You cannot form a community of countries of different strength without a certain amount of equilibrium. That is reflected in, for example, the EU budget and the bailout programs. That is why there are net payers and net recipients in Europe. A community cannot exist if the stronger do not take responsibility for the weaker.

We will not be able to meet the challenges of integration and the threats posed by international terrorism. If we want to prevent attacks, we'll need more information and better integration.

We in Europe need to discuss how we can improve the community. That is the correct order.

Those who constantly qualify everything and have no opinions of their own are ultimately just as incapable of tolerance.

In China, it was always said that a double-digit rate of growth would be dangerous. Now, the country has a growth rate of 6.9 percent and suddenly that is supposed to be a catastrophe for the global economy.

My job is not to predict everything that might happen in the future, but to address what we can do today.

We need more personnel within our security agencies.
