CHRISTINE LAGARDE (IMF) on BBC TV:
You know where … where I see the strongest connection is when I talk to my children - they are you know in their mid-twenties - they feel very much French, but they feel Europeans. Many of their friends are going on those
Erasmus programmes, moving from one country to the other without border checking points for Europeans, using the same currency when they are within the Eurozone, and that’s … we regard that as a given, as a … you know it’s granted. Well when I look at the seventieth anniversary of D-Day, it wasn’t granted in those days and I think we should highly value the journey that our grandparents, parents have taken for us, and be a bit inventive about how we build the future.
