Greece is not an easy country to do business in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Dealing with Greece's problems will be more difficult if Greece is not a member of the eurozone.
The culture of Greece is not the same as the culture of Germany, and to fuse them into a single unit is extremely difficult.
Greece has been, in many ways, a partially dysfunctional society. For example, the wealthy barely pay taxes... to an extent, that's true elsewhere, including the United States, but it's been pretty extreme in Greece.
Without Greece, it is not possible to preserve the integrity of the European phenomenon.
In the long term, Greece is an important market for us.
Our position in Europe is not negotiable. The Greek people will defend it by all means. But participation in the euro involves rules and obligations, which we must consistently meet. Greece belongs to Europe and Europe cannot be envisaged without Greece.
In ancient Greece, politics and the market were not decoupled.
Markets are saying pretty much what I'm saying too: that Greece is doing what it can, but that Greece is not going to be able to carry the weight of all of Europe and the other problems that Europe has.
I like organised things. I don't like the corruption and slowness of Greece.
What, ultimately, is Greece if it is not the people who live in this country? It's not the mountains and the plains.
