As politicians we have to react to the fact that many people do not feel that they can relate to the EU.

The substance of the constitution is preserved. That is a fact.

It is a fact that, if I single out Germany, our rate of growth is too low and we have very high unemployment.

Partners like the United States and Germany must always discuss all issues, including these questions. I welcome the fact that a discussion over legitimate methods of questioning and interrogation is taking place in both Germany and the United States.
