SHOWS: BERLIN, GERMANY (JUNE 15, 2015) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF EU PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT MARTIN SCHULZ STANDING IN LOBBY OF BERLIN’S “WILLY BRANDT HAUS,” THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATS (SPD) PARTY HEADQUARTERS 2. (SOUNDBITE) (German) EU PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT, MARTIN SCHULZ, SAYING: “I hope there will be an agreement. Actually, I am still convinced that there will be an agreement because there has to be an agreement. The government in Athens does not understand that it is putting its people into a very difficult situation and if they don’t accept the compromise offers which are now on the table — the bill so far has been paid by ordinary people — I don’t understand how a government which is calling itself a leftist government did not take the money from equity owners a long time ago.” 3. SPOTLIGHT 4. (SOUNDBITE) (German) EU PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT, MARTIN SCHULZ, SAYING: “We fully understand the Greek government’s concerns about raising the value added tax or the medical sector or raising energy fees or lowering pensions. But I have no sympathy for their refusal to reform the pension structure, which is necessary. But on the European side, we are definitely willing to discuss these things with the Greeks if there is alternative funding, for example the reduction of the military budget instead of raising the value added tax or for medical products. I fully support that. We can talk about that, that’s clear. But the government needs to finally present reliable. I think Mr. Varoufakis should not tour Europe to deliver big speeches but rather do his homework in Athens.” 3. SPD CUBE 5. (SOUNDBITE) (German) EU PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT, MARTIN SCHULZ, SAYING: “They (the negotiations) were interrupted because there was no negotiable offer from the Greeks on the table. There is a range of propositions which especially the president of the Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker made which surprisingly, Greece so far did not react to. If they want to react , the talks will resume immediately.” 6. SPD LOGO 7. (SOUNDBITE) (German) EU PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT, MARTIN SCHULZ, SAYING: “The propositions we need are: how can the financing of means needed in the short-term be secured? How can the debt be serviced in the long term and what can be done in the short term to create growth and employment in the country? Those are the things which we will need to discuss this coming Thursday. We have been discussing them for months.” 8. SPD CUBE 9. (SOUNDBITE) (German) EU PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT, MARTIN SCHULZ, SAYING: “I think we need to discuss with the Greek government that it’s not important to be right in one’s own party. It’s important that the people don’t suffer and the leaders in Athens should thoroughly think about that.” 10. DETAIL OF WILLY BRANDT STATUE 11. (SOUNDBITE) (German) EU PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT, MARTIN SCHULZ, SAYING: “I think we must do everything we can to avoid it (Grexit). If it can’t be avoided I think above all the Greeks will pay a high price because the country will fall into poverty within just a few weeks, a poverty much ore dramatic than the one they are experiencing today. But the damages for the European economy are incalculable.” 12. DETAIL OF WILLY BRANDT STATUE 13. WIDE OF SCHULZ BEING INTERVIEWED ENDS
