I am calling on the Minister for Finance to clarify why the finance Ministers were prepared to put this pressure on Cyprus. I want to recall and recognise the contribution of our Government at that time to saving the small savers of this country, because they were not prepared, like the Cypriot Government, to grab their savings. We should show solidarity with and support the people of Cyprus at this difficult time. I hope the Minister for Finance will do this too.
