Martin Schulz is received by Marcel PHILIPP, Major of Aachen, Germany, at the RWTH University. Q&amp;A session with students (12 shots).

SOUNDBITE (German), Martin SCHULZ, EP President, "As a child of this region, from W&uuml;rselen, as Prof. Schwartenberg has raised, to get the Charlemagne Price from you is something that deeply touches me and I'm very thankful for that".

SOUNDBITE (German), Martin SCHULZ, EP President, "According to the proposal made public today by the European Commission and Jean-Claude JUNCKER, the United Kingdom should admit 3,000 refugees. The country has 60 million inhabitants and David CAMERON says 'no'. I would have wished a different outcome in the elections in Britain."

SOUNDBITE (German), Martin SCHULZ, EP President , "The Commission today presented an initiative for a quota system to let more people come through a fairer distribution. I don't know whether you have read the wires or the newspapers, but 4 Member States of the EU have said 'no, we don't want to'. David CAMERON says he will send the Royal Navy to the Mediterranean to rescue people but they'll bring them to Italy: 'they have nothing to do here'."  

SOUNDBITE (German), Martin SCHULZ, EP President , "As of today, I don't know whether there will be a TTIP. But, even if there's no TTIP, a question remains open: how do we regulate global trade? How can we compel a giant like China, with one hundred million displaced workers?"
