– (IT) Mr President, first of all I would like to clarify Mr Abitbol’s speech a little: Mr Berlusconi has never said that the euro is blocking the economy, but he has said something else, which is that the introduction of the euro has led to bursts of speculation, which definitely must be eliminated.
- (IT) Monsieur le Président, je tiens tout d’abord à clarifier un peu les propos de M. Abitbol: M. Berlusconi n’a jamais dit que l’euro bloquait l’économie, mais il a dit autre chose, il a dit que l’introduction de l’euro a provoqué des élans de spéculation auxquels il faut absolument mettre un terme.
