The Times When We Could Fully Count

I Take Advantage Of The Ability To Fly With Helicopters Belonging To The Federal Police Force, And This Privilege Is Consistent With Rules That Have Been In Place For Decades. A Chancellor Must Be Accessible At All Times And Be In A Position To Execute Their Duties As Best They Can. I Must Have The Ability To Immediately Return To Berlin If Necessary. There Are Also Security Considerations.

If Europe Today Accounts For Just Over 7 Per Cent Of The World's Population, Produces Around 25 Per Cent Of Global Gdp And Has To Finance 50 Per Cent Of Global Social Spending, Then It's Obvious That It Will Have To Work Very Hard To Maintain Its Prosperity And Way Of Life.

It Is A Fact That, If I Single Out Germany, Our Rate Of Growth Is Too Low And We Have Very High Unemployment.

In Europe It Is Particularly Important That We Build Good Relations To Everyone Who Holds Political Responsibility Because Europe Can Only Be Build Together.

And I Think That A Woman As Chancellor Can Also Serve As A Good Example,.
