you have to look at all of the m.f.f. containers. to deal with short medium and long term strategic challenges with this massive injection of boost the 750000000000 euros to help economic recovery but also to help transform the souping project 19 has hit us but even before the commission parliament the council had thought that it was time to relaunch and transform europe with. climate change at the heart of it and 33 percent of the effort of the recovery for have to be tied to these climate ambitions and we've followed up on what we intended to do before this all started and i see with great conviction that these decisions we've taken will transform the long term way the

face of europe the questions of the text that has been agreed on the rule of law has improved. it's a very clear in the document a very clear commitment to the rule of law and a very clear commitment to the protection of the financial interests of the union. and this is linked against this background to the fact that the commission has proposed that instrument under which in case of breaches measures will be adopted so there is a very clear link a reference to adopting or the voting will be by qualified majority voting and finally we will also introduce instruments to strengthen the controls of the e.u. funds so there is more clarity there is more distinction in the texts and the very clear reference which was important not only to the rule of law but also to the protection of the financial interests of the union and what the overall package is

concerned and your question on the priorities for the european union it has it is an unprecedented size and scope of package that we have 1.8 trillion and the importance here is that the whole next general election aeration you package of 750000000000 is composed in a way that the national recovery plans will be aligned with the european priorities that is the european green deal that is the digitization at this resilience transmitted through the country specific recommendations so we have a very strong true will know that we can work together with the member states on not only the recovery but at the same through the investment leap forward into

a more sustainable a greener and more digitized future we want to build was a modern single market so this is a unique opportunity to modernize the european union. thank you the next question is for david heston whoredom from politico. much current good morning presidents president michelle i wonder if you could address the concern that president founder line just raised calling it regrettable that leaders had to cut some of the most innovative parts of the m.f.'s also that. you had to persist in the rebates which some people feel are sort of a budget gimmick in getting agreement here and if there was a moment in this for you president michel when throughout the summit what was the key moment when you had a deal and for president funny line a lot of this package obviously will be in national plans the grants was.

issue of disagreement your mind how do you envision member states best using these grants in concrete ways obviously it's not like rebuilding from an earthquake or from a war it's a different type of recovery in a concrete way what do you envision the best national recovery plans might look like thank you. the research very strong political will on the table of the european council to to act to act in other to deliver because. we are trained of inst that climate change that innovation that the supports for the tournaments for example cheat to develop a very strong program in this decision the m.f.f. and the recovery feel and we have the tools we have the means in other to tackle those important challenges for for the future it's also important to to observe

that despite it is huge if you compare if you compared to decipher of europe of the open g.d.p. also important to for jets to do we can always try to g. will also be developed at the national level its means that european union you use we send a very strong signal we are so that we are robust and we are united and mother never we need to be united and we need to be strong in order to face this of you should crises. so to your question reforming. concerning the part how i envisaged will make sure that the investment goes in the right direction the program is the recovery and resilience facility is a step in a way that is very clear 1st of all it's voluntary so

a member states can choose to come forward with a national recovery plan. but it has to be aligned with the european semester and they're the country specific recommendations and the country specific recommendations address the vick weaknesses or deficiencies in their member states that should be improved where things should be reformed and they were always very interesting but did of not always have the necessary. effect in the member states because it was up to them to implement them or not now this instruments has a new punch because the european semester is now connected to an enormous amount of grants or potentially loans so there's way more punch behind the country specific recommendations and the knesset

e to respect the principles of the european green deal and of the digitization as i said the priorities of the european union we can make sure that this will be implemented in a proper way because there will be milestones where you have a look where the miles of have been reached and then the necessary investment that the payments will be dispersed so there's a very clear plan to have the balls the tool goals on the one hand the recovery of the member state but on the other hand to make sure that it's at the same time a modernization of the member states. thank you next question is for some fleming from the financial times. good morning by car from on the question on these on rebates. the

clearly the rebates and the german chancellor angela merkel and french president in mind when they're co are also expected to give a press conference in just a couple of seconds time and we'll have a listening. nothing really what happened and of the past few months we've been able to overcome many obstacles this plan this budget. will enable us to tackle the many challenges on health and the economy all of the different challenges that we have to face and had we not done this it would have meant to have only in a few months and in a few years i'd have to spend even more now there are areas where we've been able to reach great things. for example climate and climate the green deal that was adopted only a few months we've also stood up for traditional areas such as agricultural policy

