Karel De Gucht - European Commissioner for Trade

Stephen Sackur talks to a member of the Brussels political elite, the EU Trade Commissioner Karel de Gucht.

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?
