what secrets lie behind the smallest. of find the to be experienced and explored fascinating cultural heritage sites. d w world heritage for 60 get the. league. lead. player to. play. i was thought it was the shadow of the spending of life of europeans the sort of sort of unspoken agreement but that seems to be crumbling.

we reporters out traveling to fix the country in some way borders have vanished or new ones are about to pop up and what governments foreign thing you hear wherever they can but they still take the issues money. to. play ok ok but wait a minute this is a good example of how europe could why i'll tell you more about that in a minute. it's made in europe. when the bad weather and berlin becomes i'm bearable remember southern europe this much fall away you can take a cheap flights and. that's the e.u.

i know. this but. a few hours later and i'm on the beach in fargo in the south of portugal i could just stay here for wanted to get a job or start a business but for people who are not e.u. citizens it's much harder the union may be softening internal borders but one is still quite difficult to cross the external border. gazing across the atlantic towards home towards morocco. every child heard that from his dad one day that my thought on the other side of the sea there is europe with spain if portugal you should work really hard in order to be served heard and had to go there. sign a sell out of us has made it at least in the eyes of moroccan fathers. has founded

a company here in portugal one which helps other non europeans to do the same. i imagine that's incredibly difficult to move to the e.u. and set up a company all the paperwork must be very confusing if you aren't from here. and i said are us knows just how frustrating it can be that's why he developed an online platform that allows others to register a company with a mouse click even if they currently on another continent. honestly it's very hard to enter printer from any african continent that europe is bad yeah europe has its pros and cons as every other continent but still these intrapreneur they want to grow they want to access bigger markers they want also to have a better social life and to. international experience. talking

about international experience certainly has plenty of it he's only 33 years old but his c.v. is longer than many twice his age as a child he traveled a lot with his parents and that left its mark on him to begin with he became a jet pilot for the american army. then he moved to south korea to work in space research. he later headed up large construction projects in japan indonesia qatar and canada before managing business in the middle east for a german company. it's a matter of if you want something badly you. can just have to educate yourself right now like knowledge is everybody has access to the internet even in african countries so you have to have to educate yourself and you have to go after a portrait is a very kind of spirit certainly fits well with portugal

a country that's super start up friendly especially capitalist but when it's raining great. a recent study shows this relatively small city has become europe's 5th largest stop for startups you need the hype. as an entrepreneur and a startup lobbyist without the hype and the attention it generates it's hard to build a momentum to do something like this here. she 1st company factory is converting an old military building into a huge office space for tech companies she works closely with the portuguese government which has launched a major push to attract tech companies and start ups a new business visa makes entering the country easier for the european entrepreneurs. if they asked me how best to do it so we set up an online application process and did all the administrative stuff and then just let the people come to basically see how it would work other european countries spent. far

too much time thinking about something before actually putting it into action in the form of money so far only around 60 startup founders have used the visa since the program was launched with no. real strong marketing efforts from the government if you want to. like. these youngsters in other countries but when what they're when you have to go and talk to them and help them come here. alice l.r.s. sees that as his task offering others the opportunity to follow in his footsteps because a border shouldn't be an obstacle to a good idea. reporting from portugal has shown me that the advantages of being in the e.u.

are basically reserved for those who live in it and those advantages that not arise overnight. the myth of europe europa a beautiful princess in greek mythology carried to crete by a god wearing the form of a bull a figure that stands for the diversity of the continent that bears her name europe's history has been one of bloody wars until free trade helped cement a lasting peace but the european idea is losing support in some quarters. the e.u. is the largest trading bloc in the world in terms of economic output it ranks behind the united states was ahead of china member states share a common currency the euro but not all countries benefit to the same extent from the union germany for example and 3 times as much as italy with intra e.u. exports there are no border controls within most of the block and no custom stairs

e.u. citizens can live and work in any country and sell goods and services there but there is a huge divergence in income and living standards across the block average wages range from 4 to 43 year old is an hour and solidarity it's crumbling the british want to keep out eastern europeans while hungary the czech republic and poland have refused to take in their share of refugees the e.u. has an image problem many europeans see it as detached technocratic and practically run by lobbyists but much has also improved rules about the shape of cucumbers are long gone the european commission now employs fewer civil servants than the city of munich but europe still gets blamed for things that go wrong for many in britain an argument for leaving the union. europe could dare to be so much more a united states of europe with a common fiscal policy and wage equality. but many want the opposite and are happy

