lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Rehn and Mr Trichet were quite right to talk about the situation today. The Greek position in the euro area is very shaky and, as far as I can see, the answer lies with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These days, the IMF is the right organisation to help Greece out of the crisis. If that does not work, then we need to be decisive and cut the Gordian knot. Countries that are not playing by the rules of the euro area must leave the game. Mr President, let us try and learn from this situation. When it joined the euro, Greece was as unpredictable as the Oracle at Delphi. The figures it submitted were unclear and unreliable. It is not right for the Greek Government to keep on insisting that other States in the euro provide the solution because they were supposedly partly responsible for the current crisis in Greece. That is turning the world on its head. Anyone who submits unsound figures cannot point accusing fingers at anybody else. Allow me, therefore, to ask Mr Trichet and Mr Rehn a specific question: were you aware of the fact that the figures Greece submitted when joining the Euro area were inaccurate and incomplete? If not, should you not have known that? I hope you can give me a straight answer to that question."@en1
