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

Jean-Claude Juncker
God understands more about the financial markets than many who write about them.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Yesterday's shining heroes of Brexit have become the sorrowful heroes of today.
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
For my generation, the monetary union has always been about forging peace.
Jean-Claude Juncker
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.
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 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
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.
