How can we later criticise other countries outside the European Union for adopting such measures to repress opponents when we are tolerating this inside the European Union with European citizens? Like me - I'm a European citizen.
We need not to just kill the boat-smuggling business model: we also need to get rid of this asylum-shopping in the European Union.
The European Union has become a prison of peoples. Each of the 28 countries that constitute it has slowly lost its democratic prerogatives to commissions and councils with no popular mandate. Every nation in the union has had to apply laws it did not want for itself.
Peace between Israel and Palestine is a top priority for the European Union, and it will remain a top priority in our political agenda.
I don't know if the European Union contributes a great deal to espionage. At the union level, they talk about commerce and privacy. But to keep citizens safe, that remains a responsibility back in national capitals.
The European Union arose on an economic foundation, and it turns out that even this is not a solid base. Cultural identity has been neglected.
I hope Britain stays in the European Union, but I don't want to decide for the British.
We need a Palestinian state - that is the ultimate goal, and this is the position of all the European Union.
The euro must be defended, or uncertainty about the European Union will be widespread.
I think that it is becoming more and more clear that the European Union is an indispensable partner in some fields.
If we leave the European Union it's a risk to our economy - it's a risk to pensioners, it's a risk to homeowners, it's a risk to people in work.
Everyone understands the European Union is a failure. It has not kept any of its promises - in particular about prosperity, security - and, worst of all, has put us under a guardianship.
What's a fact is that we give more than £350 million to the European Union and hand over control of that money to the European Union every week.
I will work for Bulgaria's strategic choice - Bulgaria's membership in the European Union and NATO. I think it is also extremely important to revive Bulgaria's relations with Russia, Ukraine and other strategic partners.
Western Europe has been redefining the nation state since 1945 when it formed the European Union following World War II.
Speaking from my experience as a person involved for a long time in building the European Union, it is important to have patience and efforts to build a community of nations.
A new state, if it wants to join the European Union, has to apply to become a member of the European Union like any state.
I think it is one of the fundamentals, not only of the European Union but also of free trade, that competition is fair.
If we left the European Union, it would be a one-way ticket, not a return. So we will have time for a proper, reasoned debate. At the end of that debate you, the British people, will decide.
The U.S. trade embargo on Cuba is almost completely ineffective, as many other countries, including the European Union, do not honor it.
I do not have the slightest bit of confidence in the European Union to protect the borders of the European Union.
Brexit has really broken a taboo. The Brits have shown us that you can leave the European Union, and you can come out better.
We've been a bit too defensive about the European Union rules. We don't want to become protectionist and nationalist in the way we buy things but we think we could do a lot more to promote British business through procurement.
If the euro zone doesn't come up with a comprehensive vision of its own future, you'll have a whole range of nationalist, xenophobic and extreme movements increasing across the European Union. And, frankly, questions about the British debate on EU membership will just be a small sideshow compared to the rise of political populism.
The European Union will never see America, or an American president, as a risk.
The Conservatives are a confusing lot. They first denied climate change was a serious issue and then suggested strengthening the nuclear industry as a solution to it. They oppose the European Union, but support joining North American Free Trade Agreement, despite its obvious failure.
I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too. So I speak as British prime minister with a positive vision for the future of the European Union. A future in which Britain wants, and should want, to play a committed and active part.
This is what the European Union is all about. A strong market with a strong currency.
I want us to move as quickly as we can towards a free trade deal between the U.K. and the U.S.A. that would be good for both of us. That would also send a signal to the European Union that there's a bigger world outside of the European Union, and Britain can manage just nicely.
Collective European Union action could mean no hiding places for evaders, no safe haven for tax avoiders, and no treasure islands for money launderers.
The European Union needs to reinvent its security system. It needs to break the stovepipes that prevent sharing information, enforcing borders and protecting citizens.
The people who are backing the Remain campaign are people who have done very well, thank you, out of the European Union.
