Jean-Pierre Raffarin Europe Quotations

Europe started out with six countries; three small countries and three large countries.

There have been major disagreements within the European Union.

When I see the cultural diversity that exists today, I feel that we must defend it, and we need Europe, because otherwise we are going to live in a society with a single model, the Anglo-American model.

Obviously, there is diversity, but Europe is a union of diversity.

It's true that the question of Iraq divided Europe.

We must stress that the euro has been beneficial to the European Union because, otherwise, in this context of international turmoil, every country would have to devalue their currencies.

The Europe we are in the process of building is the Europe of the 21st century; it's not the Europe of the 20th century.

We believe that the European Union is facing a truly historic choice.
