Catherine Ashton said: "My first priority will be to build the European External Action Service as an efficient and coherent service that will be the pride of the Union and the envy of the rest of the world" "I will draw on the talent that already exists in the European Commission and the Council Secretariat, and welcome new colleagues from our 27 member states to join as well. We need a balanced service that adds value for all of the citizens of the European Union, and that can represent them to the outside world,"

Catherine Ashton said: "The things that we are talking about are these: what is the sort of leadership that we need to have? What does Europe bring that is different to what member states have been bringing sometimes for hundreds of years in their relationships with third countries? How do we do it differently? What is the 21st century foreign policy for the EU?"

Hillary Rodham Clinton said: "Some have looked at the continent even now and seen Western and Eastern Europe, old and new Europe, NATO and non-NATO Europe, EU and non-EU Europe. The reality is that there are not many Europes; there is only one Europe. And it is a Europe that includes the United States as its partner. And it is a Europe that includes Russia. For in this century, security cannot be a zero-sum game. The security of all nations is intertwined. And we have a responsibility to work to enhance each other's security, in part by engaging with others on these new ideas and approaches,"

David Miliband said: "Working with other commissioners and the new High Representative, the External Action Service will encompass the full range of EU experts, helping us to see synergies, spot opportunities, and use the levers we have more creatively from trade policy to aid budgets, soldiers to police, sanctions to electoral monitoring missions,"

Lene Espersen said: "The European External Action Service will be essential in developing a more coherent and visible EU foreign policy. At the end of the day it is all about making sure that the EU speaks with one voice, notably towards global actors such as China and the United States"

Mark Malloch Brown replied: "the purpose of this external action service is not to replace national embassies. What I cannot give the noble lord, obviously, is an assurance that the current footprint of British national embassies around the world will remain exactly as it is for ever. Nor could I, in a sense hypothetically, tell him now what a minister standing at this Dispatch Box some years from now might claim as the reason for opening or closing specific embassies"

Pat Davies says: "Our deliberate, intense efforts on operational improvement and cost reduction have resulted in an overall improvement in volumes and a reduction in unit cash costs. This is particularly true of Sasol Synfuels which is our biggest business unit. Economic conditions however remain challenging, with a stronger rand/US dollar exchange rate and product prices that were significantly lower than the record prices achieved in the prior year comparable period. While there have been some signs of improvements in both demand and prices, we remain committed to further improving operating efficiencies and maintaining cost control throughout the group. We continue to rigorously review our portfolio of projects, keeping focus on capital discipline, in order to position the company for sustainable, long-term profitability and growth"

Christine Ramon says: "Our corporate initiatives to reduce costs commenced and achieved more than R500 million savings in cash fixed costs for the period. This has resulted in cost increases being well within inflationary levels across our businesses. Furthermore, our business improvement plans aim to ensure that our businesses remain resilient and deliver sustainable performance through the cycles. Our cash position remains strong, cushioning the group against short-term volatility and positioning us well for long-term growth. We continue to plan prudently for a slow and volatile period of economic recovery. We will maintain a flexible approach to our capital expenditure programme to deliver long-term acceptable returns to shareholders"

Sergey Stanishev commented: “Everyone, who says a critical word, should be punished. That is why last time when the president made some well-intended recommendations to the government we witnessed such a reaction. According to me, this is unacceptable. People should know it – this is some demonstrative move. If the president can be undermined – I believe he cannot be, as he has always defended his position – and if it is possible to start impeachment over his behavior or punish him in some other way, then the money allocated to the president’s institution should be stopped, the budget should be cut, just like the ideas launched by Finance Minister Simeon Dyankov and the Blue Coalition some time ago… Then, it will be possible for every other person in the country to be undermined, too. This is the goal. They want to show that no one should dare make any sound and that everyone can be punished. We live in times when a police state is being re-established. People get more and more seized with fear”
