More quotes by 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'm not deaf and the Commission isn't operating in a parallel world of legal texts.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I am a champion of trans-Atlantic relations and I do not believe there is any other option available to us than working closely together with America - including Canada. There is no other alliance option, but the same is true for the U.S.
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
Those who are saying that Mario Draghi is in the camp of those trying to push Greece outside the Euroarea, are wrong.
Jean-Claude Juncker
My friendship with Martin [Schulz], by contrast, is completely different in that it goes far beyond politics.
Jean-Claude Juncker
We must also take this opportunity to learn from the situation [of Brexit], just as we learned from the refugee and debt crises.
Jean-Claude Juncker
For my generation, the monetary union has always been about forging peace.
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
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
There is a proposal to divide the currency zone into a north and a south euro. There is also the idea of setting up a core monetary union in the middle of Europe. I disapprove of these debates. Instead, we should devote all of our efforts to supplementing the monetary union with a political union.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Trump knows that he is encountering a complete lack of understanding in Europe, but it's apparent that he's not very impressed by it. My experience, however, has been that American presidents take a greater interest in Europe over the course of their term.
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
In the highest government office, you have to be ready to bow out at any time, otherwise you are not a free individual anymore.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Now it is firstly a matter of a clean divorce, because citizens and companies need legal certainty. Can there be a new partnership with the United Kingdom one day? All 27 Member States would have to agree to that. And the United Kingdom would first have to reflect on what it wants itself.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Yesterday's shining heroes of Brexit have become the sorrowful heroes of today.
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
Decisions can only be reached in Europe if France and Germany agree.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Article 50 governs the exit from the European Union and here there can also be no renegotiation.
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.
