Besides Germany, The Only Countries That Don't

We Need A Greening Of Globalisation.

Maybe It Is The Last Chance For Europe To Influence Standards For World Trade. Next It Will Be Between The Us And The Asia-pacific Region.

In Germany It Is Good If As Many People As Possible Join Initiatives And Peaceful Demonstrations Against The Rule Of The Financial Markets. Worshipping The Unfettered Freedom Of Global Markets Has Brought The World To The Brink Of Ruin. We Now Need Social And Ecological Rules For The Market Economy.

The Task For Germany Today Is - Through Its Own Policies And Its Own Structural Reforms, Its Own Investments - To Support The Eu And The Commission... But Every Nation Has To Have The Courage To Broach Such Structural Reforms And Speak Clearly About Them Without Making People Be Afraid.

In The Past, Germany Could Rely On The French, The British And, Especially, The Americans, To Assert Our Interests In The World. We Have Always Criticized The U.s. For Being The Global Police, And It Was Often Appropriate To Do So. But We Are Now Seeing What Happens When The U.s. Pulls Back. If The U.s. Leaves The Room, Other Powers Immediately Walk In. In Syria, It's Russia And Iran. In Trade Policy, It's China. These Examples Show That, Ultimately, We Are No Longer Achieving Either - Neither The Dissemination Of Our European Values Nor The Advancement Of Our Interests.
