the eu is internalized it. it's interesting in my earlier conversation with one of the questions i explained how the brussels effect emanated from this interval goal to build a single market. the goal was not just at the global standard is almost like an accident byproduct. not so much anymore. you see a shift in the eu communications over the last ten years where the eu understands and has the opportunity to shape the global regulatory landscape. and it does care about this outcome. if you think about issues like data privacy, when the eu cares about the right to people bargain, the people something could be information of like him it would require the platforms to erase information that is inaccurate or no longer relevant. it may not be enough to have erased in one direction only and the eu has been toying with the extend that globally. i think there is the desire to seize the opportunity and shape the global standard-setting in an area the eu deeply cares about. and i think there's a huge political differenc

because the eu did not always step in. if you want to regulate the environment but you also remove those barriers to harmonize those standards so to get that environmental regulation so you get the left and the right on the regulations because they will support for integration. 's even the brits are skeptical love regulation. they love the single market and free trade on the common market. so in many ways it's easier to build a consensus there are others i discussed in the book with the political climate in the eu with that support with the environmental regulation with the data protection so how big with that have to be? so the foundation that if you are in coaster rica and you want to set the global standard and there is no magic number that i can say but you could set the standard but what the eu has going for it there are more consumers in china it will be a long time behind the eu with the buying power for the consumers and to see the more affluent that are in the eu. so if you think of the agriculture is not a major

with the eu.ans want to know how serious you are being. we are serious but we will not give... when i buy something will i give you my price? no. we will take back control of our waters and then we will negotiate with the eu on a historic basis. taking back control, referring to history, none of that is very helpful. the secretary of state for environment, food and agriculture, george eustace, said the other day that there will indeed be reduced access. so he is already telling the europeans you will have to accept a much thinner slice of the pie. the only question is how thin. he will say that we will take back, i suspect in negotiations, all of our fish, right? and then we will sit down and look at what the historic rights they may claim and do a negotiation. that is absurd to say that we britons have the right to fish all the fish in uk waters. we have neither the fleet size nor the manpower nor the processing capacity to handle that level of fish. it is absurd and the europeans know that. what

there are more people in the eu so there is no magic number for instance the eu is not a major market yet we have seen the risk aversion partially to steer them away from the gm knows as long as there's a long supply-chain and you want to make sure that everybody in the chain is comfortable with not trading in the eu and that is so hard to find. >> i'm going to go back here. microphone. >> i'm cynthia roberts and they teach in the program here at columbia so my question is a little bit out of left field but i couldn't resist coming i teach also european security this semester and couldn't resist coming to the talk on the brussels effect and how the eu rules the world in part because of some of the questions asked at the beginning that there are two other domains that i want to raise and get your feedback. i wonder if there's any cross domain affect us we could learn from your work on regulatory. it's for the violating regulations on treating this terrorist and what have you to come back with a financial instrument to combat this successfully. it's whether the eu will fix that problem

include eu laws and eu standards?aws and eu standards? and how exa ctly d o laws and eu standards? and how exactly do you manage the relationship and is there a role for the european court ofjustice? those arejust the european court ofjustice? those are just two of the very big issues to grapple with. the two sides have agreed to take stock injune. some say it might not be 0ctober until we getan say it might not be 0ctober until we get an idea of how well things have gone. adam fleming, thank you. fishing is likely to be a key sticking point in the negotiations. the uk says it wants to take back control of waters that have been shared with eu countries and the eu says its own fishermen must not end up any worse off. damian grammaticas has been investigating why fish could prove such a difficult issue and is in the danish port of frederikshavn. iam. it's i am. it's one of the big promises from the brexit referendum, that uk fishermen would be able to catch more fish in uk waters. the current situation is that around ha