for example that was stabilized. and this is about food security food safety and food self-sufficiency the and cohesion policy that women take and also has the future policies as a chance as has outlined have been increased in value and i'd like to in conclusion highlight what i consider to be the most important matter we have actually. made an enormous step forward a very important step forward after many many years of joint cooperation we've been able to reach the stage of maze of that and 2018 where we laid the groundwork for a common effort it's this recovery fund that is based on european solidarity is indeed a historic change and historic step for europe this is the 1st time that. we have

not been able to set up this. budget capacity at this level with new projects and also the perspective of trying to. own resources this means that we have a joint responsibility because there is obviously also a timeframe for repayment and we don't want to future generations too bad the brunt of this effort. so a speedy payment will be necessary and this will enable us to master to tackle the social and economic and environmental challenges of the hitcher. and he said at a son. of the. hello good morning happy can hear me. president chancellor. this agreement as you say is

a historic agreement the through goals have been given a crap you have made great concessions to the few girls do you not regret having to make that because it's just of such magnitude no i don't regret that as the chancellor i think one needs to say to see that i'm no group of countries which was not exactly as he was yes sick about this new method of co-operation they would have liked guarantees and months and not loans. that we have now come to a reserve where we have a little bit more. grants and guarantees i think is the right response to this pandemic and that means to have readiness to strike a compromise and we've done that we think that we've acted responsibly in agreeing on these compromises and they have enabled us to do the right thing on the whole and those. countries that have been. receiving concessions are also those who will

later on pay and the largest amount of. grants for those can to those countries who have been most affected it is a painful compromise in many ways germany has decided not to completely participate in this. and to desist from using it completely that is our contribution as the largest economy in the whole it was responsibly. that. well the nat pair country is. of a certain level have asked for rebates. so there has been discussion of course and this was about the fact that there's always there will always been a pay as any subpoenas we are not contributors to this budget. but there have always been these differences and it was always but always tried to somewhat of set

them and equalize them but it was our ambition to make a compromise possible and so that it was necessary as the chancellor has said. to make compromises just remember where we've come from only a few days ago some of our partners said we're basically against completely against taking up common loans. and that this was possible in many ways is the most historic progress in parent in this agreement secondly many have accepted that and said well if we take a common loans we cannot accept to give guns they were completely against guns but now all parties have accepted that and conclusion that were for very little money maybe not 0 but after 2 days and nights we were at $250.00. 1000000000 now we're much much closer to the.

original volume 390000000000. these compromises that have been accepted to limits and excessive contributions by some and to be able to rally the whole of the european found family behind this agreement and i think they were necessary these compromises it was necessary to come to a good level of this recovery fund at this hour in this crisis piece i would like to remind the journalists please use this virtual blue and if you want to ask a question now and gossip from the german press agency. good morning. and a question addressed to the translator can you tell us this morning and that this new rule of law mechanism will enable you to cut funding for poland and hungary for example if they are to limit freedom of the press and freedom

of opinion and can you say what hungary needs to do in concrete terms for ending the article 7 a procedure and a question addressed to the president can you tell us why you have not been able to convince the chancellor of foregoing the german rebate. i think the challenge be beta is part and parcel of a balanced agreement and there is no need at all. to that. you can clearly start from the assumption that we have not asked the same volume of rebates as only others in order to make a compromise possible but we were able to do quite a lot for the new germany and now you know that the legislative act is debated at the commission table out it's. debated in the council it needs to be adopted with

a qualified majority and this we have need to continue to work on this legislative act we've also said that in the european council we will seize. we will be seas was a matter if there are still open questions. in our conclusions we are committed to on the one hand upholding the. accepting the principles of financing in the european union and safeguarding it and also upholding other principle of respect for rule of law. for. respecting rights basic rights and. we refer to this but i must say that i refused to single out one or 2 countries that may be of land fall under this legal act and then such as to act this is a general and what sort of stepson carrying government has to take in order to

bring this article 7 procedure to such a level that it can be debated and agreed on in the council well the prime minister of and has said to me at that he wants to bring this a conclusion that he doesn't want this to be hang in the air and we will support hungry in doing that but obviously the crucial steps will have been taken by hungry . well on the rebate because one can regrets that the principle of rebates has not been maintained here in the budget but then one would have to change the underlying philosophy completely one would have had to start with this in favor of ready but we concentrated on the priorities that is to say the crisis and the recovery and the whole of the rebates are also the german rebate was part and parcel of this negro negotiation dog. and with germany nothing has changed and

