But the Netherlands, which currently holds the EU presidency, has frequently called for a strict interpretation of the rules underpinning the euro and is likely to welcome the judgement»
Sempre achei que as leis que existem são para cumprir. Se não se gosta, mudam-se. Portugal sofreu para cumprir as metas do Pacto e os ricos safam-se? Não, acarretem as consequências.
