My mother wanted me to be a professor, because I have several people in my family who are professors at university.

I'll put it frankly - Britain has more influence in China than Norway or Switzerland, with all respect for the other countries.

By the way, the European Union Member States together - even the euro area Member States together - are by far the biggest contributors to the IMF.

The Eurogroup decisions are always taken unanimously.

At least in Europe, we consider the right to privacy a fundamental right and it is a very serious matter.

The euro area must not be treated as an "opt out" from the European Union.
