Norway or Switzerland are two marvelous countries, I very much admire, the most advanced countries in the world in fact with great qualities of life.

I am a very committed European.

If we say leaders are incompetent, we are going to fuel extremist, populist, xenophobic and ultra-nationalist parties.

Norwegian legislation is more in conformity with the rules of the European Union than most member states.

In the age of globalization pooled sovereignty means more power, not less.

A new state, if it wants to join the European Union, has to apply to become a member of the European Union like any state.

The Eurogroup decisions are always taken unanimously.
