I think that economic patriotism is the very foundation of a European vision.

The principal achievement of Europe is peace, which we often forget about as it has become so taken for granted by Europeans.

In a multipolar world, there must be more powers capable of taking responsibility, the U.S. and Europe must be able to unite to achieve peace in the Middle East.

I would like to tell our American, British and Spanish friends that the Iraqi crisis is not a problem between the United States and France, but between those who want to move forward in the logic of war and the international community.
