reason is he absolutely must have germany on board germany is the country that pays most into the e.u. budget if you want a common budget and they don't go along the idea is dead in the water so he must have german support apparently the idea in paris and he did speak to the chancellor twice in the past two days is that he wants to get that plan out there before there's a coalition agreement in place before any coalition partners have locked in their policy on europe in other words he's hoping to influence the debate and get a foot in the door right now at this crucial juncture ok now merkel opened germany's doors in twenty fifteen and a lot of people say it's one of the reasons for party suffered such losses in this election because many voters disagree with that decision do you think the chancellor would fight for a european asylum office. of the type that he is proposing. let's say i think she could be receptive to the idea if it were to lead to a fairer and more equitable distribution of refugees within europe as is actually foreseen by e.u. law all of the euro your european union member

is a net contributor to the e.u. budget if it leaves countries like poland to either get less countries like germany have to pay more that is a major issue for the europeans so they are basically creating a system where britain was going to have to promise quite a bit of cash before it got to talk about the stuff that it wanted to talk about she made the promise in a she was almost exactly the language that brussels was asking for is whispering the secret password to open the door the door should now still not into any settlement should now start to open she should get to talk about other things however i would predict that the rest of the year we spent talking about the terms of transition rather than where we're going to end up off the transition in dump of politics thank you very much well we'll have to see because those brits it talks of course due to resume on monday of next week or about a week thanks very much today that's picture from westminster bonamy phillips. british police have charged a man with attempted murd

causes another type of uncertainty for the remaining member states and their tax payers over the e.u. budget some of the claims made on this issue are exaggerated and unhelpful and we can only resolve this as part of the settlement of all the issues i have been talking about today still i do not want our partners to fear that they will need to pay more or receive less over the remainder of the current budget plan as a result of our decision to leave the u.k. well on our commitments we have made during the period of our membership. and as we move forward we will also want to continue working together in ways that promote the long term economic development of our continent this includes continuing to take part in those specific policies and programs which are greatly to the u.k. and the use joint advantage such as those that promote science education and culture and those that promote our mutual security and as i set out in my speech at lancaster house in doing so we would want to make an ongoing contribution to cover our fair share of the costs involved when i gave my speech at the beginning

we do not need a separate euro budget, we need a strong budget line within the existing e.u. budget nor do i see great merit in the idea of a separate euro parliament. the parliament of the euro area as this one, the european parliament. the european union also needs to be stronger and how a fight terrorism. in the last three years a great deal has been done. we're still not reacting quickly enough in the case of cross-border terror threats. i therefore plead for the setting up for european investigative body that would make sure that data on terrorists and firefighters are exchange between her intelligence and belief services. i also believe there is reason enough for the newly set up european prosecutor to be responsible for the prosecution of cross-border terrorist crimes. european union should also have more influence on the world stage but it needs to be able to take its form policy decision most swiftly. time has come to take form policy decisions in certain cases by qualified majority. that is, allow under the existing treaty is lance there is a unanimous decision. and if the

even losing voting rights and getting less funds from the e.u. budget? >> know, now.on't think so we would pay that kind of a price. we are not inventing anything against the rule of law. against the system. we are just importing over the existing situations from other countries, from other member states of the european union. the problem is we are engaged in a dialogue. there are some double standards in the commission. and what is acceptable for other countries, commission says is not acceptable for the young democracy or for a country with a different legal couch. this is a double standard. 20 again, we are not inventing anything new. -- onceust importing again, we are not inventing anything new. we are just importing. nejra: you pointed to a double standard that oh. 2 -- pointed to a double standard there. -- you pointed to a double standard there. does france and germany have too much say over the future? like that because it is done only about the judiciary reform, but when we touch upon the financial issues, it looks like there are some countries in the europea

it's really important to understand a little bit about the e.u. budgetm to for each year you have a set of commitments which is what it e.u. commits to in that year. and a set of payments. and like many situations, commitments is made in one year and the payments related to that commitment are made over subsequent years. normally three years but sometimes a little bit longer. now, the point is that if you saying that the last payment into the e.u. budget will be the last liability that the u.k. accepts, you're saying that things are committed to a 2018 and even some from 2016, you're u.k. is notthe going to accept it is liable for the payments that are made on those projects that it agreed to well as a member. i think that is a very basic thing. other financial issues, for example, about whether it has to own commitments that it makes after brexit until the end of this micro financial framework, i think they can be negotiated. they'll be open to negotiations. without this key acceptance that the u.k. has to pay its credit card bill even after its torn up
