Wolfgang Schauble quotes about
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.
oil way significant
The significant collapse of oil prices shows that it was previously way too high.
fighting rights tolerance
If we want to avoid a clash of cultures - and the jury is still out on whether we can - we'll have to make different cultures and religions compatible with the universal nature of human rights and tolerance. But I can promise you this: Anyone who calls me an infidel at the conference will be in for a fight.
happy-life next moments
You can lead a happy life if you recognize that it's limited and completely unpredictable from one moment to the next.
migration pressure negotiation
It is clear to us that we will have to become more involved in our neighboring regions so that the migration pressures aren't so high there. Of course the budget negotiations will be difficult, as they always are.
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.

Religion teachers for Islam instruction are being trained now in Münster and Erlangen. This has to happen quickly. My goal is to achieve relevant results within two years.

If we were to have a presidential election in Europe it would be an event that would spark a huge interest in people from Lisbon to Helsinki, just like national elections. And it would create a completely different political setting in Europe.
account declining deficits exporting portugal several spain
There are several silver linings on the horizon. The current account deficits in Spain and Portugal are declining because they have become more competitive and they're exporting more.
private
My private financial situation is such that I don't need to worry about my investments. I don't have much to invest.
along created grown laborious people possible ready since union willing
This much is true: When we created the euro, it wasn't possible to create a political union along with it. People weren't ready for that. But since then, they've grown more willing to go in that direction. It's a process, one that is sometimes laborious and sometimes slow. But it's important to keep the populations involved.
bankruptcy government
I think there will be no government bankruptcy in Greece.
euro
The presidency of the Euro group is an interesting and important task.
