we're watching our t.v. thank you very much for tuning in let's take a recap of our headlines syrian rebels are thought to have obtained heavy weapons from a border for the first time despite american officials be as they might be used to target civilian airliners. joining us on his lawyer confirms that sweden refuses to question the weekly leaks of people in london amid concerns of the country once more than just solving the sex crimes complaint against him. last arab israelis are no longer exempt from military service is a risky call up to fight against their own people volunteer and be labeled a traitor. next to the former top illegal man at the european council explains why

he thinks the europe's economic troubles and natural and part of the transitional step forward coming up. today we're joined by a. legal counsel of the european council and he also spent more than two decades as head of the legal service of the council of ministers and yes participated in a lot of the important decisions taken over the past twenty years notably the adoption of the new treaties in the european union thanks very much mr pearce for joining us today i'd like to start by quoting something you had written and event for two thousand and eleven and the financial times you had written it's time to admit that the large print of the you was too rapid europe citizens no longer understand the purpose of the e.u. and for all its increased powers the european parliament the supposed repository of democratic legitimacy in europe is

a relative failure like to ask is is there something fundamentally wrong with europe at this point you know this. venture is something which is new has never been made. so we are experiencing the problems with the currency i'm sure we. exempt but. we fall in the beginning. to bring. making or members. will bring. us into work. for example but. this has been the reason you're. sol that's one of the experiencing. adventure as i said there's the question of sovereignty where individual member

states feel like they're just giving more powers to brussels these. union a lot of them owed nation states we have a lot of history. civilization behind them so it's difficult for these states maine very big greece spain portugal and so on france. to. share what you say to share that power. and this is city i think in the more than the word first of all and we have been in the european union all the peace between us because we have been there five eighteen or of the time during these two and then we have decided to try to have more power spurred to build an internal market among all of us which is five

hundred million consumers and then. but that's the argument always presented by the e.u. this notion of there being no war being more peaceful but if you look at the situation the economic and social situation of individual member states this isn't exactly a conducive or a recipe for peace is it really five million to thirty does agree with you the has i cannot make any decision that some member states so if you have the year you said the story of the story of the number states no member states would remain in b. if it was in its interests. in it and the out there is states because they think that european union his helping if they want to simply seeing european union is a creation of the states what are you worried about the new growing social unrest

in individual countries as well as the rise of the extreme political left and right of course. it is wise since. one year when your half i am trying to give two to two to give a little bit grain of sand to the discussions and to try to accelerate the way we are taking decisions in order to finish with your crisis. because we cannot go on in some countries with austerity and not giving hope to the people it is not possible just possible that people are this parade there will be mirrors are falling unemployment is increasing and so on and so forth and we have a heavy price paid to co-produce towards green party's because obama and you have these reactions of people in the streets which are completely understandable they have no hope of pulling so i think we have to give hope to these people and to take

this season's visible credible understandable as soon as possible and now it's obvious that we cannot go on we have a simple fact that we need strong wars legally binding hooves fall the member states to behave and to have a lot of convergence of the budgetary and economic policies in order to establish who we are and you economy and monitor your needs but you've already had been as wrong as before and you just added new rules and those old rules don't really help that you know we do know how this war is we did not say that. a national budget you are going to make we are going to say yes or no before you are going to be able to accept it we have said before taking any economic policies

of importance you must discuss and have the green light all of your companions in the common currency that's all the work we have to do now and the work which. as begin two years ago in the which is world advanced now not enough we should go much for that but it's precisely because words isn't out of control of getting more powers from individual member states that is creating this recess defense from those countries. for by your companions you are in the same boat you are i'll be nice to a team of. climbers or mountain linked together by. doing the same boat rowing if one is failing the others will fail probably it's a team so you are sharing the powers we're deciding to give and no one should be the weakest link which might bring

a catastrophe how long will people have to bear the brunt of the consequences of a you or a crisis that we're in i think i do think that the time has come to take the final decisions the final decisions and that's a question for me holding weeks of hmongs lot of years i'd like to bring up a question that's been thrown around by some analysts and observers do you really need the euro to pursue this european project this is not the question we have the euro this question was twenty years ago which has been solved by governments polymaths and so on they have sure isn't the currency so now we have the currency and what would happen if you were exploded that would be a catastrophe. more plainly for greece portugal and so on but the country which

has been benefiting from the most is probably germany and that would be catastrophe for germany. if you look at the trade again. of course they do a lot of trade with china but if you look in. china is a tiny part of the external trade most of the trade is done you have europe what do they do with. you know if you were exploded what be the consequence some currencies new currencies. devaluate and there will be a war of the valuations and there will be a great danger for into the market and there would be a great danger for the european union as such european integration do you think that members of the government. or longer of a month and so on would take the responsibility to both the worlds this would i

don't think so now one of the pillars of the e.u. was this free movement of people no internal borders but there has been a lot of talk about strengthening border controls and also a rise in anti immigration rhetoric where does that leave europe first we we have this freedom of movement but actually the number of workers going from one thousand three to end is unfortunately quite weak weak you have example because of the language main leak and also the attachment to people to their regions so we have to take organizations we can to improve the mode b.d.t. of. within the union and what i'm proposing some measures in my book on this and then the thing is immigration reform countries you know with all the demographic trend in the countries of european union they have just got past

perfect just such as in the russia such as in other countries as well. that means that we have more. people and. younger people are to support them so we really need to be grecian for the counters as well and we have to prepare people and we have i think to have a common core to see you on tuesday to prepare ok i'd like to bring out defense and military spending and particular with regard to syria now a lot has also said that a military intervention is not off the table in the context of the a un security council however when france does that when it's ready to spend on a military intervention given the does small finances of the e.u. many members of the european union how broad would be impact be on the whole economy where i don't think you know maybe i was one thing syria is another thing

it's much more the being. bigger can three and so on and i don't see any intervention all you was. in syria would. it means to. be a pretty big crisis you know i was spending in the media expenses have decreased the lot in order contras and has shown that. we have to figure these big operations outside of our territory. thanks very much for this interview.
