S obzirom na mjere koje je njegova zemlja uvela, Papandreou je u ponedjeljak izjavio da ona samo želi biti tretirana kao "ravnopravan partner" i biti u mogućnosti uzajmljivati novac na međunarodnim tržištima po stopama koje se nude drugim članicama EU i eurozone.
Given the measures his country has imposed, Papandreou said on Monday, it wants only to be treated as an "equal partner" and to be able to borrow money on the international markets at the rates offered to other EU and Eurozone members.
