La dichiarazione Schroeder

"From the European Commission, we should make a government which would be supervised by the European Parliament. And that means the United States of Europe. In the crisis lies a real opportunity to achieve a political union in Europe" (Gerhard Schroeder, Cancelliere della Repubblica Federale di Germania dal 1998 al 2005, in un'intervista a Der Spiegel del 4.9.2011)
