Europe urgently needs a success. The E.U. must prove that it is able to take action. |
Everything beyond our programme is not up for debate. |
Everything was always a battle -- a battle not to attract attention, a battle to be just a little better than all the others, |

For all those who are yelling - would you care to remember that 15 years ago this would never have been allowed. |
Future European construction depends very much on Franco-German relations, |
Germans have a choice and it is a stark one. We have to change course or we have to see more people added to the dole queues, more jobs exported, more misery. I think I can rely on them realising where their future lies come Sunday. |

Good new environmental technologies can be a creative imperative. |
