More quotes by Wolfgang Schauble
I want to see religious instruction and sermons held in German in the mosques. The ideal, in my view, would be for imams to be trained in Germany and to speak our language, just as the Roman Catholic Church now holds mass in German and gave up Latin long ago.
Wolfgang Schauble
We know that the abilities of European Union member states are not infinite. As such, it makes little sense for us to criticize each other.All of us accepted Sweden's decision to introduce border controls too. And that is a country that was for decades the most open to immigration.
Wolfgang Schauble
I don't know how many resolutions from the IMF or G-20 we have already written saying that such [financial] reforms are necessary for new growth.
Wolfgang Schauble
Most of the mosques were built in our cities in recent years because Turkish citizens in those neighborhoods feel a growing need for places to pray.
Wolfgang Schauble
My job is not to predict everything that might happen in the future, but to address what we can do today.
Wolfgang Schauble
I suggested that countries with tighter finances think about such a [fuel] tax. We don't have the time at the moment for months of discussion.
Wolfgang Schauble
Emmanuel Macron wants to see changes in France and we support him in that. Macron has proven his courage by leading an election campaign friendly to Europe and reform against the majority opinion of the Socialist Party.
Wolfgang Schauble
Germany has always stood for an E.U. of the 27 countries. But in light of Britain's continued resistance to further integration steps, as we saw with the fiscal pact, there are limits to my optimism in this regard. It's quite possible that we will have to create the new institutions for the euro zone first.
Wolfgang Schauble
We will not be able to meet the challenges of integration and the threats posed by international terrorism. If we want to prevent attacks, we'll need more information and better integration.
Wolfgang Schauble
It has been clear for some time now that we have to do more for domestic and external security. I am prepared for that.
Wolfgang Schauble
Our balanced budget has an important psychological function. It is a signal that we can't continue to constantly take on debt.
Wolfgang Schauble
Treaties exist so that they will be adhered to. It only serves to strengthen euroskepticism when we constantly make promises and reach agreements that we do not adhere to.
Wolfgang Schauble
If the Schengen system (of border-free travel) is destroyed, Europe will be seriously endangered politically and economically. That is why we Europeans have to invest billions in Turkey, Libya, Jordan and other countries in the region as quickly as possible everybody as much as they can.
Wolfgang Schauble
Reliability is the precondition for trust.
Wolfgang Schauble
You can lead a happy life if you recognize that it's limited and completely unpredictable from one moment to the next.
Wolfgang Schauble
The goal of European unification can only be achieved if everyone participates, perhaps with exceptions in some areas. Not all countries are part of monetary union, and not all are in the Schengen area. But the fundamental goal should be to keep everyone on board.
Wolfgang Schauble
I think we will have to spend more on defense, for infrastructure, for extension of the broadband network and also for domestic security.
Wolfgang Schauble
As for the role of France and Germany: French politics is often more self-confident then German politics due to the catastrophe in the first half of the last century. If Berlin and Paris don't agree, then it is difficult to make progress in Europe.
Wolfgang Schauble
The United States lived on borrowed money for too long, inflating its financial sector unnecessarily and neglecting its small and mid-sized industrial companies.
Wolfgang Schauble
We in Europe need to discuss how we can improve the community. That is the correct order.
Wolfgang Schauble
