I am a partisan and artisan of Europe. But I draw the lessons of my experience in government.

This revision of the Constitution will not be perfect. But at least the Constitution will not be inflexible. It will be a step towards the Social Europe which we wish.

There are 20 million unemployed and what does the Constitution offer us in the Europe of 25, 27 and soon to be 30: policies of unrestricted competition to the detriment of production, wages, research and innovation.

Europe is usually where I am usually galloping around.

I never have a plan of what I am going to draw.

I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
