If there was to be a new Europe, there not only had to be a common market, but also great mobility in labor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We were talking about really getting Europe on its feet. It was our hope that there would be a breakdown of trade barriers in Europe first, and then eventually a breakdown internationally, which would help increase trade with Europe.
I think it is one of the fundamentals, not only of the European Union but also of free trade, that competition is fair.
Every country in Europe needs immigrants for its economic survival.
Basically, on the question of Europe, I want to see a social Europe, a cohesive Europe, a coherent Europe, not a free market Europe.
It's political glue inside Europe to keep it together - the euro is the best thing going for it since the creation of the common market.
Europe should stick to an open economy, to competition and we should refuse protectionism. It will not save one single job in the long run to protect non-competitive industries.
Above all it is important to point out that we can only maintain our prosperity in Europe if we belong to the most innovative regions in the world.
Anyone who's working in manufacturing here should know they will have increased opportunities if we leave the European Union.
What we should be doing in the EU as a whole is more economic integration in the single market, rather than less.
This is what the European Union is all about. A strong market with a strong currency.
