The reality is that the crisis was not born in Europe, but the fact is that because we were not prepared, because the Euro-area had not yet the instruments, we were very much affected by it – not only in financial terms, in economic terms, in social terms and in political terms.
Kuna euroalal ei olnud veel vajalikke vahendeid, mõjutas kriis meid tugevalt – mitte ainult finantsilises ja majanduslikus mõttes, vaid ka sotsiaalses ja poliitilises mõttes.
