"Mr President, Mr Barroso, everyone who spoke accepts that we are facing a crisis not just in Greece, but also in the euro area. I would add that this is the first time we have experienced such crazy times since the establishment of the European Union.
First example: you, the governments, all the institutions of the European Union have accused the credit rating agencies, the people speculating and attacking the euro area; at the same time, however, you have not taken any measures to control them and to make them proper ‘arbitrators’.
Second example: Commissioner Oettinger has stated that foreign civil servants should go and control the finances of over-indebted countries, obviously considering that a country in need of solidarity should concede sovereign rights.
Third example: the same Commissioner has called for the flags of over-indebted countries to be flown at half mast, thereby rubbing salt into the wound when he should be remedying the insults which have been levied against the countries in the South.
Wherefore I ask you, Mr Barroso, what do you have to say about your Commissioner making such statements? What is the European Union doing to defend the fundamental rights of workers in the European Union?"@en1
