"Mr President, once again I stand here before a committee that is committed to the European Union, to ever closer union, and fails to accept that the European Union has failed and failed dismally. It has failed the youth of Europe, where currently unemployment is at an average of 23.3%. It has failed the youth of Greece, where unemployment for youth is 57.7%. There is an average unemployment across the eurozone of 16.8%.
This is the success of the euro according to friends on the other side of the Chamber. We have GNP and GDP falling year on year; productivity levels lower; the highest suicide rates that nations across Europe have ever known. There is poverty, people living in the streets. This is the Europe that you regard as a dream. This is the Europe that you think is a success.
Well, tell the people who are losing their children by leaving their countries that it is a success. Tell the people who are unemployed that it is a success. There is nothing that this Chamber nor you as MEPs, nor the Commission or the Council can do that will help these people except one thing. That is allowing the European Union to break up, to remove the euro, to make sure that countries can run themselves and control themselves once more. Wake up and recognise the euro is a failure."@en1
