or tells us why it's so important for all science involved. go through the was chancellor of germany from one nine hundred ninety eight to two thousand and five he's now chairman of the board at nordstrom's russia's new gas pipeline under the baltic sea europe mr further why should the e.u. increase its dependence on gazprom. we're not talking about russia's dependence we're talking about cooperation between russia on the one side and the european union on the other in the energy sector and the stream is viewed as a priority project both by russia and the because it's been part of europe's energy networks since two thousand and six not recognized by the european parliament and the e.u. council of energy. which was and from all appears from problem and ordered from the energy minister to nordstrom pipelines have already been laid what top of the third

one will be added and what will be its capacity we haven't yet i don't know that we currently have at least two pipelines with the total capacity of the fifty five billion cubic me article beat me the question of whether a third or even feel like climate living or that should be answered by european stock holders of as you know we have gazprom in the order and hollins get sunni g.d.s. the same as in germany and yes if we understand only like the investors decide to build a third and fourth pipeline through a privately finals mine we're not talking about states like there's a m b then it could be done i do not know whether they will make such a decision as it was not part of my will and mine of. for and us in brussels wants all russian energy companies not just gazprom to be allowed to export gas to europe what are the implications of that for gas problem and europe. regulator reprovision one is not the issue. and the rest of the nations need gas to sensibly reform that

and. russia on the other hand has to sell gas to keep its budget and so there's a. co-dependency culture is a good thing for jay how to be happy to see european companies invest into russia and european markets open up for what and companies that it's a good free market economy does is good for marc rich what do you think of the recent you raids on gazprom and its partners in europe think about just the all appear gasp i think europeans need gas to feel as has many years is a dog with a political uncertainty in north africa also good to have a stable partner that you can rely on for russia is one of this you know better than anyone else for a space that written recently switched from export to your old partner europe needs a gas supply to maintain a stable mix of energy sources but it's climatic conditions where you want them to get any norway to go outside but also russia's gas therefore i think opening the market up different companies would be all right and of course a shorter name to do some e.u. officials oppose russia whatever it does get us is for though that's most money i

guess it is so we have to admit that what i hope we will get over it it's understandable and says the european union needs russia geopolitically but the reverse is also true it's not a question but with the time has come to start cooperating and stop looking back at an idea or degree difference yet again that misrata could russia switch supply east to china if brussels keeps up its hostility was i listen as it were to your evil minds of which is in a situation where it could ship gas to china and all of asia and europe i hope russia never has to make a choice is the use of the russian government is evidently pro european but europe cannot keep pushing russia away it hurts russians pride about me and we have to keep in mind that while russia has the alternative of shipping to asia europe has no such alternative and europe's geopolitical position look only improved if it manages to enter a tiny hard to ship with russia on and at the same time grant only recession to

turkey that that would be a sound strategy aimed into the future the rest. yesterday's debate unless under is better for the guest or if russia does decide to go east could that mean a gas shortfall for europe. know what's going on happen russia was an exceptionally reliable supplier during soviet times so no one has to worry about that juncture i will say again that you are at all market is incredibly important for russia to keep it logic balance you know other things therefore we're not talking about the kind of a code and it was a good progress in shipping liquefied natural gas. makes europe less dependent on pipelines can that affect this project and. i don't think it would have a negative effect on the project as europe liquefied gas market is quite limited on the move because there's nowhere to sell it in germany or poland has a developing market important is that it's in no way a danger for us and that's not the reason i'm criticizing is the indication that

there are alternative sources of the low spot prices on gas their support deals can be of no more gain than long term supply agreements in a short run they do not offer stability for us to go for. in the wake of the fukushima disaster germany is closing all its nuclear power plants do you support that and how will it change germany's energy mix. have been damaged mind consider this me and my team or the people who would rigidly negotiated that deal with our energy suppliers that we had agreed to make a sensible exit out of nuclear strategy that was followed by a short period when the federal government thought our agreement should be overturned out of court they've since gone the other way and started supporting what i had negotiated on this does not mean bridge technologies like nuclear energy cannot be used until energy efficiency is sufficiently developed that we need gas as an interim energy source for the sake of energy security that's the reason we need to buy gas from new york from other cultures but primarily from russia and the

