11:31 pm
mccallum from the u.k. conservative party to learn more about where the fallout of the years. will be felt . today we're joined by martin in. the u.k. conservative party and he's also the new head of the european conservatives and a reformist group at the european parliament thanks very much obviously for joining us today for the first question is the e.u. now imposed a block wide oil embargo on iraq as part of the president and sanctions on the country over its controversial nuclear program statement british prime minister david cameron along with french president nicolas sarkozy. and merkel and said that quote our message is clear we have no quarrel with the iranian people but the iranian leadership has failed to restore international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program now at what cost to the year.
11:32 pm
union is this message being delivered clearly there is going to be an economic cost because you have agreed that we are not going to buy any more oil from iran number of member states to have. reasonable reason be considerable purchases from them so they would have to stop by oil from iran but i think you know the overall goal is to you know we have come together twenty seven nations will say to the arabians you know you know we really must get some assurances on the nuclear program it's unacceptable to the rest of the world for iran to acquire nuclear weapons but i will factor will these sanctions be right now you see india still buying oil from iran with gold and you have china that could possibly just step in and buy the oil that the u.s. and the e.u. don't want so how effective really will these sanctions be but i hope countries like india which of course. functioning democracies as well i'm sure other diplomatic pressure being applied to that too to maybe get them on board with the
11:33 pm
with the regime as well you know we have to be united as a world to say to iran this is unacceptable you will not be permitted to develop nuclear weapons. we will leave no stone to terms of pursuing this policy of british petroleum or b.p. the british government as well as the e.u. have been lobbying u.s. lawmakers for an exception from another proposed new u.s. sanctions which seek to stop western companies from doing business with iran in particular this has to do with the shah denice project in azerbaijan iran has a ten percent stake in that while greece is now forced to find alternatives to almost one third of its oil imports from iran even if it didn't want to to begin with and here you have the u.k. asking for an exception how can that be fair when we see if there is an exemption on that i mean this pipeline that you're referring to from was about ten percent owed by. iranian state assets so. clear what the exact effect will be on that but
11:34 pm
at the same time you know as well as the sanctions on iran we also want to pursue. diversifying energy sources. for western europe this pipeline is a key part of that but it is rather hypocritical this is a message to iran. that we've accepted that there will be costs. to the west on implementing this policy on this it could well be that this is one of the costs we have to. deal with only ten percent of it is a key part of europe's attempt to diversify our energy sources and. i'm sure they will want to continue with this but further discussions will take place on exactly what happened to this particular project so basically what you're saying is ok to have sanctions against iran as long as it doesn't go against the goal of the e.u. to diversify its sources that would look like that's the view that's being taken but i think the detail the detail work
11:35 pm
a lot to be done on this you know none of the sanctions are taking effect. anyway let's talk about the discussion has been long enough even at a recent press conference of the. journalists to get a straight answer of whether or not default. so what do you think will there be a greece default or it can give you my opinion and i think they will default you know effectively. that's being imposed on the bondholders at the moment many could argue that that's effectively a default anyway. maybe your question. credit event. i don't know what is clear to me is the current debt. is unsustainable. in my view that will have to be reduced considerably one way of doing it would be for them to default. i did my view that it's probably the most effective way of doing that. at the same time helping to save the rest of the eurozone but you know
11:36 pm
i'm not a member of a country that is part of the euro zone. but that seems to me to be the way that we're heading. that we delay this process the difficulties of being told that the u.k. wants to have a say what. we can give our opinions but you know we did not join the euro in the first place we are against the euro being created. many pitfalls that there would be along the way looks like finding out the hard way that you know you are seventeen countries economic policies into one currency zone. seventeen different economic policies well there are still some people who would argue that there are other solutions to this crisis one of which would be the issuance. of other would be further. funding mechanisms. with germany. and germany has said no to all of these suggestions and some would
11:37 pm
say that this behavior from germany is. what do you think considerable sympathy for the germans in this i would if i was a german politician i wouldn't concede on europe. you know i don't see how. it's a solution to a debt crisis you know we need to be getting finding new ways of issuing new debt all of the time. you know this look at the fundamental democratic aspect of it you know. from german taxpayers to perceive the greeks having greater levels of public expenditure having better social benefits having early retirement rates. in germany for german taxpayers to pay greece to do that this is the fundamental problem with the eurozone that was never resolved at the creation of it so i have considerable sympathy for germany in this and i hope they will also continue to resist as well so the december. of course produces. where does that.
11:38 pm
leaders have been consistently talking about holding different meetings to push this forward are you now optimistic about the future of. just asking myself what is the point of this you know what we're going to achieve going to solve eurozone crisis at the moment prevent the next crisis five years down the right if countries are persuaded to rein in. a fiscal deficit but you know this is going to take eighteen months. to be implemented by. all the national parliaments of countries that used to sign up to it so this is going to provide a solution to a crisis that could explode in the next month or two is fanciful it's not going to happen this is not. what worries me about the whole thing is that it's distracting attention from the very real things that need to be done to solve the current crisis we're engaging in this institution of naval gazing of rewriting treaties and
11:39 pm
agreeing new pact. instead of addressing the fundamental problem which is there's too much debt in europe and there is a competitiveness crisis in europe none of these issues are being addressed by this fiscal pact so i don't think it work and i think it's essentially pointless let's talk about the european stability mechanism. this is the funding facility which will be put into place the target is to have five hundred billion euros that will be available for countries that may need it in the future and also the e.c.b. for. a trillion euros do you think. will be a big enough. impact that a possible default or euro exit on other countries. if spain or italy runs into trouble you know you could look. at those countries you can see that the. but this is
11:40 pm
a matter for the eurozone countries themselves to resolve on the fifth essential fundamental structural problems in the in the euro zone. they're being seventeen different countries this is the difficulty with it and david cameron uses veto with the e.u. summit against any treaty changes because he says he failed to get guarantees to protect the interests of the u.k. particularly in the city of london and france is circulating its blueprint for proposal on any financial transactions tax how big of a deal do you think this could become our position is that we will not accept a financial transactions tax revenue look. in any event in any event no negotiations whatsoever because it's pointless to get it you know it won't three raise very much money it will just drive the institutions away to other jurisdictions like new york or singapore or geneva or something outside of the scope of this tax their electronic transactions by their nature they can take place in many different locations across the world so we don't they're going to raise
11:41 pm
very much money we think will be bad for european business. we think it's unfairly targeted it will be paid by by pension fund by by individual investors the big banks and others who are the targets of it would be clever enough to do that transactions elsewhere which would avoid the tax so it doesn't operate on a worldwide basis it will be it will be completely ineffective so they are the new head now of the european the conservatives the reformist group the european parliament you said that the agenda is striking a chord with the european people what is this realistic i think it's a realistic acceptance of the limits of european integration you know there's a lot of people are very keen to. make you know. hyperbole and statements about about european integration and the cause of european unity etc you know you're seeing with the eurozone crisis the limits to that so that we can make all the grand statements we like when it.
