I am a partisan and artisan of Europe. But I draw the lessons of my experience in government.

This revision of the Constitution will not be perfect. But at least the Constitution will not be inflexible. It will be a step towards the Social Europe which we wish.

The EU should help the emergence of "organized multipolarity" in the currently non-polar world.

The U.S. withdrawal from the Kyoto protocol endangers the entire process.

I want to make an extremely strong appeal to those who abstained. Vote. It takes five minutes and then it's for five years.

The single currency should allow the European Union, and therefore France, to balance its monetary strength with the United States. It should help us adjust to the development of China.

France on its own cannot impose its point of view. But neither should it give up on its demands. With a clear vote for change France will be in a strong position.
