Hague says euro ‘burning building with no exits’
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said the euro is "a burning building with no exits" for some of the countries which adopted the currency, BBC said.
Mr Hague first used the expression when he was Conservative leader in 1998 - and said in an interview with the Spectator he had been proved right.
European Commission President Manuel Barroso said the EU faces "its greatest challenge" in tackling Greek debt.
Mr Hague's interview was published after Mr Barroso gave a speech appealing for patience over the Greek debt crisis. He said Greece would remain within the eurozone and it was possible and necessary to overcome the "greatest challenge our union has known."
