My main concern is to protect people from detriment.

But anyone who believes that the eternal issue of war and peace in Europe has been permanently laid to rest could be making a monumental error. The demons haven't been banished; they are merely sleeping, as the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo have shown us.

Article 50 governs the exit from the European Union and here there can also be no renegotiation.

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.

It's important to recognize that we in Europe will either succeed together or fail together.

From the very beginning Europe has been not only a success story but also a story of success achieved by learning.

I notice with a certain sense of regret that far too many Europeans are returning to a regional and national mindset.
