"Mr President, my country, Greece, has many things in common with California. We have a wonderful climate, our land is our asset, our forests burned as have the forests in California, they have held Olympic Games, as have we, and we have ended up with the same problems as California. I wonder, if California had lending problems, would the central administration of the USA leave it at the mercy of speculators... It is the economy – yes, it is. I realise that. That is why I said what I said before. ... or would the central administration of the USA resolve its problem? Do we or do we not have a central administration in the European Union? Are we certain that Greece, which accounts for 2% of the European economy, has caused such a massive problem with the euro? Has it sawed through the cohesion of the euro and is it threatening the unity of the Union? It is clear, therefore, that we face a crash test of the strength of the European currency and, more importantly, of the intentions of the leaders of the European Union to defend it. If we look back, we can see what we have achieved (30 years ago, I was a young employee at the Ministry of Labour and was trained here, in Brussels, in the single European market). We have achieved the single European market. We have achieved the euro. I do not think that we have achieved anything else in common. That is why you also see me with the euro-sceptics. I trust that tomorrow, we shall prove that we really have achieved harmony and something in common."@en1