regulations to the eu market.we have some technologies like 3d printing and others that have edited manufacturing that make it possible potentially in the future to localize the production. he would not need to rely as much on scale economies and reduction. that could potentially compromise the brussels effect because there is no need to standardize to the same extent. if technologies are still to some extent in the infancy and it's hard to predict how quickly they would be deployed at the scale that we would see a transformation of a large number of industries. those are some of the examples of why i think we will see the brussels conflict continue for a long time. even if you think about the internal Ãbinternal threats, there's a lot of conversations internally that are shaped by the rise of the anti-eu parties. they may be a real threat to what comes from within the eu. if they're starting to rain and the powers they are willing to delegate to brussels and how can brussels then propagate these regulations? if y

the eu.ribed to me how this market works. we sell haddock, whiting, cod and what we call rough. after that monks, anything else goes in the second seal. what kind of sale, how much fish, what with the prices like? 400 boxes, prices were good probably because of the type of weather we've had, there hasn't been much fish so the price is good. just down the coast from fraserburgh is peterhead, one of europe's used fishing ports. harvest hope is about to set sail on a 10— day trip far out into the north atlantic on the hunt for cod and haddock. come aboard! it's a big trip. 0ur bar offshore are you going? we could be going as high as 300 miles west. it's out in the atlantic stop how many days is that? hopefully a ease but no more than ten days, keep quality. and you need to go that far to find the best fish stocks? yes, it's lovely haddock but it keeps us out of the north sea, reduces the effort in the north sea and because the cod quota has been cut this year, we have less time to spend in the n

leaving the eu, the government says, means no alignment with eu rules.. the uk says we just want the same kind of trade deal that you've negotiated with other big economies like canada orjapan. the eu says that's not possible — the uk is a special case because it's much closer to the eu, and their economies are far more intertwined. so now we have both sides accusing the other of breaking promises on a key issue. the eu says it's all about protecting the single market, the uk says it's all about regaining real sovereignty. there are plenty of other difficult issues to negotiate as well — fisheries for example, and the role of courts in resolving any trade disputes in the future. different interpretations about future arrangements for northern ireland, painstakingly negotiated in the withdrawal agreement, could also become another flashpoint. so it does come down to an issue of trust — which is really important in a trade negotiation. you need to have some confidence that the other side isn't going to go back on its word. at the moment trust is in slightl

can do much more for that level than the eu can do, given the fact that the eu budget is much smaller states announced fiscal measures for 2% of the eu's gdp and all support measures, 14% of gdp. thes a major response at member state level. the eu is making this response possible through the flexibility, which we are allowing to member states and through eu budget supports, ecb instruments, potentially stability mechanism support. of member states are pushing for shared debt for eurobonds, now being called corona bonds. of biggest state in terms economies, germany being the biggest, is clearly against that. what does the european commission thank? -- what does the european commission think? council who ise being held to task by leaders to work on the exit strategy from the crisis. euro group has been tasked to including the european stability mechanism. the instruments from the european commission side is we are not ready to act -- we are ready to act boldly and use all the tools at our disposal. when we are talking about the eu budget response, currently our response is limited by th

eu rules.iated with other big economies like canada orjapan. the eu says that's not possible. the uk isa eu says that's not possible. the uk is a special case because it's much closer to the eu. the two economies are far more intertwined. one of the big difficulties ahead is fishing. the uk wants to take back control of its waters to decide who can fish and how much they can take. it's a message the government has repeated again, and again. and we heard it again today, this time, from the international trade secretary lizz truss. we are not going to trade away our fishing in a deal with the eu or any other negotiating partner for that matter. that you insist it must its fishermen must not end up anywhere saw. under current eu rules, athletes are given equal access to waters to create fair competition. statistics show 35% of total fish caught by the eu member states in the north atlantic originate from uk waters. a majority of the uk fleet, 80% fish and uk waters. they are worried, particularly

and same thing goes with the eu.g he is congratulating congress, agreeing to provide $8 billion to fight the coronavirus. the issue with the european broken system, they're still relying on a system that says migrants can get asylum in the first eu country they step foot in. that has stressed out to the max countries like greece, italy and spain, particularly greece. turkey is now, a nato ally. it is a geopolitical threat now to europe. that is what "the washington post" says. in other words what's going on in syria, with syria and russia attacking turkey's troops, turkey is saying open the floodgates. europe, you have to help out what is it going on with russia and syria. we'll open floodgates. send 14 million refugees in your territory. >> it is a terrible situation. erdogan and turkey is weaponizing a group of refugees. they have 3.6 million refugees in turkey that came out of syria and the civil war. but you know, the eu has paid turkey a lot of funding. they agreed to keep these refugees. now all of sudden thing

