"Mr President, when there is a crisis the psychological reaction is either to curl up in a ball, blame others, look for enemies or try to find solutions. Europe is now witnessing this three­way approach: on the one hand, nationalism and protectionism are on the rise in many countries; on the other, new solutions are being sought, as is the case with the Commission. We have to appreciate them dearly. The stronger the political system is in the European Union and at national level, the better we can tame market forces. Otherwise, it will go badly. I think there is one thing we could stop doing, and that is ridiculing Greece. The Greek nation, Prime Minister and politicians now deserve our respect, since they are taking some very difficult decisions. As Mr Schmidt said, Finland and Sweden were Greece in the early 1990s. We had to take decisions that were just as hard, but we succeeded."@en1
