Here's the text of Merkel's comment to The SUNY Meus...


"at this time the EU should not be led by a weak, blind country. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king - Germany to best suited to lead, guide and shepherd the EU out of these troubling times (judging by our domestic political and economic situation and our position within the EU. We hope that the whole membership will rally with us and that member states will all work together with us to solve our common crisises. I and my delegation will outline our vision on the particular proposals covered in the course of the conference in the many meetings. We must consolidate the EU for the good of all of us and Germany is offering to lead the process."