to see poor oprah carried away. a normal t. shirt can easily travel 20000 kilometers before ending up in a shop but it doesn't have to be their way from start to finish my home grown homemade fully european t. shirt only travel a fraction of that my 1st stop was in lubec germany. slender still around the chain of clothing but he rejects the basic principles of the fast

fashion industry. faster cheaper ever greater volumes that is not what he is interested in. me against me the most important thing for me is that nobody gets exploited and that we protect the environment we only have this one world there are going to the end of the. in order to reach isn't vicious goals he follows a strict policy. there are many sustainable fashion brands but we differ from most of them in that we try to do things entirely within europe from the raw materials to the finished article we aim to do it all within our region and by that i mean the european union. to. fashion made in europe the single market should make it really easy bright i'm going to check that out for myself. and retrace this production across europe the

1st stretches shot just a few kilometers to silence headquarters and warehouse. this is where the online shop is managed new collections are designed. and the stance is made to print t. shirts. it's also the last stop before my new shirt is delivered. from here i set off with this wendy's to lower to poland. in which he has his own factory with a staff of 10 there you can set his own standards most month but we really have to ship a piece of clothing 20000 kilometers around the world at it if it is of course much

much cheaper to manufacture in asia you've got over there i can't exert any influence. on these bikers. in terms of body i'm too slow can't compete with the fast fashion produce outside the e.u. but still this location does serve advantages. in and around which there's an entire infrastructure for the textile industry and it takes 2 to make clothes you need more than fabric and thread you also need buttons but i works knitting factories all you need lots more as well things like zips it's much more fun as you can get all of that right here this year. this is where my t. shirt takes shape it's cut from dyed hair break song together. high end and packaged. nearby is the knitting needle where threat is turned into fabric. then it's tied at the same company.

producing in poland guarantees at hearings to e.u. environmental. and that's and the distance to sirens factory is minimal. retracing my shirts path now takes me to greece that's where the cotton comes from . greece produces 80 percent of the copy grown in the european union but that accounts for less than one percent of global production most of the cotton used in europe is imported from far away. the company but that source just thinks differently the family owned gun producer uses cotton from local farms but that isn't cheap. my t. shirt cost about $20.00 europe's that's a lot more expensive than a comparable t. shirt from fast fashion industry. and credit quality has its price and if we're not prepared to pay for it as european citizens then someone in asia pays

a price for us namely in the form of work for low pay in accordance with the fast fashion logic of producing more and faster so that we can pay less is a problem the bubble vessels company has to contend with that's just the reversal of recent years it has to do with high production costs and with the asian competition which often is much lower price is. we are working on it the idea is to keep our entire production inside europe and be transparent about it out and that ensures that. more transparency about how close are made and at what cost can help make consumers across europe more aware of the issues and that might inspire them to buy more products made nearby. my new t. shirt demonstrates that things can be done differently. fair fashion made in europe . i got up at 4 30 in the morning.

flew to london. changed airports there. in order to fly to a place between borders a place full of millionaires. it's jersey u.k. i'll explain that asterisk later. literally every single ad i've seen since i stepped off a plane is of a financial. it's what jersey has become famous for financial services look by the island's tax haven status. to finance industry has made its presence felt everywhere. the people suffer. and continue to suffer. if nothing is done. something

for what like not all of jersey's 100000 inhabitants are profiting from the island's tax haven status but how did it come about in the 1st place. well jersey used to be a quiet island that lived from agriculture and tourism most people had nothing to do with finance. but jersey isn't just any old british island. it's a crown dependency meaning it's under the direct sovereignty of the british crown the union is everywhere but that doesn't mean jersey is part of the u.k. . confusing rights it means it has its own government and makes its own laws one of them is 0 tax policy on almost all companies and jersey has one company for every 3 people and over 330000000000 euros of funds under

