"I spoke with Gerhard SchrÃ¶der about a lot of things, including foreign policy. SchrÃ¶der knows how important European policy is to me personally. I have worked together with Angela Merkel on European policy for many years, so I was surprised when Volker Kauder who has little experience in European policy, claimed that I had not represented German interests in Europe. That's an example of how the conservatives conduct an election campaign."

-- Martin Schulz
