You don’t close divergences by taking time off to have a cup of tea. If you do so, you will find that everybody has moved backward in the meantime.

Deadlines have no credibility. What we have to concentrate on is getting the job done.

Fundamentally, it is a question of basic political will.

We are still drifting toward a rock. There is a genuine effort to get the engine restarted but I haven’t heard any engines restarted yet.

We are not in anything that I can recognize as a closing zone.
