More quotes by Jean-Claude Juncker
Decisions can only be reached in Europe if France and Germany agree.
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
Angela Merkel did the right thing. Her decision and the extraordinary willingness of the German people to take in refugees conveyed an image of Germany that is still having positive repercussions today. Unfortunately, people in Germany are no longer seeing that.
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
My friendship with Martin [Schulz], by contrast, is completely different in that it goes far beyond politics.
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 would have thought that they [Boris Johnson and Nigel Farag] would have had a plan,instead of developing a plan they are leaving the boat.
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
God understands more about the financial markets than many who write about them.
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
The European Union has decades of experience in overcoming crises and has always emerged stronger after.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I'm convinced that, in the long term, a monetary union includes a joint debt policy under strict, mutually agreed upon conditions.
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
Article 50 governs the exit from the European Union and here there can also be no renegotiation.
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
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
Anyone who believes that the eternal question of war and peace in Europe is no longer there risks being deeply mistaken.
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
Yesterday's shining heroes of Brexit have become the sorrowful heroes of today.
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.
