"Mr President, to answer your second question, obviously, the level of unemployment in Greece is of concern to me, as it also is in some other countries.
The overall average unemployment rate in Europe, which stands at 10%, is not a level that we should ever have to accept. It is a million miles from full employment. According to the Treaty, one of the objectives of the European Union is to ensure full employment in Europe. Obviously, this is not the case at the present time.
For the deteriorating unemployment situation in Greece, I blame the fact that the recession is greater and deeper there than what the Troika estimated last time round when it released the fifth tranche to Greece.
I am not a member of the Troika and am therefore not responsible for its movements. I believe, however, that the Troika left Athens because there were difficulties reaching an agreement between what the Troika thought Greece had to do and what the Greek Government was willing to do. Since then, the gap in their viewpoints has narrowed. My understanding is that the Troika will be back in Athens tomorrow or the day after."@en1
