"The measures proposed to halt the eurozone crisis are suitable for situations like announcing a quarantine during a flu epidemic. Instead of finally asking governments to take responsibility for managing their own economies, we are proposing more centralisation. In other words, we want to take more and more responsibility away from the governments of the Member States. First we want to set tax and deficit levels, then we want to define individual expenditure items until in the end our governments will be nothing more than disengaged departments of the central administration in Brussels. At the end of the day, we would not have to think up new rules if we finally started to abide by the ones we already have. The criteria for joining the eurozone may be excessively simple, but at least it means they are clear. Let us finally start living by them. If a country is unable to abide by the undertakings it made when it joined the eurozone, it should leave. As a doctor I know that the greater the threat of a particular disease, the more important it is to work together with those affected by it. Constantly trying out new, untested procedures leads to mistrust among the people threatened by infection. Let us not think up further solutions before we have heard the people and national governments. Today these people are asking us how things have come to this. Let us be frank with them and the solution will emerge for us all to see."@en1
