President of the Bundestag : Schäuble calls for EU Reform

President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU) has spoken out in favour of the principle of unanimity for EU decisions to abolish. "The principle of unanimity means that the Slowest anything can block," said Wolfgang Schäuble on Monday in rbb-info radio. "That's why we need a System of majority decisions, qualified majority decisions." In the "Europe party, the CDU/CSU" is not going to fail such a Reform for sure.

The CDU-politician said in addition to transfer parts of the national financial and economic policy to the European institutions. Only if successful, could also be a EU Finance Ministers will be introduced. "As long as you don't have that, it makes a Finance Minister alone also makes no sense," said the former Federal Minister of Finance. This was "only a Symbol that has no skills".

"need A European Finance Minister, a European budget, needs European revenues, and needs, of course, corresponding skills," said Schäuble.

Schaeuble also stressed the importance of the upcoming European elections: "If the result in Europe would be a choice that the European Parliament would have a strong minority or even a majority of Euro-sceptic MEPs, so the members who are not for European Integration, then of course that would be for the European Union is something very Fateful," he said.
