We asked for a solution in dignity. Sigmar Gabriel More Quotes by Sigmar Gabriel More Quotes From Sigmar Gabriel The production of natural resources in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, stable natural hydrological cycles, fertile soils, a balanced climate and numerous other vital ecosystem services can only be permanently secured through the protection and sustainable use of biological diversity. Sigmar Gabriel agriculturediversityecosystems Without sound conservation and management measures, fisheries will quickly become depleted and a basic component of global food security will be lost. Sigmar Gabriel conservationmanagementsound The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense. Sigmar Gabriel nuclearenergyideas Madame Merkel knows very well that her conservative Christian Democratic Union or CDU, and the CSU, the Bavarian sister party to the CDU, with which it shares power nationally, must change their European policies. The FDP's nationalist-liberal position on Europe is presumably one of the reasons the attempt failed to form a Jamaica coalition government which would have seen the CDU, FDP and Green Party govern together. Sigmar Gabriel partychristiantogether Iran is the only country in the world that's threatening to erase another country from the map as part of a collective genocide. Sigmar Gabriel irancountryworld Maybe it is the last chance for Europe to influence standards for world trade. Next it will be between the US and the Asia-Pacific region. Sigmar Gabriel asialastseurope The shadow of an exit of Greece from the euro zone takes on ever clearer shape, repeated apparently final attempts to reach a deal are starting to make the whole process look ridiculous. There is an ever greater number of people who feel as if the Greek government is giving them the run-around. Sigmar Gabriel governmentrunningnumbers Economically and politically, Germany is extremely stable. There are countries with functioning governments whose institutions don't work. My only concern is about Europe. There's a risk we will run out of time. We have been blessed with a pro-European French president, but we are also approaching the next elections for the European Parliament in 2019, and it will be important for pro-European parties present a credible answer to the anti-Europeans on the left and the right.

Even with every conceivable and warranted criticism, the danger always arises that it will be exploited by those who consciously or unconsciously present anti-Semitism in a new guise. Sigmar Gabriel germanycriticismchallenges However, I have a low opinion of people with narrow political horizons. Someone who talks about the environment and knows nothing about economics can make as many mistakes as someone who does the opposite. Sigmar Gabriel oppositesmistakepeople Besides Germany, the only countries that don't have speed limits are places like Nepal, where road conditions are so bad that a limit would be beside the point. In other words, it's a little crazy that this is even a topic for debate in Germany. Sigmar Gabriel crazywould-becountry I'm hearing different things, but there is concern that stable Germany is no longer quite so stable. Sigmar Gabriel concerndifferent Real life is happening outside and not in front of a computer. Sigmar Gabriel computerreallife-is What we have at present is a system of loss socialism. Whatever goes wrong is shouldered by the general public and anything that works is privatised. Worshippers of market freedom have suspended the most important economic principle: Risk and liability go hand in hand. Sigmar Gabriel risklosshands In Germany it is good if as many people as possible join initiatives and peaceful demonstrations against the rule of the financial markets. Worshipping the unfettered freedom of global markets has brought the world to the brink of ruin. We now need social and ecological rules for the market economy. Sigmar Gabriel ruinspeacefulpeople Turkey is currently seeking to make itself more independent from Europe and is turning to the east. Is that in our interest? Does it help us bolster Western values in Turkey, or at least here at home? Or are we making ourselves weaker overall? At the same time, Turkey is violating our European moral concepts. It's a difficult conflict to endure, and it leads to necessary disputes and debates. Sigmar Gabriel independenthomehelping What could become a danger to world peace is Iran's nuclear program and the country's open threat to annihilate Israel.

Sigmar Gabriel engineeringrealjobs But, as environment minister, I am very interested in a thriving German automobile industry, because I can only pay for the rising costs of environmental protection at home and abroad if there are people in Germany with jobs and who pay taxes. Sigmar Gabriel homejobspeople It is clear that there are reasons for discontent in Iran - economic and political reasons. We have told the Iranian leadership repeatedly that the country's economic recovery can ultimately only succeed through greater international economic cooperation. And the precondition for that is not only that Iran refrain from developing nuclear weapons, but also that Iran's role in the region become far more peaceful.
