"Madam President, I would like to thank Mr Trichet and Mr Rehn very much for their absolutely excellent work in these turbulent times. I have a very specific question for you both. Back in my country, which does not belong to the euro area, there is currently a discussion taking place along these lines: ‘This demonstrates precisely what we said when voting against the euro in 2001. It shows that we were right – the euro cannot work’.
This is, of course, an erroneous claim. I will therefore ask you two gentlemen a question. I believe that it is a key question and a key responsibility for the two of you to explain why Europe and the euro area have ended up in these difficulties. Is it because the euro area and the common currency have problems? Or is it because we have a number of politicians in the individual countries, in other words, in countries such as Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Greece, who have not actually done their job? Gentlemen, you need to explain this. Otherwise, I will never be able to explain it back home in my country."@en1
