Summary:

"My first question relates to the fact that both of you mentioned, rightly, that you were not accountable to this Parliament. So Mr. Regling you are accountable to the Eurogroup and the President of the Eurogroup is accountable to his [national] parliament. So it's strange that in Europe we have such a huge European problem [the third financial assistance programme for Greece] with no accountability to the European Parliament (Elisa Ferreira, cited in European Parliament, 2015)"-- Provided by publisher.