back way before the eu.here there are thousands ofjobs at stake and that's why this is such a difficult issue. as we found just up the coast in the port of skagen, laden with more than £1 million worth of fish caught onjust one trip. the boat is danish. the fish in the whole blue whiting were caught in irish waters. but soon it'll be the season to trawl uk seas. exactly the areas the uk says it alone will control after brexit. these big danish fishing boats access to uk waters is crucial about aa. about a0% of their catches come from there. saying, yes, they will take back control, we don't know what that means. will we go back to what? into history? we have to be able to be fishing in the north sea and the uk water for all times. sandy, in this area here, that history of sharing these rich fishing grounds maps now by danish trawlers is the reason the eu says it's not ready to give up either its access to uk waters or its part of the catch here. well, i can't really accept the argument of handing anything ba

it really is a big symbol of how big are now, that the eu uk has left the eu.ay the same, there we re some things do say the same, there were some pre—talks with the eu to arrange the process, and there is one big character on this site who has remained here, and that is michel barnier. he is going to be overseeing the negotiations for the eu. the process will kick off with a meeting around lunchtime between him and david frost, the prime minister's adviser, and the technical working groups, 11 of them will start tomorrow morning. the delegations are so big and the process is so big, it is too big for the eu headquarters to cope with so they are all going to be meeting, these 11 different working groups, ina these 11 different working groups, in a conference centre down the road. you talk to these people all the time, what do you think the climate is like now? we have seen a bit of a phoney war, but do you think they meet now in a climate of trust and constructive co—operation, or is ita trust and constructive co—operation, or is it a blame game?” trust and con

the eu has no power to tell the eu governments what to do. the criticism though is if the president had gotten more involved, more authoritatively, that we would hahave better coordrdinated measusures. but righght now, you see eu countries retreating international responses. that was on evidence. it is on evidence today. there was an interior minister meeting. most of the countries have theirded not to send inteterior ministers. they are sending their junior members. the eu states seem to have g gin up on viving a c coordinated strategy eyey also to bee goioing on ther own. we will see if the commission can get control of those actions, but at this point, it really does seem like the horse is out of the barn. france 24 will be holding -- will be providing anerage of that meeting in hour. so far, the region has three deaths and more than 250 cases. we have more in what is being done across the continent. reporter: the first south american country to announce a death from coronavirus. the government has quickly flung not issuing thesese is to p

this policy, which is, very simply, people from outside the eu will not be able to enter the eu for will be some exceptions. people from the uk would still be able to travel because of that post brexit a transition period, where britain is still treated as if it was a britain is still treated as if it wasa memberof britain is still treated as if it was a member of the eu, even though it has left. there will also be exemptions for people doing essential services, whether it is health—care, scientific research, bringing in goods. also people from the rest of the world who have the right to live in europe anyway, with their families. although, listening to james, you realise that maybe this is a bit more political rather than practical, because not a lot of people will be travelling anyway and one of the big objectives of this is by putting a kind of ring around the european union, the eu authorities and institutions out there that will convince the eu member states and countries to drop the restrictions they've applied to each other. also today, we've had some big announcements from t

able to give up access to eu waters —— uk waters.eral market access and we have the trade agreement. of course, these things do belong together and we see that in that respect. and the eu has a weapon in this fight over fish. tariffs. this factory alone produces 800 million herring fillets a year. the uk could catch the herring but, if the eu puts a tax on imports, where will the uk sell all this fish? the bigger volumes of herring will be consumed in europe and not that much in the uk. if the uk catches were herring, they have to sell it here. that's how i see it. or english people have to learn how to eat herring and a lot of it. right back in the uk, brexit has been painted asa in the uk, brexit has been painted as a chance to revive coastal towns. ince geoghegan, the fear is brexit might hollow the economy out. fishing support 3000 jobs here. it's what this community is built on, too. we have a fish because it is pa rt of too. we have a fish because it is part of our dna. dna that goes back to viking times. the mea says both side

