"Madam President, I am pleased that Mr Schulz has asked me that.
The difficulty is that when you form an artificial state that has within it more than one language group – which is clearly the case in Belgium – you may, for a period of time, be able to hold it together, but whether it is Belgium, whether it is Yugoslavia or whether it is the European Union, if you have entirely different languages and cultures, it will not hold together. The reason you are so upset about Belgium, and Mr Van Rompuy got terribly upset about it and Mr Verhofstadt never likes it, is that – is this not the truth, Mr Schulz? – Belgium is a microcosm for the whole European project."@en1
