Stephen Sackur talks to
Karel de Gucht. The blurb goes: "His job is to promote Europe's trade agenda, but who is listening when the EU itself is staring over an economic abyss?"
Of the potential failure of the euro, says de Gucht:
Maybe you don't, your population don't completely understand this but this, the European monetary union, it's not only about monetary affairs, economic affairs. It's a political project, you know. It would mean the end of the European Union. It would be the end of the political project of our era. There's no alternative to that so we'll sort it out, whatever it takes.
Compulsive viewing.
