5:02 am
connections to german politicians as well as representatives in the european parliament if they hadn't ended the trial as they did in the early seventy's then the evidence would have been available to the victims to use in their future actions against good intel and others and in particular the u.k. survivors action in the seventy's would have undoubtedly have been and it in a much more favorable fashion to to the claimants as it was they didn't have the evidence they had to settle for a much bigger discount in the in the amount that they should have got than would have the bad to be in that case if there's evidence to be available they were got a proper settlement and that's what they threw them out as they're after now. the british lawyer thinks evidence of that confidential meeting is crucial it took place in july nine hundred sixty nine but the ministry of health and bone. senior management from come to guns manufacturer were invited to discuss the settlement of the counter gun case according to

5:04 am
they've never actually answered individually the documents that we put to them. the british m.p. simon hall was also present at the german embassy meeting. it was really i think to hobbes the first half i thought was very positive so clearly the mood music coming out from officials on the on the german side of the table as it were it was very encouraging that they wanted to have a dialogue they wanted to see this brought to a conclusion we had to leave as we had to go back to the commons to vote and then the notes following that seem to suggest that they slightly dried up like clapham and it was very much we're not going to get involved this is the only meeting we're going to have to discuss this effectively that's the end of the news i think if there was anything which came out of the meeting which we had at the embassy in july of last year is that there had been a long debate point as to whether the drug which had been taken by british mothers
5:05 am
had been manufactured in germany or had been manufactured under license in the u.k. and it is now a very clear that the german officials taking tided the point that the third trust in the u.k. has been making for many a long year that there was no. manufactured in the u.k. and that which was taken by british mothers or expectant mothers had been manufactured in germany. this is knowledge to solidify victims receive decades too late since the one nine hundred seventy s. people affected both a little might have only been able to file compensation applications with the german government anyone who does file an application must renounce all claims against the manufacturer. many european victims say they have received little or no compensation at all. the federal ministry of family affairs declined to be interviewed. norm would comment on the

5:07 am
applying to the call to go isn't going to be a solution for us at all and so therefore for us to be subjected to a ridiculous system bureaucratic system at this point in our lives it's not going to meet our needs all we need is money that we can use in the ways that we know that will suit us best. the formosa little manufacturer no longer considers claims from the victims of the drug to be the responsibility. the tougher. side. want. because we're tiny unclogging going on a mission isn't hard to get you double tough no fun to put up for when tiger seeded border. of i know him from life and until own just its. supporters not paid by grown until but the federal government. one of many who is applications to the

5:10 am
in the amal they got and the amount that they would in fact need i wrote it to the relevant minister and there was no reply as. for decades parents never knew what was going on behind their backs during the criminal trial they were only allowed to be spectators. the thalidomide manufacturers defense strategy was to convince the prosecution to agree to dismiss the case. they knew that they didn't just have the regional government justice minister on their side but the federal government too however the dismissal of a criminal. case requires strict conditions least according to the prosecution service would not matter.
