"Mr President, Mr Farage, because you quoted a non-political newspaper, namely a German publication, that reported me as saying that when things get serious, you need to lie, please allow me to offer you a quote using the language of the newspaper, which you quoted correctly, but which reported me quite incorrectly: In Brussels, addressing the Pan-European movement – you will be interested to know that these are people who believe in Europe and who need to hear from us because sometimes they start to experience doubts – I told my audience that in the old days, when I was just a little Luxembourg finance minister, we would be summoned to Brussels every two months to make the necessary upward and downward adjustments to the European monetary system. I then explained how if, as a finance minister, one was asked on a Friday afternoon, before the financial markets had closed, whether there was to be a meeting in Brussels on Saturday or Sunday to adjust the EMS, then one could not tell the truth. That is when I made a terrible mistake. My poor English meant that I used words that have prompted your supplementary question."@en1
