Our Eurozone Partners Have Made

In The 20 Years Before Greece End Up With The Euro, Efforts To Improve Competitiveness Through Exchange Rate And Adjustments Resulted Only In Temporary Gains Of Competitiveness.

Our Eurozone Partners Have Made It Clear: The Choice Is Between Staying In Or Getting Out Of The Eurozone.

And Judging What Is Appropriate Or Not Appropriate For A Country, I Think It Is Important In Particular In Judging What Is The Appropriate Economic Policy Framework, One Should Take Into Account The Overall Political Environment And The Institutional Framework Within Which Economic Policy Operates.

Greece Could Default On Its Debts And Even Exit Currency Bloc If It Cannot Deliver Reforms.

I Take Office During The Most Difficult Moment In The Country's Recent History. The Country Can Be Saved - It's Up To Us. I Think It Is Obvious For Those Who Support This Government To Undertake The Commitment And Ensure That Our Country's Euro Membership Is Not Endangered.
