Europäische Union / European Union Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Europäische Union / European Union:

The European Union, which is not directly responsible to voters, provides an irresistible opportunity for European elites to seize power in order to impose their own vision on a newly socially regimented Europe. Maggie Gallagher

I think it's extremely unlikely that the European Union will fracture with nations dropping off the edge.

John Major

Now, the entire world community recognizes Georgia. We are members of the United Nations and the Council of Europe. Everything is being prepared so that we will soon enter the European Union.

Eduard Shevardnadze

No matter who becomes chancellor, Poland and Germany will remain neighbours, strategic partners, not only within the European Union, but also world partners, and I don't believe anything could change in our relations.

Marek Belka

A U.K. vote to exit the European Union could have significant economic repercussions.

Janet Yellen

Kosovo's destiny is clearly to join the European Union at some point.

Emma Bonino

I find no contradiction between being a Highlander, a Scot, a citizen of the U.K. and a citizen of the European Union at one and the same time.

Charles Kennedy

We must stress that the euro has been beneficial to the European Union because, otherwise, in this context of international turmoil, every country would have to devalue their currencies.

Jean-Pierre Raffarin

The institutions of the European Union, and the states that belong to this union, each and every one, are paying the price of our failures, hesitations and contradictions. We should each ask ourselves how personally responsible we are.

Giorgio Napolitano

We don't want protectionism at the heart of the European Union.

Guy Verhofstadt

I think that we must come together progressively, with the British, the Germans, the Spanish, the Italians and with the new members of the European Union, we must make an effort to forge closer links.

Jean-Pierre Raffarin

Indeed, our British friends have decided to leave us - which is very sad for all of us - but life goes on, and the European Union as well goes on.

Federica Mogherini

We are not directly involved in Syria. But we will be working with our partners in the European Union and at the United Nations to see if we can persuade the Syrian authorities to go, as I say, more in that direction of respect for democracy and human rights.

William Hague

The European Union will continue to fully support multilateral global governance based on international law, human rights, and strong international institutions.

Federica Mogherini

At the heart of these challenges lies the question of how the institutions of the European Union make laws, the types of laws they pass and the effectiveness with which those laws are implemented on civil society and the economy.

John Hutton

We have a very long legal system with the European Union, and we're English speaking.

Enda Kenny

Because with courage and conviction I believe we can deliver a more flexible, adaptable and open European Union in which the interests and ambitions of all its members can be met.

David Cameron

The European Union is the world's most successful invention for advancing peace.

John Bruton

First of all, Greece won't go down. We're talking about a country that is capable of making change. Europe will not allow the destabilization of the 27-country euro zone. But if there were no action, then markets would start becoming jittery about other countries - and not only Spain and Portugal, but other countries in the European Union.

George Papandreou

Let me be absolutely clear: I think it is defeatist to sort of say we want to leave the European Union. We're going to try and change the rules and change the way it works and change the objectives that it has in order to make it something that works for Britain.

Philip Hammond

I'm a great supporter of the European Union. I didn't support entry to the Euro, not because I'm against it in principle but because I didn't think it was economically right for Britain. But that doesn't make me any less pro-European.

Gordon Brown

The euro area must not be treated as an 'opt out' from the European Union.

Jose Manuel Barroso

The United States and the European Union do want to have a rule of law, and that rule of law should be for a fair trial. And that fair trial needs to have an impartial jury.

Maria Cantwell

It is the hope of the European Union that Ariel Sharon will keep the peace process alive and continue the dialogue according to the wishes of all the parties involved.

Goran Persson

The U.K. outside of the European Union will end up being a mid-sized economy, somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in neither America nor Europe.

Mark Rutte

The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation.

Nick Clegg

Terrorism is an evil that threatens all the countries in Europe. Vigorous cooperation in the European Union and worldwide is crucial in order to meet this evil head on.

Jan Peter Balkenende

If I don't manage to negotiate with the European Union, something I wish, then I will ask the French to leave the European Union. And then you'll be able to call me Madame Frexit.

Marine Le Pen

It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable.

David Cameron

We have used the presence of UNMIK, as well as other European and American agencies to establish a legal framework compatible with the European Union and that is already an advantage. We have seen the positive effects of this and our parliament will continue to go this way.

Ibrahim Rugova

I don't think that our European Union membership precludes us from building an illiberal new state based on national foundations.

Viktor Orban

Turkey must feel at ease. It mustn't say, 'For me, it's the European Union at all costs.' That's my view.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

If we get the capabilities, NATO, along with the European Union, can do amazing things.

Lord Robertson

European citizens expect that there will be also a fair system inside the European Union and in the euro, and that's why we have to have quite hard discipline.

Tarja Halonen

My second job has been to try to use my power to create institutions of a modern state that could enter the European Union, and there was very little time. The door was closing, and I wanted to get Bosnia through before it shut.

Paddy Ashdown

I also believe that we have an extraordinary opportunity for the United States and European Union to lead the world in developing and implementing new and more efficient technologies - smart electrical grids and electrical vehicles.

Hillary Clinton

If I am prime minister, we will come out of the European Union, and part of that will be control of free movement.

Theresa May
