lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as I happen to come from Finland, it may be good to say a few words about the mood in my home country, as it has influenced the discussion with regard to Europe. As many of you are well aware, Finland has demanded collateral in return for participating in the support package for Greece, something that is problematic from both an economic and a political point of view. I would like to say straight away that I personally do not support the government’s demand for this collateral, as I believe that it is unreasonable in relation to what other euro area States are doing. At the same time, it may be a good idea to consider what is behind this demand. What it actually boils down to is the fact that there is a lack of confidence and trust in the measures that we, in particular the Council and the Commission, have jointly taken to solve the crisis. This lack of confidence is not just found in the Finnish Parliament; it is also present among the public at large, which is something that we need to deal with. Unfortunately, I have to say that, in this respect, I also share the opinion of the people. It is sadly the case that, as a politician, I recognise that it is political will that is needed in order to deal with this crisis, but, as an economist, I have to say that the measures that have been taken up to now in order to rescue Greece, among other things, are unfortunately wholly inadequate. Last but not least, I would like to say that, in this debate, it could easily be the case that Germany, Finland and other countries are held to account for us not managing to deal with the crisis now. It is certainly the case that the eurosceptic mood is problematic, but we must not forget that this is not the crux of the problem. The problem is that certain euro area States have been living above their means for years. Let us not forget that that is the fundamental problem."@en1
