I have no illusions: this won't be an easy parliamentary term
Israel and Germany are today connected to each other in a unique way, against the backdrop of a terrible past. Israel sees democratic Germany as one of its closest allies, while German President Horst Köhler and Chancellor Angela Merkel have declared Israel's right to exist to be a cornerstone of German...
Like everyone else, I think that tax evaders need to be uncovered
There is so much political capital invested in the euro by the political class ... that even the stern and parsimonious [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel will in the end contribute to a bailout fund if necessary.
Our goal is to get possession of this data, if it is relevant
At the end of the day, this is going to be a political decision by Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Nicolas Sarkozy
Like every sensible person, I want to clamp down on tax evasion ... If these data are relevant we should aim to get hold of them.
The challenge is now to US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to change the politics of the developed world to do what the science says we need.
Now it is about finding acceptable conditions for such talks
I told [US] President [Barack] Obama, I told [French] President [Nicolas] Sarkozy, I told [German] Chancellor Angela Merkel that we will not get good things out of Iran if we corner them. You need to create space to talk
We should aim to get hold of this data if it’s relevant
I told President Obama, I told President Sarkozy, I told Prime Minister Angela Merkel that we will not get good things out of Iran if we corner them. You need to create space to talk
Everything should be done to get this data
Should German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her 26 colleagues from the European Union follow this example this evening in Brussels, there would not be much left to talk about. Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker would get the job of first permanent president of the EU. And the British foreign...
The Afghanistan mission has been claiming lives among German soldiers, police officials and civilian aid workers as well as among the Afghan population and their losses are very painful
It is a caricature of democracy. We have the feeling that the 27, especially [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel and [French President] Nicolas Sarkozy are looking for people who won't overshadow them
The German government deeply regrets the loss of lives and injuries caused by the air strike ordered by a German commander
There will be no peace in this region unless Pakistan carries its share of responsibility
There is a long tradition of economic cooperation (between Germany and Iran) ... There has been a significant reduction. But we believe it is only effective if you try to introduce international sanctions on as broad a base as possible. Germany will adhere to sanctions in all sectors that are affected.
In London we are talking about nothing less than setting the future course, a course that I am convinced will determine the success or failure of our mission
We have made it clear that we want a transparent Afghan government and that fighting corruption must be a high priority
In future, this task will stand in the center of our engagement
The international community is without a doubt being put to the test
