country stronger three
About three million Muslims live in the country, but we have no relationship to our diverse Muslim society, despite the fact that it's an established part of our larger society. We need to build a stronger foundation for the relationship between Muslims and the state.
country growth would-be
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.
country thinking months
I suggested that countries with tighter finances think about such a [fuel] tax. We don't have the time at the moment for months of discussion.
country europe turkeys
If the Schengen system (of border-free travel) is destroyed, Europe will be seriously endangered politically and economically. That is why we Europeans have to invest billions in Turkey, Libya, Jordan and other countries in the region as quickly as possible everybody as much as they can.
country decision border-control
We know that the abilities of European Union member states are not infinite. As such, it makes little sense for us to criticize each other.All of us accepted Sweden's decision to introduce border controls too. And that is a country that was for decades the most open to immigration.
country light optimism
Germany has always stood for an E.U. of the 27 countries. But in light of Britain's continued resistance to further integration steps, as we saw with the fiscal pact, there are limits to my optimism in this regard. It's quite possible that we will have to create the new institutions for the euro zone first.
country greek benefits
It is true that no member state can be required to make payments to others. But if countries want to offer voluntary assistance, as in the Greek case, this isn't only allowed, but it's also in Germany's interest. We all benefit by ensuring the stability of the euro zone.
agree contract countries examine experts option presenting
We agree that experts from our countries must examine the option of presenting an integration contract to new immigrants.
euro
The presidency of the Euro group is an interesting and important task.
good
Mr. Geithner is an excellent minister. We have a good personal relationship.
prepared public run willing
If you are prepared to run for public office, you also have to be willing to accept a debate about you.
I would wish for more British involvement in Europe, not less.
bankruptcy government
I think there will be no government bankruptcy in Greece.
again badly based experience future human might worries
Even when one is doing well, one still worries that things might go badly again in the future. This is an old observation based on human experience.
