whatever else i speak of but i knew anyway i learned another valuable ruins and we don't need we've got and we don't need more regulation and results we need more flexibility more competition and more market economy for small businesses and lots for the big multinational concerns that are your friends and your supporters are likely very briefly the only way to move on one of the key principles and treaty is economic and social cohesion so we have a big market the market is competition there we have to head to small and medium sized companies that is not a problem but. that competition is over here big get bigger stronger and stronger a huge disparities are there thank secretary powell we have to buy do we have politics politics is there to correct a failing as it is not doing it in front of me not doing it and you had a chance we need to have a social cohesion putting c that's what put or i told my you know i'm going to i'm

going to move on because we can i ask one question to mr well because this thing is we are running out of time you so i need to move on yet you believe in the nation state you know this one thousand nine hundred three invention to be the answer to the twenty first century challenges do you think that nation states are actually up to the multinationals like apple if a country like ireland for example has to be obliged by the european commission to living thirteen billion euros in texas never mind microsoft and facebook and all the others i mean that's the world and take you know four and national tax revenue service for the multinational you can't. say listening to other people don't you if you if for the big multinationals the national tax revenue service the actual seven have an issue with respect. alex cross you won the knowledge you are the very are a very very favorite punish going to finish my sentence please for a while so long ago i was just running multinationals you know national tax revenue

service i r like snack and are just shopping around in europe so if we want you to stand up against the big multinationals and make them pay taxes in europe then we have to do that together as a european ok that's why you haven't done it yet and so some extra hundred first thing is you can't explain switzerland on the base on your theory because the people in switzerland they have high wages and they have a high living standards and they have to multinational in country and apart i think very much access to pay taxes and that's a first and second even in the european union they don't pay taxes so obviously something goes wrong with in your view a large space and the point is i agree with you that a customs union need a joint customs and trade policy otherwise it doesn't work but we don't need it on liberal lore we don't need a joint minimum wage and we don't need a joint. all right sides cross thank you. thank you for that we have to move on now and we're going to take two questions together first from richard gardner from

global witness and then leo hoffman x. down from transparency international richard will you go first. thank you very much for the opportunity to speak today my question concerns somewhere where europe is very integrated just the financial system europe is one of the largest global markets in the world this means money from all of the world is flowing in and out of europe on a daily minute by minute basis that means a high likelihood that you financial system is helping to fund human rights abuses to fuel and financial destruction globally also to inadvertently or potentially intentionally funding are fueling and corrupt certain corruption and also money laundering this european parliament did try to do it out of good work and under the guidance of the commission to tackle that but what is your vision of how this parliament can act on this in particular to make sure that european money. it does not fuel environmental destruction which is something critical at this stage should have seen the u.n. report about species this week and also the recent i.p.c.c. one point five degrees and also to make sure that your tackles money laundering

which has been an issue and has cropped ok thanks but i'm going now because we've been taking another question at the same time leo hofmann axtell your question piece for transparency international thank you well in recent years we've not only seen one topic on the e.u. scene we've not only seeing people speak about migration or using the issue for their political goals we've also seen a steady erosion and very very young erosion of the rule of law and of the macwrite the institutions in the member states we've seen direct attacks on the independence of the judiciary we've seen governments threatening media freedom intimidating civil society shockingly we've even seen two journalists murdered for their investigations into corruption the condemnation however from political leaders in brussels has only come if it were governments in the member member states that were ruled by the opposing parties and actually this is not just the case in the so-called law and just this government in poland it's also the case with the

conservatives and hungary it's the case was the socialists and malta and it's also the case with the prime minister bobbish and this conflict of interest was the liberals in the czech republic so my question to you is what do you intend in the next legislature to do about this and i would mainly ask the parties that are expected to something actually do some of these reforms in government thank you ok thank you for your question or for your opinion it is true that the free media were interested in the past in poland i am the best example i used to work as a director of polish public television and i was fired. when civic platform won the election just because my views are conservative i was a member of the party and i was fired so i'm the best example you're right liberals just throw me away i lost my job so you're right the free media where in the risk involved in the past not any more judiciary the difference between german system

and probably system of judiciary is that minister of justice in germany appointing the judges and in poland minister of justice cannot appoint a juggler through. ok by the parliament but they didn't rule but that says it is making by political decisions making by the minister you let me finish let. let me finish so we need an answer on tackling corruption corruption ok money laundering who was the one who was invited to the european poland parliament two weeks ago martin called stuff from the open dialogue foundation and we found out that she is into the money laundering from russia and she was invited by the socialist to be the reporting european parliament ok thank you very much as a society. yeah ok this is very briefly because we're running on a giant migration very bad i think and probably the one thing that the just the only thing that we will ever agree on is that indeed the fact that the european

commission has only dared to target poland. addressing the fundamental rights violations and the rule of law violations is because they're the law and justice party is not a member of the family or any of the other families and that is why i was very honored to be repartee or of a proposal for a brought mechanism to uphold democracy the rule of law and fundamental rights in other words the so-called article two of the treaty values and i am very confident that even if it took some time for the european commission and the european council to come to the. realization that we need such. mechanism i think it will materialize in the next in the next period and that meets all the member states will be sent on the basis of the same criteria on a regular annual basis something the council of europe decided in february an offshoot of the council of europe press freedom in europe is now in

a worse state than at any time since the cold war how worrying is that joe line very briefly very briefly we're running out of time it's absolutely boring because those in power in some countries try to undermine the freedom of press and we have been on top or the new media fake news on a daily basis from morning till morning so we're really in danger to losing from one of our democracies by mechanisms that undermine the really spirit of a decent and really true dialogue and argument it is undermined by those mechanisms from governments in power as well as other powers outside the e.u. right to money political public marks across worries are you about the state of press freedom in europe i'm very worried about because what we've seen now is the attempt of the governments to censor to social networks and to social media and for

instance to show lines party introduced of its factory sets because that's what censorship laure in germany that leads facebook and twitter to to to to block a lot of. speech. you make facebook which is a private owned company to be sen's or the net for which is shameful we have more blocked users of facebook and twitter in germany then we have in russia and you sit here and tell me you are very it about freedom of press and freedom of expression that is a deep live it is typical for your party to see. typical for your part of christians the point is that freedom of opinion is now mostly on the internet they are the people to debate and discuss and governments mostly left wing liberal governments especially the party of children and introduce laws to undermine the freedom of debate and the internet and that's very shameful and this is something that will

end immediately if we get the possibility to do so you bring it through bring freedom but arlynn you know you have twenty seconds our unit shamed by that not at all why not just about the hate speech is not really fall it's the speech being we guaranteed a freedom of speech the truthful pinion but what we see on the internet is really beyond the red lines and you have to have measures to really limited all right we're going to have to leave that question there my thanks to our for panelists and taking questions in the audience and to all of you for watching don't forget there's a longer version of this debate which you can find online for now from all of us on the team here the european parliament in brussels thank you.

the job of the nuclear deal is still in place. but today we will flip and show the other side of the coin. they've made a number of statements about actions that threaten to do. get the world to jump. we'll see what they actually do as it will wake up to observe that they need to be very clear that if they don't comply there will be consequences that i should do instead we expect our colleagues first of all european ones and volunteers to find a solution to the problem created by the americans to fulfill their obligations. that it is obvious that the americans intend to have a destructive approach does shadow it almost it. also coming up election day in south africa twenty five years ago hope for voters
