"Madam President, what is happening in Greece is not just a concern of those who are part of the euro area, but concerns the whole EU. It is therefore important that this difficult situation is dealt with in a responsible manner by the EU. Greece must do its part, live up to its promises and reform its policy. For me – someone who is keen to see Sweden join the euro area as quickly as possible – it is of the utmost importance that we in the EU resolve this difficult situation. It should, after all, be said that the euro has been incredibly successful in weathering the most severe financial crisis. Who would claim that 16 currencies would have been better than one strong currency? No one! Greece sneaked into the euro area by the back door, which is now showing us how important it is that the rules of admission are tough but fair. A well ordered economy is a prerequisite for growth and wealth, even for those outside the euro, and naturally, that applies just as much to those countries that are part of the euro area. Those talking about speculation should bear in mind that a well ordered economy and public finances form the basis for this."@en1
