We should believe in the strength and vitality of the values which constitute the E.U. and which neighbouring states can believe in and aspire to join.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The E.U. is more than just a trade organization or a common market; it is a guarantee of democracy, freedom, justice, and human rights. Nations cannot stay in the E.U. if they do not respect these guarantees.
The E.U. is an organization that was created after the Second World War for calming down the nationalism of member states, and it did so very successfully.
The majority people in this country are suffering because of our membership of the E.U.
The E.U. is the latest of a series of multinational organizations set up after World War II to ensure that there would never again be a pan-European war and to create the conditions for a new European prosperity after the destruction wrought by the war against the Nazis. The E.U. has admirably succeeded at both.
The E.U. is founded on the Treaties which apply only to the Member States who have agreed and ratified them.
We need Britain not only to stay in the E.U. but to be very active in it.
The E.U. is the world's fastest growing democratic body.
That's where my job comes in. Getting the E.U. and U.S. to agree.
Ireland has a role to play in making the E.U. united and strong.
So for mutual interest, I do want American presence in this region.
