lpv:spoken text	"Actually, the questions are rather similar and here I have to emphasise that in the case of Greece, we had a huge deficit which needed to be addressed. We all know that, in addressing the deficit, there are no miracle solutions. The Member State has either to reduce expenditure, increase taxes or both in order to consolidate its fiscal position. The Commission’s attitude to this is very clear: that it is the Member State which has to choose the measures to address the shortfall. Greece chose a mixture of measures on both the expenditure side and the revenue side. The Commission cannot dictate to the Member States what specific taxes they can increase or reduce. It is the Member State which decides on this matter. So far, the Greek programme is functioning well and I believe that the Greek authorities will take all necessary future measures to fix their fiscal position."@en1
