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.

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.

Europe is a democracy and differences of opinion are part of it.

The position of EU commissioner for economic and monetary affairs could be combined with the office of Euro Group chairman. That job would be a great challenge for anyone who assumed it. On the one hand, he would have to make proposals. On the other hand, he would have to negotiate compromises with his European counterparts.

One shouldn't pursue the wrong policies just because one is afraid of not being reelected. Those who intend to govern have to take responsibility for their countries and for Europe as a whole. This means, if need be, that they have to pursue the right policies, even if many voters think they are the wrong ones.

My friendship with Martin [Schulz], by contrast, is completely different in that it goes far beyond politics.

I don't think in national categories. For me it [policy] is about concepts and substance.

I'm convinced that, in the long term, a monetary union includes a joint debt policy under strict, mutually agreed upon conditions.

The way some German politicians have lashed out at Greece when the country fell into the crisis has left deep wounds there. I was just as shocked by the banners of protesters in Athens that showed the German chancellor in a Nazi uniform.

I said in my inaugural address that I am not the Council's secretary, nor am I the Parliament's lackey. That can sometimes lead to conflicts, which are defused through dialogue.

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.

The good thing about the European Union is that the joint project ultimately benefits all Member States and not just a few.

Article 50 governs the exit from the European Union and here there can also be no renegotiation.

Anyone who believes that the eternal question of war and peace in Europe is no longer there risks being deeply mistaken.

It is not more Europe or less Europe that we need. We need a better Europe.

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.