administration. they say of rich people around the world we say that. that's what we did get it that's jeff suppan he's one of the few open critics of jersey's tax policies this is joe morning hand he's the chief lobbyist for the finance industry he wouldn't put it that way increasingly international business wants to be based in jurisdictions or wants to use jurisdictions that are well regulated and well respected and we would certainly meet all those requirements well it's working apple based to have its subsidiaries in jersey from 2015 to 16 allegedly to save billions of euros in tax and nobody knew until the paradise papers sprouted to light we have strange information with the authorities that need to know. on what basis should everybody know about that business when it isn't hard and to confidentiality as long as one is is is not breaking the law this system

attracts wealth and the wealthy people as a result living costs have skyrocketed in the past year. and average terms. about 600000 euros but prices can reach into the millions that average annual wage $44000.00 euros and the tax base also means that the government is slowly running out of money to pay civil servants for example. we've lived through the last. 34 years with austerity policies will stop we've got a tremendous gap between the rich on one hand and the poor. behind the shiny facades of government statistics show that one in 5 islanders find it difficult to cope financially. that's why people like pat lucas are striking. in the last 3 weeks 2 different

teachers have said that their families are having to help them with money how many banks do you need we certainly need and. we need people unless they are all considered and treated properly and paid properly they won't be there. the teachers have been holding strikes since january and there's no end in sight. somewhere on the way to becoming an island for the rich jersey seems to have neglected its own average citizens.

i'm off to hungary in southeast europe that has been a member of the e.u. since 2004. it's both cosmopolitan and inward looking. the mood is volatile but nobody really wanted to talk about it with me. i'm not going to talk about the politics well i don't really like to talk about politics because it's not and i thought that here. hungary is also facing a serious brain drain young people are keen to leave disheartened and unwilling to endure the political situation and corruption.

you know the fire problems and the current government but there. was some hunger ariens tried to get out people from outside the european union are keen to come in to find work and have a better life. on the have to. try to motivate myself every day. i have a dream. things that i want to achieve. ok i think that's why i'm here. to i just want to regular life. thought someone had a way into it. and generally 29000 down here cause my bid farewell to his home country serbia and headed straight for the e.u. he felt he had no choice at all he wanted was to earn more than 250 euros a month

a temporary employment agency brought him to hungary as a serb he's allowed to work here for 2 years he got a job with a german car parts supplier b.o.'s assembling roofs for audi companies here are desperate for people like danny are. going there and i think it would be quite easy to find another job there's a lot of work in hungary and not only here but in the rest of the e.u. as well. hungary's labor shortage runs through all sectors the us fields it is specially. developing new product ranges is a complex task and impossible without foreign labor. at the same time wages are climbing repartee. to keep workers at the company even for a few months managing director gad fish bar has to offer

a pretty good deal. we had to pay 30 percent more in 2017 this year we also saw a double digit percentage jump if you don't keep up with the going rate you don't get any workers b.o.'s employs over 2000 people in hungary some $300.00 of whom are temporary workers either from inside the country or abroad despite the generous pay hikes only free out of $10.00 workers stay with the company for long many hung guerin's consider their wages too low and move over to austria but they'd rather not say so on camera when we talk a lot to our employees and hear how dissatisfied they are with the various health care systems and schools and so on it's clearly got worse over the years there's been a lot down your costume or has decided to stick around he'll try to keep moving up the ladder to send more money to his family in serbia 450 euros

a month is all he keeps for himself. cause maher lives in the outskirts of marshawn my yard over not far from the austrian border. although he is not an e.u. citizen he still could move on and earn higher wages if he got a job offer elsewhere. he shares a 15 square meter room with 2 friends from serbia but 3 of them came to hungary together. instant coffee and cigarettes other small luxuries they allowed themselves. to go to a good many of their conversations revolve around the home they left behind. it's hard to be here when everyone else is back home. and it's just the 3 of us here. we've made some new friends but all my old friends my brothers and sisters

the entire family they're on serbia and ways on our hearts. brothers will soon be joining him here in hungary they too are willing to make the change for higher wages. and i'm sure a lot of the time i really do feel like an outsider here and that makes it pretty tough i mean there. might i guess that i'll just have to get used to it. marginalized but with more money in his pocket for 10 years. i says at least for now. i think it's incredible what people are prepared to do to get into their. lives so much we haven't shown you we should set off again straight away. the fish. fish. fish.

fish. fish. fish. fish. food.
