„Wie Sie, finde ich es äußerst wichtig, dass sich die jungen Menschen für die Entwicklungen in Europa interessieren und sich politisch einbringen. Gleichzeitig müssen wir aufmerksam auf diese Generation hören, da sie wohl am stärksten von der Eurokrise betroffen ist.
Seien Sie versichert, dass ich Ihr Papier [das EuroPaper] als Grundlage für meine Argumente in den Debatten über Bürgernähe, Nachhaltigkeit und Bildung nutzen werde.“
