lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I have a question for Commissioner Rehn. How can it be, Mr Rehn, that the Eurogroup, chaired by Mr Juncker, could hold a summit without the Dutch Finance Minister present? How can that be? It is an outright scandal that the Netherlands, as one of the biggest contributors to all the rescue packages, was not even invited to the meeting I refer to. Mr Rehn, could you give me an assurance at this point that you will ensure that this never happens again? I have to tell the House that Greece will either have to leave the euro or restructure its debts. That is an inevitable reality – the question is ‘when?’ I believe, and I fear that that will happen when all the guarantees and all the money has been paid out to Greece. This is the swindle of the century! Mr Rehn, can you give me a guarantee now that the scenario whereby Greece first refinances its debts to the maximum degree with Dutch taxpayers’ money and then leaves the euro and cancels its debts is a scenario that will not occur? We cannot trust these Greeks, the Greek politicians who, together with the European Commission, swindled their way into the euro with inaccurate figures and who now seem to be primarily occupied with increasing their own salaries. These are politicians that we can never trust, so, Mr Rehn, how are you going to guarantee that Dutch taxpayers are not going to be terribly swindled once again?"@en1
