The European Army is our long-term goal. But first we have to strengthen the European Defence Union.
We feel bound to the Christian image of humanity - that is what defines us. Those who do not accept this are in the wrong place here.
India needs jobs, Germany needs people, and collaboration is crucial to meet the demographic needs of both countries.
We believe that from both a German and a Polish perspective, it is desirable for Great Britain to remain in the European Union.
I always wanted to know what I'd face next, even though that was maybe a bit detrimental to spontaneity. Structuring my life and avoiding chaos was more important.
The problem is, of course, that these interest groups are all asking for changes, but their enthusiasm for change rapidly disappears when it affects the core of their own interests.
From this experience we have learned that in a big party it is important to have the necessary and often controversial discussions on policy issues such as the health system while in opposition.
I've learned that even the word 'jubilee' used in connection with the Reformation can give rise to discussions.
Controversial disputes are a part of democratic culture.
I don't carry any early childhood trauma around with me, if that's what you're hinting at. The story of the bicycles - and there were three of them which were stolen from me - I've dealt with it well.
As a 7-year-old child, I saw the Wall being erected.

For those who share my view that the Jews as a people have a right to self-determination, Zionism as a national movement of the Jewish people is the embodiment of this very right, which its opponents want to deny.
It is always the case that when something emerges - which, of course, from the perspective of the former West Germany looks very different - then people say, 'She hasn't told us this yet' and 'She hasn't told us that yet.' I don't know - maybe there are other things I didn't talk about because no one ever asked me.
I believe those that produce the least emissions in autos will also be those who have the greatest success worldwide.
We will be very persistent when it comes to enforcing freedom, justice, and self-determination on the European continent.
For a few years, more people have been leaving our country than entering it. Wherever it is possible, we must lower the entry hurdles for those who bring the country forward.
More reforms will give more impetus to German industries to invest in India. German companies want to be treated on par with Indian companies, and creation of an equitable market is crucial for investments.
As politicians we have to react to the fact that many people do not feel that they can relate to the EU.
I think that the EU with the Lisbon agenda has put the right emphasis on growth and employment.
