More quotes by Angela Merkel
Budget consolidation and economic growth are two sides of the same coin.
Angela Merkel
An institution like Guantanamo in its present form cannot and must not exist in the long term. We must find different ways of dealing with prisoners. As far as I'm concerned there's no question about that.
Angela Merkel
If you've worked together with somebody very well, leave-taking is very difficult. But we are all politicians. We all know that democracy lives off change. So, in the United States of America, the Constitution has very clear stipulations on this. It's a tough rule. Eight years and that's it, out goes the president and a new one comes in.
Angela Merkel
Europe can only hold together and stand together, which is very important in times of migration challenges, terrorism challenges, if each country takes responsibility for itself.
Angela Merkel
The land of unlimited opportunity was for me, for a long time, impossible to reach. The wall, barbed wire and the order to shoot at those who tried to leave limited my access to the free world.
Angela Merkel
We have [unfriendly policies] here in Europe, too. We have them here in Germany, too. And to take up where the president left off, digitization is in a way a disruptive force, a disruptive technological force that brings about deep-seated change, transformation of a society.
Angela Merkel
It's not five minutes to midnight. It's five minutes after midnight.
Angela Merkel
Personally, I think that for example the chemical directive in its present form does too much damage to the chemical industry - especially the medium sized businesses - and will hurt our worldwide competitiveness.
Angela Merkel
Whoever decides to dedicate their life to politics knows that earning money isn't the top priority.
Angela Merkel
I am not here for women only, but also for women.
Angela Merkel
No bank should be allowed to become so big that it can blackmail governments.
Angela Merkel
If I run a time-limited test program, I'll never discover whether markets with additional employment truly exist. A solution in the low-wage sector cannot be a limited special program.
Angela Merkel
It is a fact that, if I single out Germany, our rate of growth is too low and we have very high unemployment.
Angela Merkel
We have shared those values, we continue to share those values and obviously, we will continue to cooperate with the new administration [of the U.S].
Angela Merkel
It is nonsense to say that Germans are unable to change.
Angela Merkel
The markets want to force us to do certain things. That we won't do. Politicians have to make sure that we're unassailable, that we can make policy for the people.
Angela Merkel
We can't constantly explain to our voters that taxpayers have to be on the hook for certain risks, rather than those who make a lot of money taking those risks.
Angela Merkel
The [Barack Obama] administration is sharing its knowledge, its expertise with the incoming administration. And this, to us, is a sign of encouragement, to continue the good cooperation that we have built between the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany that is in our mutual interest.
Angela Merkel
We're saying this to both countries: We want a two-state solution. We want a Jewish state of Israel and alongside an independent Palestinian state. Unilateral measures are not helping at all to bring about this cause, and we agree that we wish to cooperate very closely on this, because as we both say, time is of the essence.
Angela Merkel
So Europe needs to be competitive and we also need to be competitive if we wish to remain an interesting economic partner for the United States. This has to be done on the basis of strength, of competitiveness.
Angela Merkel
