“Without doubt: We need a strong European Union like never before. The challenges within our continent and around the globe are becoming more complex, complicated and challenging. Europe has to be more self-confident – Europe has to take on a leading role in world politics. In order to get there, the people of Europe need to identify with the European project, which has brought unprecedented peace, prosperity and democracy. United Europe – with its mission, its agenda and its diverse composition of members with different backgrounds, perspectives and skills – can contribute to a better understanding of each other and thereby create new ideas, new narratives, new fields of activities for a Europe that matters – to the people and to the world.”
