Farmers are suffering. Cotton and tobacco in Greece have been secured in warehouses. We need to change the rota; otherwise European citizens will not be able to survive."@en1
