"Mr President, all these packages are basically dead letters unless we relax the Maastricht indicators. The Maastricht indicators are so suffocating, it is as if we were giving a glass of water to a person whose neck we have put in a noose.
My country is the only country in Europe which is under surveillance, something like a monetary fund. This means that we cannot cofinance the packages in order to get them. We failed to get one-third of the third package, with the consequence that we are selling assets, property and corporations so that we can exist as a state. Nor shall we be able to get money from the fourth package, because we are under this surveillance.
Let us relax the Maastricht indicators at long last, so that we can take up the appropriations, so that we can be active as citizens and as states. It is a gift that is no gift. At the moment, the sums we failed to get from the third package are equal to half the money which my country spends on education and health.
Improve our standard of living for pity's sake!"@en1
