thinking substance categories
I don't think in national categories. For me it [policy] is about concepts and substance.
blame easy hindsight
With hindsight, it is always easy to blame everyone else.
mind suffering withdrawal
I'm not suffering from withdrawal symptoms. I would say that I have a balanced state of mind.
trying mario camps
Those who are saying that Mario Draghi is in the camp of those trying to push Greece outside the Euroarea, are wrong.
thinking growth greece
I wouldn't like Greece to stay recession. I do think that everything has to be undertaken to reconnect with growth.
fighting greek floating
Greeks have to know that they are not alone ... Those who are fighting for the survivor of Greece inside the Euro area are deeply harmed by the impression floating around in the Greek public opinion that Greece is a victim. Greece is a member of the EU and the euro. I want Greece to be a constructive member of the Union because the EU is also benefiting from Greece.
greek want camps
The Greek nation has to be respected. I am not in the camp of those who openly want to humiliate Greece.
country europe leaving
I would describe that [friendship with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras] as a utilitarian friendship. At the time, his country was facing the prospect of leaving the euro zone and many Greeks felt abandoned by Europe. In such a situation, it seemed appropriate to me to present myself as a friend to Greece. It had to do with the country's dignity.
credit pillars financial
The Luxembourg financial centre is based on several pillars, we are characterised by the breadth of our product range, we are an active participant in the international credit business.
issues today aberration
We can't completely rely on the aberrations of history to explain today's European necessities. Future-related issues are no less pressing.
country people missing
But it is the best thing that we have for bringing the countries of Europe around the same table and for forging compromises so that people here can live in peace, freedom and prosperity. In a world which is growing closer together all the time, we can only survive and influence the rules if we join forces. We will miss the presence of the United Kingdom at this table.
government office bows
In the highest government office, you have to be ready to bow out at any time, otherwise you are not a free individual anymore.
real government giving
I was never presented with the details as far as the collective bargaining system is Greece. I am in favor of a normal system without giving the labour minister the right to extend the results to extend the result of the collective bargaining to the whole of the real economy. The government has to make sure that the results will not harm the situation of small and medium enterprises.
religious school loss
During our religious instruction in school, we always asked: How can one prove the existence of God? And I have learned that the Catholic Church, which is never at a loss for an answer when it comes to existential questions, responds as follows: This question simply does not arise.
