More quotes by Jean-Claude Juncker
I have another explanation [of Brexit]: In its 43 years of EU membership, Britain has never been able to decide whether it wants to fully or only partially belong to the EU.
Jean-Claude Juncker
During our religious instruction in school, we always asked: How can one prove the existence of God? And I have learned that the Catholic Church, which is never at a loss for an answer when it comes to existential questions, responds as follows: This question simply does not arise.
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
I'm always quite amazed that people in Europe become unnerved when two institutions or two people have different views.
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
If someone complains about Europe from Monday to Saturday then nobody is going to believe him on Sunday when he says he is a convinced European.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I like Macron a lot and I very much welcome him - particularly the fact that he made Europe one of the main topics of the election debate.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Europe is a democracy and differences of opinion are part of it.
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
But anyone who believes that the eternal issue of war and peace in Europe has been permanently laid to rest could be making a monumental error. The demons haven't been banished they are merely sleeping, as the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo have shown us.
Jean-Claude Juncker
My friendship with Martin [Schulz], by contrast, is completely different in that it goes far beyond politics.
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 prefer to concentrate on my task of leading Europe to the success that our citizens expect. We have to look forwards now because what is at stake is what makes Europe Europe.
Jean-Claude Juncker
It's important to recognize that we in Europe will either succeed together or fail together.
Jean-Claude Juncker
It is not more Europe or less Europe that we need. We need a better Europe.
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
As a human being I am personally saddened, as I have a great deal of respect for the large number of British colleagues I have worked with over the years. That is why I personally invested countless hours, days and nights, in negotiating a fair deal for the United Kingdom.
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.
Jean-Claude Juncker
There is a distorted perception of what goes on in Brussels. No one reports on the Commission taking a hundred initiatives from its predecessor off the table in order to shift competencies back to member state governments.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Those who are saying that Mario Draghi is in the camp of those trying to push Greece outside the Euroarea, are wrong.
