Earlier today, European Council president Herman Van Rompuy received the International #Charlemagne Prize. In his speech, he spoke of the the EU as a home for everybody:
"It is urgent for the Union not to be seen as only benefiting businesses, but also employees; not only the ''movers'', but also the ''stayers''; not only those with diplomas and language skills, but all citizens; and people not only as consumers, who like cheap products and a wide choice, but also as workers, who can see in others, competitors for their jobs."

I am honoured to have received the International #Charlemagne Prize in Aachen today. This prize goes beyond me personally. I see it as a recognition of the courageous work of EU leaders & institutions fighting the financial crisis:http://ow.ly/3l67hb. #Karlspreis
