“We work well together with the United Kingdom - particularly, perhaps,...” — Angela Merkel Quote

“We work well together with the United Kingdom - particularly, perhaps, when we talk about new rules for the European Union.”

“We have to ensure politically that what's doable can indeed by translated into law, but what's not doable mustn't become European law. Otherwise, the auto industry will work somewhere with higher carbon emissions - and we can't want that.”

“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.”

“If we leave the European Union it's a risk to our economy - it's a risk to pensioners, it's a risk to homeowners, it's a risk to people in work.”

“We have a commitment to making sure that the U.K. remains a member of the European Union.”

“It is in our nations' interests to see a strong European Union with a growing economy, competitive on the world market.”
