But I agree, that is by far the easiest solution.  Greek holidays for all funded by the German Government!  Greek retirement homes for German retirees funded by the German Government - cheaper than keeping retirees in Germany - so it can actually be sold as a thrifty policy. A European health care policy where equivalent  treatment is provided in country of residence not country of origin.  (Already applies to emergency healthcare interventions, but extended to specialist and after-care).  Allows the Greek health care industry to modernise and expand funded by the German taxpayer.

It doesn't take much imagination to make this happen, and all can be sold as a net benefit to Germans as well.
