Vi er i en situation, hvor vi har 11 % arbejdsløshed, 20 % ungdomsarbejdsløshed, en enorm offentlig gæld og millioner af mennesker, der lever i fattigdom. Medmindre verdens andre lande vil dele byrden med os, så bør vi beslutte, at vi ikke vil lade vores lande miste deres konkurrenceevne og øge fattigdommen i EU.
We are in a position where we have 11% unemployment, 20% youth unemployment, massive public debt and millions in poverty, and unless the other countries around the world are prepared to share the burden, then we should say we are not going to allow our countries to become uncompetitive and increase poverty within the European Union.
