My objective is that before the end of the millennium Europe should have a true federation. The Commission should become a political executive which can define essential common interests... responsible before the European Parliament and before the nation-states represented how you will, by the European Council or by a second chamber of national parliaments.

Yes, the European model remains superior to that of America and Japan.

Any union that can't accept workers choosing their own representatives through universal franchise is finished.

Even in Britain, the trade unions tell me that employment contracts have less protection than in the past.

The unions may continue to decline, but if they do, it'll be their fault.

Fundamentally, American society is composed of individuals who don't go out of their way to do each other favours.

Cinema explains American society. It's like a Western, with good guys and bad guys, where the weak don't have a place.
