Stephen Sackur talks to a member of the Brussels political elite, the EU Trade Commissioner Karel de Gucht.
His job is to promote Europe's trade agenda around the world - but who is listening when the EU itself is staring over an economic abyss?
Europe's politicians resemble the cast of a third rate disaster movie... trapped in a Eurozone crisis from which there is no obvious means of escape.
Can the continent's leaders stay calm or will rising panic consume them?
