 (AGI) - Rome - "If Greece abandons the Euro, it will then leave the EU as well". 

This is what the President of EU Parliament said in an interview with Italy's Radio Radicale. 

He added: "No counties can leave the Euro area unless they leave the European Union as well. 

I do not understand why people talk so much about Greece being forced to leave the Euro area. 

I think that if Greece gives up the Euro, it will then quit the Europen Union". 

As to next sunday's election in Greece and the likelihood of parties opposing the Eu-Imf-Ecb memorandum gaining ground, 

Shultz pointed out that "In politics you must first of all think about your country and then to your party's interests. 

 I hope political parties in Greece will be mindful of this".
