"Facing a transformation of magnitude never seen before in the past in terms of speed and impact on its people, Europe has a duty to develop and defend its own way, a model balancing economic and social development. Only a United Europe will have the size and impact to matter in the world."

— Denis Terrien,
Chairman of the Supervisory board Grandir Group, Board member United Europe

Prominent Opinions

"At a time when populism is gaining in significance in many European countries and beyond, it is more important than ever to participate in the political process – our democracy thrives on it. My urgent appeal to you: Strengthen the reason, send a signal and go to the European elections!"

— Prof. Dr Dr Reinhard Hüttl,
CEO Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam

Prominent Opinions

"What is Germany without Europe? In times of increasing populism and conflicts all over the world, we need a strong, democratic Europe. A high turnout at the upcoming European election would be a strong signal for a united Europe. The world needs a strong Europe."

— Andreas Rudolph,
Chairman of the Board, GHD GesundHeits GmbH Germany

Prominent Opinions

"We can all appreciate the immense contributions of the EU concerning growth and prosperity across Europe. However, the real merit is that 500 M people live today in freedom, for whom the concept of war or conflict with each other would be unthinkable. It is imperative that we preserve this within a strong European Union."

— Dr. Michael Böhmer,
Partner, Ernst & Young GmbH

Prominent Opinions

"The European idea is fundamental for our democracy, history and values. And Europe is our only chance to maintain relevance in a world that is changing ever faster. Thus, we must continue to develop the European idea and concentrate on few major projects like defence, energy, mobility or aspects of digital."

— Dr. Leonhard Birnbaum,
Member of the Board, E.ON SE

"We are better together - economically, culturally and in every other way. Better together with 500 million people."

— Baroness Jay of Paddington,
Member House of Lords, Board United Europe

Prominent Opinions

"In a Europe where there is a policy of compartmentalisation, free trade is restricted or even impossible. To duck is far more dangerous in the long run than flying the flag against populism, racism, nationalism and protectionism."

— Dr. Jürgen Großmann,
Founder United Europe e.V.
