More quotes by Jean-Claude Juncker
Anyone who believes that the eternal question of war and peace in Europe is no longer there risks being deeply mistaken.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I haven't yet given everything: I am still full of energy. But I wanted to make it clear that I don't have to make unwarranted concessions to national governments or to parliament. I want to avoid the impression that I am doing things just to ensure that I am re-elected. That's not the case. I have had my career.
Jean-Claude Juncker
My friendship with Martin [Schulz], by contrast, is completely different in that it goes far beyond politics.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Now people are criticizing Europe, the European Commission, Juncker and the whole lot because the distribution of refugees didn't succeed immediately. But you also have to recognize that close to 20,000 refugees have already been redistributed. There are only a few member states that do not want to take part.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I put my money on Brexit. The EU Financial Stability Commissioner, Jonathan Hill from Britain, still owes me a pound.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Germany will continue to play a central - perhaps even a more important - role in the European Union. I think that we will all miss the pragmatic approach of the British, however, particularly in those long nights of negotiation.
Jean-Claude Juncker
When the going gets tough, you have to lie.
Jean-Claude Juncker
The good thing about the European Union is that the joint project ultimately benefits all Member States and not just a few.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Decisions can only be reached in Europe if France and Germany agree.
Jean-Claude Juncker

Jean-Claude Juncker
For my generation, the monetary union has always been about forging peace.
Jean-Claude Juncker
The will of the British people must now be put into effect as quickly as possible. Under Article 50 of the EU Treaty the UK must leave the European Union within two years at the latest.
Jean-Claude Juncker
In politics, there are different categories of friendship. My friendship with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, for example .
Jean-Claude Juncker
We can't completely rely on the aberrations of history to explain today's European necessities. Future-related issues are no less pressing.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Between now and then, after 43 years of European marriage, the whole body of legislation will therefore have to be disentangled. That entails a whole range of specific and very complex questions: what will be the future legal status of the millions of EU citizens in the UK and the millions of Britons on the continent?
Jean-Claude Juncker
I am for it - not to make a threat, but to make clear that decisions that have been made are applicable law, even if you have voted against it. At issue here is European solidarity, which cannot be a one-way street. The traffic has to move in both directions.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I'm always quite amazed that people in Europe become unnerved when two institutions or two people have different views.
Jean-Claude Juncker
It is not more Europe or less Europe that we need. We need a better Europe.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I'm not deaf and the Commission isn't operating in a parallel world of legal texts.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I assumed office to bring the EU to a point from which there is no going back. Instead, I am having to unwind the EU to a certain extent.