but the eu doesn‘t see it that way.lem. this is no longer a refugee problem. this is no longer a refugee problem. this is a blatant attempt by turkey to use desperate people to promote this political agenda. greece has introduced tough new measures for migrants, some of them controversial. here‘s jonah fisher on the greece—turkey border. lots of people are a bit worried about greece‘s decision to cancel the assessment of asylum claims here in greece. they have announced that if you get arrested here, having crossed the border illegally, you won‘t have your claim assessed and you will have to stay here in a detention centre. you are effectively being sent back right —— right back to turkey and that is in breach of most international conventions on how refugees should be treated. benjamin neta nyahu was the winner of israel‘s election but — his party — and others allied to it — came out just short of the number of seats needed to form a government. so it‘s back to the negotiating table. that‘s something israel‘s politicia

there's the administration and there's brussels and eu representatives. we needed the countries to be more involved. so we wanted this to be more visible. and to have a process which recreates credibility on both sides. capacity for us to explain why we're doing it, why it's doing and capacity for the leaders to explain to the people, you know, why we do the reforms, what benefits it brings and so on. so indeed the commissioner made an update on the reforms. so a number of progress on the electoral law that we expect for albania and in the coming days and weeks, on the vetting of judges. many, many things that moved in the positive way. some the process now is for the 27 countries to agree on the methodology and we hope it will be done. and then to have a consensus to say this new methodology into the actual -- for negotiation. if this happens then france will be able to, you know, look at the situation and be differently than it was before. what i want to highlight that in october, the positions on the table were very different. it was not france against

leaving the eu, the government says, means no alignment with eu rules.g economies like canada orjapan. the eu says that's not possible — the uk is a special case because it's much closer to the eu, and the two economies are far more intertwined. so now we have both sides accusing the other of breaking promises on a key issue. the eu says it's all about protecting its single market, the uk says it's all about regaining real sovereignty. there are plenty of other difficult issues to negotiate as well — fisheries for example, and the role of courts in resolving any trade disputes in the future. different interpretations about future arrangements for northern ireland, painstakingly negotiated in the withdrawal agreement, could also become another flashpoint. so it does come down to an issue of trust — which is really important in trade negotiations. you need to have some confidence that the other side isn't going to go back on its word. at the moment, trust is in slightly short supply, but it's still worth remembering that after the shouting stops, both side

what she was committing shows the limited resources that the eu has.is still a small agency because member states of the european union, the national countries, have been reluctant to turn over border policing to an eu agency. the agency remains very small. greece is on the hook with the immigration crises. yesterday we saw a real strong byport expressed not only the president but the president ofof the european council. saying greece is europe's shield at the moment. european unione president trusts the greek government and what they are doing. this is controversial because a lot of people are upset about what the greek border authorities are doing in trying to send a strong message to o te migrants, don't come, we will turn you away. greek said they will stop accepting asylum applications and the commission seems to be delaying making a ruling if that is legal. the commission is standing firm behind greece. totoday i suspect we will see a similar message from those home affairs ministers in suppoportig greeeece. we will see if any of the ministers fr

of the eu governments.o do, because we need that equipment for our health care systems. we need to share that equipment in the european union. selling protective equipment to other nonmember state is not good. we need to help each other and no country can produce on its own, what it needs. just on this question of communication, the criticisms jeremy corbyn and others are raising, do they get it in downing street? is there an appreciation the messaging has become a little bit confused and there needs to be more definite points in the course of the day or during the week when people know that if i listen at this point, if i turn the tv on at this point, i will see the prime minister of the chief medical officer or matt hancock and they will tell me what the latest thinking is? the pressure has been building on this issue and it will be interesting to see if there is a change on approach this week. from downing street's perspective, they will say there has been regular press c0 nfe re nces will say there has

