European Elections 2014: statement by Joseph DAUL (EPP, FR)

SOUNDBITE (French), Joseph DAUL (EPP, FR), "I am satisfied because we stopped the falling. If the results are good it means that we have at least stabilised participation in Europe, I am not satisfied with the participation, but we have at least stop the bleeding. We have to see how we can talk more of Europe not only six months before the elections, but during the next five years."

SOUNDBITE (French), Joseph DAUL (EPP, FR), "The rise of the extreme right differs from country to country, there is rise in some and fall in others. During difficult moments populist slogans may pass easier. If you look at Valdis Dombrovskis how he managed his country, how he exited from a difficult situation and the result of the voting tonight, it says everything, we have to do politics."
