Having failed to deal with the root cause of the disease in 1990, which is what Jacques Delors and his gang refused to do so as not to interrupt the triumphant march, firstly towards the single market and then towards the euro, we have since adopted numerous financial and technical stop-gap measures to ward off the never-ending effects of what has been a disaster in health, trade and financial terms.
Faute d'avoir voulu traiter la maladie à la racine en 1990, ce que Jacques Delors et ses hommes se sont refusés à faire pour ne pas gêner la marche glorieuse vers le marché unique d'abord, et l'euro ensuite, on ne cesse depuis de multiplier les palliatifs financiers et techniques pour parer aux effets sans fin de la catastrophe sanitaire, commerciale et financière notamment.
