the world trade organization are for almost twenty years memberships expect to bring both incentives for business and investment as well as some tough competition to. trade commissioner talks next. you trade commissioner called the goodies in geneva to welcome russia into the world trade organization he warns it comes at a time when the euro crisis threaten the world with recession mr de gucht leaders are insulting each of the euro's fall into a new lows how worried are you about this stage of the euro debt crisis i see that . people some people continue to fing that. sooner or later we will have serious problems with the euro and that's obviously influencing the debate but this is

simply not true i mean the euro is going to continue there to stay and europe will do everything that's a seed to preserve the european union it's not a matter of choice you know it's not a matter of having different turn of this very clear cut political decision you know is there to say full stop nicolas sarkozy's just call david cameron an obstinate kid while e.u. leaders getting personal lives not up to me to make comments on what president sarkozy is saying but generally i think one should avoid to become personal in that kind of discussions these are difficult discussions for everybody we're going through a tough time and so let's keep cool i mean. i would say don't get personal britain's credit rating should be downgraded before it's do you agree with them when you look at the financial position. of great britain it's not better than the

let's say consolidated position off of the european monetary union obviously not. the difference is of course that there you have a state with a central bank that is a lender of last resort and that makes a difference look at what the situation of of the dog. i mean and look at the debt situation in the united states it's also certainly not better than the european one nevertheless they don't have problems to borrow money on the international financial markets for exactly the same reason you know and i think we should learn from that and go in the direction of. mutual izing did that then you will see the interest rates going down to see the european central bank should also intervene vigorously and make it clear to the financial markets that only speculation it's also fear that banks that is in the markets there is no reason for that. ten billion dollars through the i.m.f. to help the e.u. with its debt crisis what will play in the e.u.

to me this feels that everybody so old states have an interest that. nothing dramatic happens with the ural because europe is the biggest economy in the world you know so everybody has a clear interest in that so it's not by accident that for example a couple of weeks ago the fed the reason the. the british national bank. switzerland to japan. were taking together with you to be a central bank were taking concerted efforts to put liquidity in the markets the inside some by accident because obviously this is of major concern to everybody in the world and russia being only our neighbor but also being the major source of energy to europe which means that their biggest and probably also their best

clients they have an obvious interest in not letting degrading the european economy the united states thinks exports to russia can double over the next five years off . how much can you expose to russia will also go up i see several. big advantages in russia becoming a member of the w t o. for example it is part of those accession conditions it's. a completely new set of rules which respect to specify which respect to feature sentry norms for a for food is also very important what we having concluded to subject to the old the motive sector where russia had been taking a you know that the measures and now well that we have come to and to a compromise on the that certainly contributes to more trade although i see. is that russia it will be possible to attract more foreign capital because.

their access into the double theo will. give them assurances they were in a. legal environment that is more transparent than it was so that it was before so i expect to. trade for pressure to rise considerably some economists think countries have put in meaningless barriers to stop russia joining the w how fair has the process been i haven't been active in this file for the last eighteen years have been. steering the process for the last six months let's say. and this i believe fair negotiations yes i mean some time stuff and they go with a view by both parties to get to a result they're also major interests at stake you know it's not a chat of course it's a negotiation but i believe that they were fairly treated and they were also asking

us to be year let's say lenient in them for example in the automotive sector was not easy to come to decision because there was this new scheme with a very high level of local content and so on so it was not easy i think it's a fair deal you know and once you have a concluded to deal you should stop discussing the content of the ones that is a deal is a deal and then you execute it many russians think they've made too many concessions in agricultural industry to join the w how can you show them that's not the case it's certainly not true that they made. too many concessions. we know we already know. russia is a big market for our agriculture products and that has to see also with the fact that they cannot. add to the demands on their own they cannot so they do not produce the necessary food and vegetables and before they own population but there

is no reason that they could not develop that industry no the same with cars they have to renovate their whole automotive industry because it had become its i believe that it is agreement that we have been making will result in more than the industry but of course we have been negotiating in a way that also our own interests are protected that's where they go sation is about you have to negotiate having in mind your own interest but also having and by then also the other party needs to find its interest in the negotiation because if not. even if you were to conclude a negotiation it would never be a fruit it's america's jaxon van to commend both favorable trade relations with russia it's been called a relic of the cold war should washington now get rid of it it's up to the united states to decide that but. i believe such a move. would have quite some to action on the hill is the european union along

with the united states this fall the most complaints against china since it joined the world trade organization will should be treated any differently we treat everybody exactly in the same way i mean. when we get the complaints. we analyze it very carefully and then we take a decision and whether it's china or russia or even the u.s. that doesn't make a difference i mean once there is a problem we take action and i think we should do that and we do it in what i say almost. i wouldn't call it automatic but a very much. rules based approach. so we are not so. looking for four victims all enemies i mean we are not interested in that game so for us it's to say whether it's china or russia and only us when china's trade with the jump it's almost three hundred percent in the ten years that it says it joined . how much do you expect russia's trade with the e.u. to go up by isn't exactly the same i believe. because. the

chinese have been doing. from a historical point of view this is tremendous is developing an economy which is very much across the board. russia's economy yes and much more focused on a more limited number of sectors and i think it really depends upon russia which direction they take him to take the direction off more than lies in their economy being involved also in new sectors and probably the agreements to get into the field will be more food for them but that's up to them energy prices in russia are much lower than in the e.u. how would this be resolved we have. a scheme in session. whereby they will have to go to market prices over time. so that is not only is only by the way but once you are member of that you know you

have to go to market prices and you cannot have a pricing you trade commissioner karel de gucht thank you for speaking with l.t. . twenty years ago just country. to. see what had been picked to teach began a journey. where did it take them.

their noses in front of a misplaced pass in the zone and then i'm sure to be income made the most of his chance netting to go however russia kept attacking the goal was in the air and then equaliser was just a matter of time he got there from rifle decisive mix lead shot in the top corner on a powerplay a minute and a half into the second period and the red machine took the lead to bunning deny that like some of the bidders organs a wrist shot from the blueline but i think i was alone in front of the empty net on the rebound to one to the delights of a back to fourteen thousand capacity mega sports arena but the czech republic made it all square in nine minutes s.k. trails are one guard forward of anchor scored his second of the night converting however the russians restored their one goal lead as alexander i'll do all of spun round and the back up to his backhand ricochet they bust the goaltender into the third period where the czechs levelled mather's once again nick was the quickest on the rebound as russia's deflected the shot in front of him three all in the game

went into overtime which ended goalless in the shootout turned out to be between being the goal and that idol of where the czech forward netted all three exams while twenty five year old or abdul of only managed twice and the czech republic climbing from behind to quality in their zero four three victory in the shoot out. has been accused to go is our best and assured house official as he heard his skills at training and it's very hard for me to deflect the shots and it seems like the duke of was unhappy to see you to go three times in the shootout. it was our first home tournaments on the billet doux enough and we were nervous because of the pressure we should have performed better the full impact home arena we were a little bit unlucky we thought until the very end and i think this team has bright future so zing too i believe suffering the second street defeat at the channel one
