council will be focusing on climate protection act and e.u. level that is something that germany has said on various occasions that it wants to push forward but there is criticism on this it's important to stress for example the greens here in germany think that angle of merkel should be doing much more that she does speak a lot about climate protection on climate change but that a very big effort should be done on dot's new green deal so. resolves the dots and i meant as well but you're right when you say that all of this the old these issues that we're talking about whether we're talking about climate protection whether we're talking about bricks that have in some part been overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic in a way it's ok that that's being overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic because again i'm going to merkel stress that we're talking here about the biggest challenge that the e.u. has faced in its history but on the other hand it's also up to politicians like i'm going to call up to the german government now that it will be leadin
