The Euro Is Our Common

So Europe Needs To Be Competitive And We Also Need To Be Competitive If We Wish To Remain An Interesting Economic Partner For The United States. This Has To Be Done On The Basis Of Strength, Of Competitiveness.

History Has Often Showed Us The Strength Of The Forces That Are Unleashed By The Yearning For Freedom. It Moved People To Overcome Their Fears And Openly Confront Dictators Such As In East Germany And Eastern Europe About 22 Years Ago... The Yearning For Freedom Cannot Be Contained By Walls For Long. It Was This Yearning That Brought Down The Iron Curtain That Divided Germany And Europe, And Indeed The World, Into Two Blocs.

There Is Anything But An Assurance Of Success, I Have To Be Very Clear About That.

Nobody In Europe Will Be Abandoned. Nobody In Europe Will Be Excluded. Europe Only Succeeds If We Work Together.

We Cannot Stand Alone. With 80 Million People In This World Of Today, You Cannot, When You Just Stand On Your Own, Achieve Much Even Though You May Be Economically Strong.