reason we need to build a gas power station. and morse. with this new debt crisis mr sarkozy says no hero no europe surely europe will survive without the euro zone. and a former english is a quote my successor in office likes to work of course europe is going to have problems if the euro has problems but there's one thing you can be sure of at the end of the euro is going to survive as a common currency even it theoretically things turn out differently which i find very important you think we will still have a united europe it is vital in or plug you would chancellor when greece cooked its books to join the euro should you have stopped athens from joining the single currency club in new. york via i do not think that was our situation of the european commission its employees that had to conduct inspections they had letters know that we could take the responsibility for greece's e.u. a session on ourselves and it was a purely preparatory mission conducted by the european commission and the national

governments if we had made the decision to take greece in we could not claim without having the firm proof that the information we got then was on diplomatically speaking not entirely correct raghav people might keep in mind that the european parliament voted in favor of greece's membership almost unanimously including the conservatives who are now trying to distance themselves from that decision sometimes in politics you don't want to believe things that he wants condoned or actually happening. for unless that was of the commission was wrong or the handling of greece has been wrong since it ended which which is it ends in. it's pointless to talk about how things were in the past we're talking about the future i hope we manage to keep greece in the euro zone so that a half of the new greek government would have to be nonpartizan uninfluenced by debates provoked by right with a number that's on for me i hope the package of aid agreements that european leaders have agreed on it implement package if that's the case then i think we can

start taking care of stabilizing my lucky. with a great deal of help from greece here or there is one point i would like to make the country should not be broken down not only does greece need budget discipline which is of course trivial should what greece needs a new city or investment invest it would be good to see wealthy greek citizens who are currently investing abroad with pay taxes in their own country instead of looking for investment opportunity or so on was a good us thought to bring is there a red line beyond which germans as they we're not going to bail out southern europe anymore or those germany have a historic debt to europe has from it's been there gave about debt i'm not against discussing a red line the problem is that if you start to talk about a red line then you'd eventually have to correct it in germany's interested both politically and economically in a functioning europe that have economic interest is easily explainable you get forty percent of our export goes to the european union and beyond with your eyes if

those countries are hit by a crisis then so is germany secondly or the lesson we learned in the past and our prospects for the future dictate that germany is not strong enough geo politically to play a significant role in a game where the u.s. is one superpower and an asian leader. in this case china is the other new european state it isn't the only a united europe can take on a role like that if that's why germany is interested in a night in the us that is not just because of the past or theater for the sake of our citizens future of that conference a lot of being to small question many germans many people many finns are angry at having to pay. of a role that's enough for it's here i can understand that but i have to explain it very consistently to the current generation of political leaders that it's within our own interests to maintain stability in other countries as germany is a nation that relies hugely on x. here if markets around us crumble it harms us we have to explain to our people the

new generation the prospects for long lasting. peace allies in europe. and when you serve the german chancellor there was no question of receiving financial aid from china or russia directly or indirectly through the i.m.f. do you regret that's happening potentially and what would be the implications if think it doesn't have a dollar do not think we should feel bad about other nations get out stronger be they russians chinese brazilians south africans all indians are it should not concern us because these countries offer us more opportunity to export our products as they develop a victim. but that's only the case if we stay better stay more innovative when we fulfill our agenda of twenty eight and up and sort out our social policies and germany is the only country that understood back in two thousand and three that for an aging country to maintain prosperity as it must provide for chain of i think it i wonder if the rest of the e.u. states having understood this a decade later we'll manage to take the action needed to maintain prosperity eyes

on the other hand we have an understanding that an aging society with a decreasing number of people who are deployed has problems of that so it will be a matter that we started taking care of our problems in time as the rest will regret it and be forced to take on a harder mission when this goes for everyone not just the sound of all bus this but if they've been ignored in gerhard schroder chairman of the board for the north stream gas pipeline thank you for speaking with r.t. . issue is that so much to play there is a huge decision by the market is it all over again at nation's nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. claims in a new report that iran is moving ever closer. a
