Davos Annual Meeting 2010 - Rethinking the Eurozone

[Yarsh52]

I though this said Davros Annual Meeting...

[deshaebeasley]

hmm.. the polish president who was strongly against the Euro couldnt make it for some reason... because of "snow" apparently he has a lot of transportation problems... of course devaluing your currency isnt good particularly but it matches it closer to gold which can tell the market better which is the reason poland was the only country to not have a recession in europe... I smell something fishy with the death of the polish president now with komoroski (pro euro) getting elected.

[MaximusProteus]

@deshaebeasley Actually, they talk prof. Kaczyński couldn`t make it just like a number of other guests, so i doubt that was intended.

Yes... it smells very fishy, especially if almost immediatelly Kremlin and the other medias begun a typical campaign of slanders to accuse President of pressuring the pilots.

As for the adoption of €, i`m afraid we have no choice since it was signed with acession treaty, so the only question is 'when' to do it....

@MaximusProteus

The UK has an opt-out of the need to accept the euro, other countries like Sweden (which hasn't adopted the euro either) don't have that 'special treatman'. So countries like Sweden and every other country who joined in 2004 and will join in the future will at a time need to sign up to the euro,the UK on the other hand not allthough things can change. The UK have to decide where it stands. It can not accept only the benefits of being in the euro while refusing the disadvantages

[alberta009]

well.. the Central bank of Spain is very hard system, closed and dificult to change..but we are in recesion and it was to the case of supervision or regulation, the banks had bailout from the central treasure.. so hope EU should not have to rescue us.. and you are right ...Mr.President

[alberta009]

well....looks like we are in recesion Mr. President.. and we were in January also.. ..

[kindabusy1]

Could we just get Spain and Greece out of EU or at least Euro. These lazy nations just waste our money and don't understand anything about book keping. Idiots.

[tinotrivino]

@kindabusy1 dumbass, spain is one of the pilars idiot!!!!!

[Europeangirl1]

@kindabusy1 I disagree . Be busy thinking about what u talking about sweetie.

[Fizmoo]

@kindabusy1

Or you just don't understand anything about this crisis. First, in number of working hours, the greeks work more then almost every other country in the eurozone. Secondly, the reason why Greece is in trouble is because they could get cheap credit, at around 4% till a few years ago. Now, they have to pay 9% on their debt. Now imagine your country having to pay more then double their yearly interests on their debt, every country would get into trouble.

[Cinemaguy2007]

They never should have created a 'Eurozone' with one currency for all. Too many unbalances!

[SanctusVicentiusM]

pero que verguenza ajena, como pueden caber en España tantos subnormales capaz de votar a este completo imbécil y retrasado mental, que no sabe ni atarse el cordón de los zapatos, que país más lamentable es España

[sinclair61]

Pathetic, these people want to RUN your life, they cant even connect two cables together.

[rr93455]

@sinclair61 this epitomizes why the internet revolution is so effective, all these dinosaurs have no idea how technology works

[tanelim]

What sort of lousy translation system is this. Delayed the whole program. :(

[vnsdura]

Pour Zapatero, everybody blamming him for not speaking english, my question is.. does the prime minister of UK speak other language rather than english..(spanish, french, german, italian...)? Why should Zapatero learn other languages while other prime ministers dont? Zapatero is a good prime minister and didnt need the english to become a good one, just leave him alone.. I wonder how many of you, who criticize him, speak more than your mother tongues....

[GeneticAsymmetry]

The P.M. of UK doesn't have too speak other language(s) since english is a universal language...But...do you know if he does speak say chinese????? :P

[101maxplayer]

wow 1 hour

[chusyman]

Zapatero, better known as Zapathetic, and also as ZetaParo (Paro=unemployement)

Please World, give Spain a hand and throw the bomb over ZP`s head!!!!!!!!!!

[eduardserra]

I bet it was all a set-up (the translation thingy). I wouldn't share even the lift with this nasty Davos people!

pd: Like it or not, Sarkozy and Merkel speak their own languages when they go abroad... why should Zapatero be different?

[shussey100]

A leader today should be speaking English.

[saladinero]

deberia sentar a la interprete en su regazo, y no se hubiera aburrido tanto,.

[eomer1981]

en español tampoco tiene mucho que aportar... que ejemplo...

[Mareks1188]

i feel bad for zatler

[oscarunico]

Thats... thats pathetic... im ashamed of my president, ZP... How it can be possible that a Prime Minister doesnt know english?

[mexicalgarian1979]

es verdad pero a mi me gusta que hable en castellano...el espanol es hoy despues del ingles la lengua mas importante del mundo y me gusta que los jefes de estado de paises hispanos lo hablen para que se refuerce la expansion y globalizacion de nuestra lengua..mi presidente Felipe Calderon hablo en los 2 idiomas ..pero estoy de acuerdo que un jefe de estado debe hablar ingles

[KevinJKtheman]

Estoy de acuerdo con usted, un poco, sin embargo me siento en este día de "globalización", un jefe de Estado, particularmente en Europa, debería ser tri lingual, que es el Inglés, español y francés

[eduardserra]

What is pathetic is that an organization as huge as this one hadn't had the systems checked BEFORE starting. Por eso pienso que estaba claramente preparado para dar mala imagen. Por cierto, our PM would "know" English if he was a linguist or a philologist. Maybe you wanted to say "doesn't speak"?

Your English looked like Engrish to me...