the whole world what that we have done in these 4 days and nights together with a chance that was to convince other countries of it and i'm telling you this as a fact germany has accepted not to increase the rebate which means germany has accepted that the natural event is actually hua and france also accepted that for the 2 of said movie 8 of the others. i have are going some of it i'm so the reality is that france and germany and italy and other countries have actually accepted to finance a transfer of dynamism. in the direction of the biggest night piers in order to convince them that this is a good budget and to comes compensate something that they felt was not so attractive so. you see that is not only a clear tribute to european solidarity it is also something is most important on the basis of our initiative. actually taking up loans together and also

having transferred solidarity mechanisms that didn't exist in the past that was the most important thing it was only possible because we together accepted to finance it so that's something that i needed to remind you of at this point in time. a month from politico when asking this question. good morning good morning president good morning madam chancellor and congratulations on this agreement. mr president you say that this fight for most of the darity. is also an attempt. at shying to identify what the year is just a market or is indeed a political project. some. may well feel that this victory in

a way. is time ish by the fact that you had to make so many concessions what you reply to these people those who are disappointed in what. actions do you have the impression that here and your partners are. actually a well for one needs to do in order to come to. in order to make you turn your of into a geopolitical force me i would not say that this victory is time issued by the commission concessions that we made 27 member states around this table and we were able to set up a common budget which other a european which other political entity or which other political area is able of doing that yes it is an obvious road that manesar travel it's not perfect it is very difficult but there is no perfection because there are so many. diverse.

standpoint so many opinions philosophies. so many differences and i also said that there are certain areas as. well maybe of well we have difficulty here to understand each other but i am going to matter i myself we have been able to bring this matter forward because we've seen time and again and that is questions we had with us what they were humans were and we were able to reconcile those use in the end we've come to an agreement. on something that for many wasn't actually a natural. agreement we've traveled a long way politically speaking and philosophically and personally speaking about a long way and i hope that that we can convince everyone that this is dark moment. in europe says treatment requires you to go and to make an additional effort. we have set up

a budget and it's something that sometimes in one's political and personal life that you have to find the necessary means in order to address such a challenge and also to meet each other halfway you have to offer something in return for something that the other person of his you want to have access to said mechanisms. for example on governance we needed to have a different mechanism we haven't talked about this and also using this money i mean money in a way is a means to make it possible for people to have exchanges. among each other it's not a perfect means but there is no perfect world. we have been able to make progress. and to. and compromise is invariably lead to not having 100 percent of what you originally intended to get out of and it is here but historically speaking this budget this dynamism that we have created.

this budget will make it possible to have national people building recovery programs for frances is 40000000000 euros it will enable the individual countries to really make progress and it will change the life of fellow citizens in europe that shows you buttin solidarity that's the important thing for me was french president a man i might call addressing journalists there in brussels and we're now joined by our own correspondent deborah correspondent terry scholz standing by in brussels who has been following these negotiations and terry everybody is talking about as tory a deal has been made what can you tell us about the details. well we're just getting the final details i will have to go through the numbers myself but what we do know is that they managed to compromise primarily on this recovery package which we've

been debating for for so many days now and this this was a compromise between those countries known as the frugal who initially wanted there to be no grants and everything to be made as loans to those countries hardest hit by coronavirus and in the end it turned out that they were able to get $390000000000.00 euros in grants which means that the money will be borrowed on the markets by the european union backed by the european union and will not need to be repaid by those countries that something that was was very controversial but then again countries like italy spain and greece are saying do not add to our debt load you know you would just be making it worse for us so this is something that was pushed very hard by the team of france and germany chancellor merkel and president mccaughan and as you just heard those 2 leaders came out and said that this is an historic deal that will allow those countries to rebuild you've also got the 7 year budget and one thing that was very important in this in this these negotiations was

that for the 1st time there will be a link to rule of law that means that there will be a process in the contained within the budget that if countries are seen to be abusing the democratic values of the european union there will be a procedure by which. the payments can be suspended and a process in vote to see whether they deserve to continue receiving these funds from the european union so those are 2 very important points. and thank you so much that was terry scholz reporting in brussels about the historic deal that they use struck just now after 4 days of negotiations and that's all thanks a lot for tuning and i'm going if i must time for at the top of the hour.
