lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to thank the President of the Commission Mr Barroso, for his announcement about the resumption of growth and the creation of jobs in Greece. My country has made huge strides to date with the help of its partners. The deficit has been slashed and the situation is stabilising. Structural changes are proceeding. Obviously, public sector spending needs to be cut still further, so that excessive direct and indirect taxation can be restricted and growth can start. We Greek New Democracy MEPs in the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) pointed out the risk inherent in unilateral austerity very early on. Both we and our chair, Mr Samaras, pointed out that an austerity programme needed to be accompanied by a growth programme. Today, everyone subscribes to this truth. Some people here in this Chamber are calling for Greece to leave the euro area. That is a great pity. The Greek people wish to remain closely associated with Europe and the euro. We consider that it is only by all pulling together that we can deal with a crisis that has become systemic. The same applies to every country in crisis. What we have built together, we must maintain together, in order to safeguard our joint endeavour. We must all work to combat unemployment and fight for a new period of prosperity. No country can manage that on its own. The President of the Commission knows that better than anyone. I wish to point out, further to the comments made by the Chair of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, Mr Verhofstadt, that things are not exactly in keeping with what he said: the financing he spoke of was provided in previous years and Parliament simply regulated repayment to the banks. I do not think that the Greek parties are prepared to basically spend, in these difficult times, while the people are suffering from the sacrifices they are making."@en1
