We must lead in a different way... We must have an active president, who gives strong direction and works with the government for its implementation.

To promote the process of European integration, we must improve an institutional mechanism already existing in the European Union, reinforced co-operation, by making it more flexible and effective.

Co-operation between governments still plays an important role and will remain indispensable.

The fight against terror is a common imperative for democracies and must become so for all nations.

I do not separate France from Europe.