this programme, a senior minister defends the government's description of a potential deal with the eun—ready". i think it is the case that people often have frozen foods which are indeed, oven ready, theyjust take slightly longerfor the microwave to ping. but first, he's only been chancellor for a few weeks, but at 12:30pm, rishi sunak was in front of mps for one of the big parliamentary events of the year, the budget. he announced rises to the national insurance threshold, a freeze on fuel and alcohol duties, £600 billion for transport investment and £22 billion a year for research and development. there'd also be a tax on plastic packaging and an end to the tampon tax. but with the number of cases rising, his focus at the start of the statement was on help for businesses and workers to combat the impact of coronavirus. our economy is robust, or public finances are sound. 0ur public services are well prepared. for a period, it's going to be tough. but i'm confident that our economic performance will recover. he said there'd be a temporary disruption to the economy with up to one fift

one of the big objectives of this at the eu level is by introducing an eu ban all around, that mightn their neighbours to drop those bands so that the schengen passport free zone and the eu freedom of moment can be re—established so there is a big political goal here as well. thank you very much for that update. something else to watch out for later on today. it's exactly a week since stringent measures were put in place across italy to tackle the spread of coronavirus. more than 2000 people there have now died, that's more than in any other country after china. 0ur correspondent sima kotecha is in rome. bring us up to date with the situation there. around 6pm every evening, it really does feel like this country stands still as the government announces the new death toll of the coronavirus figures. as you say, more than 2000 people have died, almost 28,000 cases and primarily, they are in the north of the country. there are concerns that that outbreak could move from the north to the south because people have been travelling a lot from that pa rt have been travelling a lot from that

the eu has also launched a probe into his dual role as a politician distributing eu subsidies — and anusicians from france's most prestigious theatre troupe have protested against president macron's pension reforms with a special production on the steps of the comedie francaise. performers at the state—owned theatre currently have a separate pension system, and many hung from the windows of the theatre to perform a selection of scenes from moliere‘s play ‘the miser‘. greece says it has stopped almost 10,000 migrants crossing over the land border from turkey, which is struggling to deal with the number of people fleeing syria's civil war. the growing crisis comes after an airstrike in syria killed at least 33 turkish soldiers deployed to support the syrian opposition. turkey's president has said he will break his country's deal with brussels — to prevent migrants entering the eu — unless he gets greater support for his intervention in syria. orla guerin reports from the turkey and greece border. at first light, they joined the migrant trail from turkey. heading for the river meric, all

my lords, we will have left the eu.ropean arrest warrant has one enormous advantage among many, that countries that normally do not extradite their people do so under the ea w? what assurance have with that in future this will hold good? many signals have come for european countries saying they will not do so in the future and doesn't that make us come as a country weaker and more vulnerable to criminality? i think what it will mean, my lords, is that those states will try in their own countries, and i don't think that that, and we've talked about the enhanced safeguards, i don't think that make this country less safe. lady williams. that's it for monday in parliament. thank you for watching. mandy baker will be here for the rest of the week with the highlights from the commons and the lords. but from me, david cornock, bye for now. hello. i know there's still significant flooding around but isn't it nice to get away from february's relentless grey and of course wet and something brighter, bluer in the skies, many of us

the eu meaning to rally together after a failed attempt on thursday to forge a joint fiscal response to the virus pandemic nine member states including france, italy and spain are sticking to their demand the eurozone should issue shared debt instruments to even out the economic burden. a fiscally conserve ty bloc led by germany is opposing the plan. we're joined by a team of reporters for the latest on how european leaders view the u.n.'s role in responding to the crisis let's start with annetta let's start with germany's position, which has been very firm all the way through there is no need for an esm-issued coronavirus bond at this point >> yes, that's exactly the german line. germany wants to activate the esm. within that there's an instrument which is a credit line countries could tap if they need oney, it's a credit line which would last them two years and here comes the problem. the countries need to repay that credit line within that time frame. that's why some economists are arguing it's not the best instrument to deploy right now because we literally don't know how long th
