presided over by one of its weakest and most problematic members so what specific challenges does arlen face in europe over the six months of its presidency first ots the european economy is slowing and the crisis is nowhere near over secondly it must preside over leaders actually agreeing to an e.u. budget for the year two thousand and fourteen to two thousand and twenty something they've spectacularly failed to do so far and thirdly there is a problem coming from right here in london increasing british opposition to brussels and the threat to european cohesion that uses the irish government expects the e.u. presidency to coast in excess of seventy million euros money the country can ill afford and what will it be spent on twenty four million on catering accommodation and transport for example and another twenty million extra government. during the song spend half the year in twenty twelve under house arrest and the other half holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london but he still managed to produce a t.v. series talking t.v. keith america's shunned by the mainstream media correspon

many different areas amount of money that it can be can spend to deal with the deficit but of course arlen's medicine that they're taking and partly suffering from but they're getting on with it isn't really vied for the rest of europe so if they're going to be dry before with the agenda in the european union for the next six months that's not the. economic problems but let me ask you this i mean this coming year twenty has come up with something called the european year of citizens to be highlight the rights people have because they're in the e.u. what do you make of that one of the key people should have is a via to elect their own government and for that to actually make a real difference but of course with the european union power has become too centralized amongst the into touche and in brussels and that just takes away power from ordinary citizens so the european union can tell us why it's that we have but of course we don't actually have the vite to make a real difference to the elections because far too many decisions now are made at the supranational level major decisions being made

austerity and that's hurting it creating a lot of unemployment it's creating a very severe recession so arlen's medicine that they're taking and partly suffering from but they're getting on with it isn't really vital for the rest of europe so if they're going to be driving forward the agenda in the european union for the next six months that's not the. economic problems and indeed ireland is one of the most problematic as you say of the troubled states and has not got enough to deal with without holding the e.u. presidency as well at this stage. well yes it does have a great deal of challenges in the you of course the budget situation in europe in the european union isn't sorted out yet the whole situation regarding britain's membership is coming to the fore britain of course maybe will be having a referendum at some point on britain's terms of membership all these issues need to be discussed and agreed in the forthcoming year and so on and the taking on the presidency for the first six months has a key role to play but of course they've got their own challenges to face and it's a very difficul

of the guys in peg's the countries that have been least stable economies in europe and sure enough arlen's the first country to take on the presidency of the twenty seven nation bloc while being propped up by e.u. and i.m.f. money so for the next six months the e.u. and systemic problems will be presided over by one of its weakest and most problematic members so what specific challenges does face in europe over the six months of its presidency first the european economy is slowing flaws and the crisis is nowhere near over secondly it must preside over leaders actually agreeing to an e.u. budget for the years two thousand and fourteen to two thousand and twenty something they've spectacularly failed to do so far and thirdly there's a problem coming from right here in london increasing british opposition to brussels and the threat to european cohesion that poses the irish government expects the e.u. presidency to coast in excess of seventy million euros money the country can ill afford and what will it be spent on twenty four million on catering accommodation and transport for example and an
