potential of Greece leaving the euro.
Witter told Automobilwoche

“We clearly expect that the euro will
continue,” said Witter. “Whether or not all current member states
will stick with it is an open question.
“If Greece were to quit, this would not
necessarily be the end of the euro… What, unfortunately, no-one can
reliably gauge are the effects and the speculation on consequences
that would follow from such a step.”
