Daesh is the enemy of Europe, and Europe cannot live with the idea that the crises that surround it don't have an effect on it.

ISIL struck France because it is 'free' and 'the nation of human rights'. This is not a war of civilisation, as these assassins don't have any. This is a war against the jihadist menace that threatens not just France.

Our enemy in Syria is Daesh: it's not about containing but destroying this organisation.

To resolve the climate crisis, good will, statements of intent are not enough. We are at breaking point.

There must be protection of the external borders.

There cannot be any concessions on the matter of human rights or the criteria for visa liberalisation.

China... has the capacity to ensure its stability and growth.

Everyone must be in the same competitive situation, including on the fiscal level.

When I travel officially... and when I travel on a private basis, I have protection that is less suffocating. But I am protected everywhere.

My security is assured everywhere, and at any moment.

It's not for Germany to decide for the rest of Europe.

When we live longer, we must work a little bit longer.

The real threat comes from terrorism.

France needs to improve training and education and the level of skills of its workforce.

Islamist terrorism has declared war against us, against France, Europe, the entire world.

A compromise appears out of reach on the stripping of terrorists' nationality.

I ask to be judged on the issue of unemployment.

I prefer that people remember me as a president who made reforms rather than a president who did nothing.

I will not give way because too many previous governments have backed down.

If the discussion centres on the essential principle of the E.U., the free movement of people and the ability to make decisions together, in that case, we don't want treaty change.

France wants Britain to remain in the E.U.; indeed, how can we imagine that friendly nation that is our ally and played a role on the international stage could be outside the E.U.?

Everyone must understand that you can't demand solidarity when there's a problem and shirk your duties when there are solutions.

Be happy, be proud, be generous, be respectful, be proud to be French citizens.

I don't know if you can hear me, but I have heard you. I heard your willingness to change. Your force, your hope... and I want to tell you how grateful I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you, people of France.
