Laurent Fabius quotes
" At the same time the Constitution sets in stone the Stability Pact and risks preventing member States from implementing a policy of growth. So we are not able to do things at the European or the national level. "

Laurent Fabius
" But Maastricht was not the end of history. It was a first step towards a Europe of growth, of employment, a social Europe. That was the vision of Francois Mitterrand. We are far from that now. "

Laurent Fabius
" But with this last enlargement Europe has changed its nature. The new countries are diverse. The old methods will no longer work. "

Laurent Fabius
" For a long time many believed that there would be an automatic adjustment and counted on a rapid increase in the wages of the emerging nations, on our advances in technology and the costs of transport preventing disruption. But this reassuring analysis is out of date. "

Laurent Fabius
" France on its own cannot impose its point of view. But neither should it give up on its demands. With a clear vote for change France will be in a strong position. "

Laurent Fabius
" However, the Constitution will not allow us a sufficient budget: unanimity is required and borrowing is forbidden. "

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

Laurent Fabius
" I approved the Maastricht treaty because it contained a major advance: the Euro. Despite its current shortcomings (it remains too strong) it can be a means of stability and power in the world. "

Laurent Fabius
" I have always conceived of the construction of Europe as a movement which permits slowly and surely an upwards social and economic harmonisation. "

Laurent Fabius
" If we wish to develop scientific research, a transport policy, public services, it is necessary to have the financial means to do so. "

Laurent Fabius
" The demographic weight of countries such as China and India exercise a massive pressure on our wages and salaries. They have accomplished massive technological advances and the revolution in information technology has reduced the costs of transport. "

Laurent Fabius
" The single currency should allow the European Union, and therefore France, to balance its monetary strength with the United States. It should help us adjust to the development of China. "

Laurent Fabius
" 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. "

Laurent Fabius
" This assumes an upward revision of the European Budget, which is precisely what Jacques Chirac refuses to do. On the contrary, he has demanded a reduction. "

Laurent Fabius
" 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. "
