Given a fair wind, we will negotiate our way into the Common Market, head held high, not crawling in. Negotiations? Yes. Unconditional acceptance of whatever terms are offered us? No.

Any deal that's not approved by Congress won't be accepted by Congress. Not now and certainly not in the future.

No trade will be made unless they want the thing more than they want their money.

First of all: no one in their right mind would sign an exclusive contract.

A government operates and acts differently than a company. So all we want to do is get some transparency here and then determine if the deal should go forward.

I hope everybody will go back to the negotiating table. I've always said this is the only way forward.

Nor in truth, can Forreign Trade subsist without the Home Trade, both being connected together.

Let's start getting some free trade agreements started as soon as we can. We need to get on with it; we need to get a grip and make progress.

Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.

You can't end negotiations unless you begin them. And you can't begin them if you continually negotiate about the terms to begin negotiations.
