More quotes by Wolfgang Schauble
Reliability is the precondition for trust.
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
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
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
The German export successes are not the result of some sort of currency manipulation, but of the increased competitiveness of companies. The American growth model, on the other hand, is in a deep crisis.
Wolfgang Schauble
If we want to make Europe stronger, then each country first has to ensure that it becomes stronger itself. This applies to Italy and France, and it applies to Germany as well. Subsequently, we in Europe need to discuss how we can improve the community. That is the correct order.
Wolfgang Schauble
If you make the state responsible for everything, you shouldn't be surprised when you end up with a state that bears some resemblance to a dictatorship.
Wolfgang Schauble
Politics means competition, especially in senior positions. If you don't know that, you're not especially suited to politics.
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
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
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
A number of politicians, including those within your own party, believe Germans would be safer if the German military didn't insert itself into so many of the world's hot spots.
Wolfgang Schauble
The significant collapse of oil prices shows that it was previously way too high.
Wolfgang Schauble
Emmanuel Macron wants a stronger Europe, just as the chancellor and I do. I was impressed that the new president climbed onto the stage in front of the Louvre to the sound of the European anthem after his election victory. That was a very powerful symbol. It is very clear: Macron is our ally.
Wolfgang Schauble
About three million Muslims live in the country, but we have no relationship to our diverse Muslim society, despite the fact that it's an established part of our larger society. We need to build a stronger foundation for the relationship between Muslims and the state.
Wolfgang Schauble
I'm a firm believer in the monetary union.
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
In China, it was always said that a double-digit rate of growth would be dangerous. Now, the country has a growth rate of 6.9 percent and suddenly that is supposed to be a catastrophe for the global economy.
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
We were always faced with questions like: What about a religious community like Milli Görüs, which is represented by the Islamic Council? And what about the Central Council of Muslims? But we don't wish to exclude people from the start.
Wolfgang Schauble
