member that in your view can actually say that europe has been good for it no i don't think so as a northern states did not to profit from the euro but it didn't. harm them eyes up to no maybe the two for the future. southern states including france. profited first from the credit boom which went on to. two thousand and five and they're now there are being damaged by the rising. call of a common balanced if it's. by rising income depth and. fall in course rates and. which which

includes. cut down on the public expenditure and. improve the competitiveness by. lowering the prices and close. to even even more harm saw they have before the. a long and complicated world so what's your recipe do you think that greece or arlen should accept the union or as some economists suggest the germination show delayed than exit the euro zone itself we have a not know their choice but to. stick to the agreement to the must be treaty. but we. should insist that all members of the rural area. all saw the stick to

the treaty and this means the north rather be large and this means that the. e c b. has to return. to it. to its regular ball this is to the surprise economies with the sufficient supply of money but and to. prevent any rise of inflation right now is the. if we tell you this is a means of the monetary policy. fine and calling public sector are definitely. going to counterfeit it. obvious and states by the way of printing money and saying this is

a wrong cause because for me in the long run more information essential what you are suggesting is that germany should put forward an ultimatum to because those who . pay for the property. we. simply stop the building of the other members of the single currency union. and to this would mean that. they would have to have to change their ways of dealing with the economy or that they would have to leave as a union you've been together through some good times and now the tables have turned so do you think it's ok to abandon somebody you made strong commitment to at the

time of crisis while the. monetary union was based on the treaty of mass three treaty and all of that i'm saying is that we have to stick have to start again to stick to the treaty and to the regulations of this to keep because this is the only way that. the currency. union can work. and if others choose not to stick to the treaty or if. common currency proves to be too strong for them then it is their decision to leave the currency union this is not not a perversion of. abandoning. any body. but it

is the question of making the currency union work angela merkel said that if europe collapses europe will collapse. what shape do you think these collapse may take are we talking about a full blown catastrophe or just some sort of political divorce she said. while cord and or will power so best translation of their child would be is to fail so she says if the euro feeds the europe we have failed and this is the political threat and in the end it is a means. to get people and political parties and their turn over. the public to

agree to the kind of policy but. one has to ask what that means. that what is europe. to europe is first and foremost. a continent which stretches from. to who thought the rule is much more than a currency union. and in addition. to europe is a cultural idea and it kids as far as their european union is concerned it. it is the economic union. and nothing of this does fail. to take your fields because.

of the success story of your pin community was written between nineteen forty five and nine hundred ninety nine. but i don't have a century of piece of gross of the going employment of the social security and so on. the nothing which. which was created in the necessitated common single. and. in or to. try to preserve these the values and these achievers. the common currency it is not necessary if you. can have me it is maybe some saying the

nice to have but it is definitely not the must have one of the reasons why your book became such a controversy is because you're invoking the holocaust which you believe is behind germany's guilt complex that also one of the reasons why so dedicated to the unification of europe i want to ask you how big of a role do you think politics history other emotional factors that playing in. making fiscal decisions are those decisions based on arithmetics or more or less in history books it's my concern that. we. have already taken and to continue to enforce no normal coolly and financially or on decisions which are to the disadvantage

of virtually all members of the of the monetary union because. we. feel the buy or past even within europe different people have different work ethics they have different saving and spending habits how big a factor culture or mentality is when it comes to. financial and fiscal policies this one called need different systems and that what was the great mistake. in the. organization. and i was in the concept of the currency union was that we

applied to hold the maastricht treaty and. the regulations which were. at liquid accordance with the culture of the netherlands the culture of austria or germany or of the northern states but it did not. fit. into the culture of spain italy of france. culture of the south. is one. which. differently with conflicts. and so it needs more inflation to walk properly doctors that's in the thank you for a time thank you.
