Adelina Marini Economy, euroscepticism and foreign policy will be the three main issues at tonight's debate

28 April 2014 19:05

Adelina Marini Jean-Claude #Juncker said he fights for a serious Europe, not one that dreams. A Europe that spends as much as it earns

28 April 2014 19:07

Adelina Marini Martin Schulz: People should not pay for the mistakes of speculators

28 April 2014 19:08

Adelina Marini Guy Verhofstadt: I want to fix the economy

28 April 2014 19:08

Adelina Marini Ska Keller: I campaign for change

28 April 2014 19:09

Adelina Marini Martin Schulz: I will fight for preferential interest rates for young people and to unleash credit for small and medium enterprises

28 April 2014 19:11

Adelina Marini Guy #Verhofstadt: More Europe is driver for growth

28 April 2014 19:12

Adelina Marini Ska Keller: Investments in green energy, health care and education creates quality jobs

28 April 2014 19:12

Adelina Marini Jean-Claude #Juncker: There is no growth without fiscal discipline

28 April 2014 19:13

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: I'm against a super state and excessive bureaucracy, but we need more common policies

28 April 2014 19:15

Adelina Marini Ska #Keller: We need some tax harmonisation in Europe

28 April 2014 19:17

Adelina Marini #Juncker: I'm for tax competition but against tax dumping. I was for eurobonds but now I believe that the conditions for them are not fulfilled like stronger coordination of economic policies and control over budget policies

28 April 2014 19:19

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt is for eurobonds as is Schulz but he doubts this is realistic

28 April 2014 19:19

Adelina Marini #EUdebate2014 Martin #Schulz was a real gentlemen to Ska #Keller criticising the moderators for asking Ska Keller how is she going to face experience former prime ministers being herself very young and unexperienced. He said he was interested in ideas not in age and was applauded by the audience

28 April 2014 19:22

Adelina Marini #Juncker: The real power is with people

28 April 2014 19:25

Adelina Marini #Schulz: The self empowerment of the Council leads to a situation which is not compatible with the treaties. Whoever becomes a president should receive a sustainable majority in the European Parliament

28 April 2014 19:27

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: We need a European government to lead

28 April 2014 19:28

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: If the Council imposes an external person after all these debates, this will be a blow against European democracy

28 April 2014 19:30

Adelina Marini #Juncker: Democracy will be back after the break :)

28 April 2014 19:31

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: It's very easy to address the fears on European level from labour mobility by establishing a scheme without having to use the local social security systems

28 April 2014 19:38

Adelina Marini #Juncker: I won't work or form coalitions with far right extremist parties

28 April 2014 19:39

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: In the EPP there are many eurosceptic parties. Berlusconi said something about Germany the other day. He is a real eurosceptic

28 April 2014 19:40

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt added that Orban, too, is a eurosceptic

28 April 2014 19:41

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt believes illegal migration can be dealt with a formula like the one applied by Canada and US and therefore with a distribution among the member states

28 April 2014 19:47

Adelina Marini #Schulz: We need a European system to tackle migration to which all member states contribute

28 April 2014 19:49

Adelina Marini Schulz: If a pop star is needed as head of the Commission, I'm ready :)

28 April 2014 19:52

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: What does sovereignty mean in today's world?

28 April 2014 19:54

Adelina Marini #EUdebate #Verhofstadt, #Schulz, #Juncker agree that there is a need of develpoing the single digital market

28 April 2014 19:57

Adelina Marini Ska #Keller: it is the member states that are blocking the digital package #ConnectedContinent

28 April 2014 19:59

Adelina Marini #Juncker: Those who criticise the EU for being weak toward #Russia want to go for a war. I don't want a war

28 April 2014 20:03

Adelina Marini #Juncker: #Putin is creating frozen conflicts

28 April 2014 20:04

Adelina Marini #Schulz: More important than asking whether #Ukraine will become a EU member is to find ways to keep the country's integrity

28 April 2014 20:05

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: We can keep #Ukraine's integrity by pushing #Putin out of the country

28 April 2014 20:06

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: Personal sanctions are needed against #Putin's entourage. The Americans sanctioned the oligarchs but lack the guts to do the same

28 April 2014 20:07

Adelina Marini Ska #Keller: We should do everything possible for a peaceful solution and dialogue

28 April 2014 20:08

Adelina Marini #Keller: On the contrary, dialogue works

28 April 2014 20:08

Adelina Marini #Schulz: Diplomatic efforts should begin with the question "Do we have common interests". This is what I want to discuss with the Russians. In the longer term the Russians have no interest in a continuous conflict with the EU

28 April 2014 20:11

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt disagreed with Schulz and called him naive

28 April 2014 20:12

Adelina Marini #Keller: Energy independence can be achieved by amnitious climate and renewables targets

28 April 2014 20:14

Adelina Marini #Juncker: It's not only about #energy dependence but also about political one

28 April 2014 20:17

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt: Common European defense but not against NATO is the only way that we have common foreign policy. He said this answering the question of a Bulgarian from the audience

28 April 2014 20:19

Adelina Marini #Juncker: Soft power doesn't mean a weakness. Strong are those countries that succeed with peaceful means to achieve their goals

28 April 2014 20:22

Adelina Marini #Schulz demanded the mandate for #TTIP negotiations to be published w/ the US. Jnucker said he didn't know about such a mandate

28 April 2014 20:24

Adelina Marini Ska #Keller: The mandate has leaked and can be found on the internet

28 April 2014 20:25

Adelina Marini #Verhofstadt promised, if elected, to ensure equal number of women and men in his Commission. Hm, what will member states think about that when proposing commissioners?

Adelina Marini #FAC #Mogherini on #QMV: We never never in these almost 4 years had a problem with unanimity. I don't exclude in the future this to become a problem but now even on defence we decide with unanimity, even with UK still in. What I can indicate as a problem is the problem of inconsistency. On other issues, yes, indeed
