russia is very much a board for the european union -- important for the european union. if you look at the recent re are alreadyy are already sanctions. you can have already the scenario that is playing out right now with respect to russia which is more important to the european union. if you have european companies and washington withdrawing from the russian market, this would be way worse, i think, than the follow-up we are witnessing now. thenot really see given escalation of the european union in the past, but supporting the u.s.t -- the uris jurisdiction. how this might be solved in a constructive manner. i wanted to find out the spillover effect with respect to russia. >> anyone has any comments on that? >> yeah, it is true. i think the people who are involved in the russian market are learning a lesson that people -- the europeans involved in the russian market are learning, which is that risk is very big and scary. it could be very costly. it may cause you to wind down certain relationships. the u.s. sanctions policy makers are proving themselves more and more in

or do we want our european serenity the european parliament. in order like you to a few hours here to an out in your presence you mean has decided together with the commission and the member states to the side a rules of procedure and this is the kind of life that we want to follow my goodness and i am deeply convinced that we have a dish and there's. several ran a t two ability in order to accompany the i thrust to protect our citizens and to avoid the. unfairness rules area where some pay no taxes should be sent the need to protect ourselves against the threats on a daily basis for what we. make decisions from our and they are decisions they are essential aspects who is going to decide that the. external of all or us or ourselves who are we going to let take those decisions we know that energy and climate decisions take time but a sustainable solution can only be built if we can. ourselves on the european level field if we know where. on. carbon if we pose attacks outside of the border of the worst decisions if we have an ambition i . have. m

ministers in brussels on tuesday european commission president has suggested using the european investment bank as a way around u.s. sanctions legally european business is not bound by u.s. foreign policy but ignoring sanctions could affect their business interests in the u.s. the e.u. is resistance to the new us sanctions on iran could hit european companies where it hurts and that's because most large european enterprises have some sort of business with the united states and are likely to be punished if they continue to cooperate with the run but european policy makers say they won't permit washington to dictate e.u. trade policy. that it was yes. i think there is a true realisation a realisation among all european states. that we cannot keep going in the direction that we are headed in today. she's a direction where we submit we submit to american decisions. we want to submit or do we prefer to become independent in sovereign swung. the question is how to go about protecting european interests you may have suggested instigating so-called blocking regulations that use most powerful but u

this is something we have to wait to see, but there are ways for europeans.r in the mid—1990s, when the us imposed sanctions with a territorial impact on iran and the europeans, they decided to pass blocking regulations in order to support european business with iran and to resist the us extraterritorial behaviours. this is one issue, whether the european union would revive relations or not, this is one issue. second, whether iran and the eu would be able to manage the financial system. they do business in euros, not in dollars, because whenever the business is in dollars, it comes to new york for a u—turn and we would have a problem with the us. but if we can have business in europe, then we would face much less capacity for the us to go for punishments. all right, so your view is... the europeans, whether they would be able to do it or not, i really do not know. your view is that it is going to be very difficult. explain to me one thing. if it is going to be very difficult — and the europeans have an important decision now to make about how far they can go

the european union ambassador to the u.s. it talked about the trump administration decision to withdraw from the nuclear agreement. this event in washington dc also includes a discussion about iran. this is an hour and a half. i'm really delighted that we are bringing together all of our work at the atlantic council under the iran source. i suggest all of you look at the source. and you can also tweet today's event. were not quite sure what. we are going to look at sanctions and aspects in particular what it's going to mean for sanctions. the last minute addition to our experts in that as the ambassador david o'sullivan is going to make some keynote remarks. with our penile penal true after experts. let me just briefs fully introduce them. she is a veteran of the treasury department. we also have a new speaker here. they followed the negotiations that led to the jcp '08 in great detail another veteran of state department where he worked on developing the sanctions that are now going to be returning. he promises to have a very

sanctions are extraterritorial as it's known and apparently european union officials and european union foreign ministers of the signatory countries are looking into whether they could in some way protect european businesses going forward when they do invest in iran because clearly if european union if european investment dries up iran will have very little incentive at all to stay with the agreement now there has in the past been occasional resort to by the european union and of what is known as a blocking resolution which essentially tells member countries that they do not need to comply with the extraterritorial application of u.s. sanctions that has been used for example in regard to u.s. sanctions in connection with cuba possibly they may be looking into such a thing here and now but it's still early days and we don't know exactly what steps they're considering let me show you a tweet from the united states a newly installed ambassador to germany this is what he tweeted shortly after yesterday's announcement donald trump said u.s. sanctions will target critical sectors of iran's ec

to divert is the european commission we have the duty to protect european companies so we knew me to act and this is why we're launching the process of activating the blocking statute from one thousand nine hundred six. but you're a busy. doing is using a statute initially developed to circumvent washington's trade embargo on cuba the law basically protects european states from laws or sanctions implemented outside of europe if you can see a political resolution prompts bully boy tactics haven't gone down well in europe the block is finally showing its teeth. what do we want to be able to be blinded to what american style new or do we want us europeans to say people have an economic interest and we want to have economic relations with russia what can you say every relationship has its bumps it's just that some bumps and didn't divorce. former russian spy service cripple who was poisoned by a nerve agent in the united kingdom has been discharged from hospital in his daughter were admitted on march the fourth now to being exposed to a substance known as novacek in the city of seoul spr

stupid and tragic the european union has filed preliminary complaints but the w.t. was seeking to pressure the trumpet ministration by targeting u.s. goods produced in states that don't go into the white house you know we're talking about on holiday davidson bikes produced in response and you know whiskey from kentucky etc. it seems to be a very specific case of mixing politics and economics you know you try to pinch us economically we will try to hurt you when it hurts the most politically is that a fair game as far as europe is concerned because the europeans have long been very moralistic when russia tries to mix politics and economics what would you. trump is doing what he does he's doing what he does because it she'd into his electorate but i'm asking you do you think it's a fair game of course is a thing what's wrong with well i mean what's wrong when you subsidize got gas for your neighbor and expect a certain political outcome to happen there what's wrong with bad but apparently you know in your crane the european union didn't like russia having both economi

when the europeans in the u.s.ether had the sanctions in place, now these sanctions are also directed when i are imposed in 18- days against -- in 180 days against european companies doing business is. these are secondary effects of the sanctions. this is -- frederico marguerite he has vowed she will protect these interests and there are some ways you can build workarounds to the sanctions and maybe protect these interests. but of course this will harm iranian interests as well because many german companies, banks, will not be reluctant to go into iran and do business there. so this is a real conflict of interest here. but still, paris, london and berlin have declared tonight they will stick to the deal and continue to work with iran is nobody knows what donald trump is up to, how he will have the leverage to force iran to go back to the negotiation table and to prevent them better from now not to build nuclear weapons. brent: bernd reigert and clare richardson, thank you. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu

but how can the europeans trust.when the government continues to imprison women like the british woman who went to visit her family, who according to all observers at that iran is in no way guilty of the crime she has been convicted of an just appears to europeans to be an egregious human rights abuse? let's be very frank. europeans, any time that something happens to one of their citizens and ah van, at their assumption and conclusion at the first minute is that they are innocent and the iranian government is guilty, even if, for example, american hikers, the answer iran illegally and this is definitely a crime, this is breaking law, the american government says i know, they are innocent and this is a human rights issue. —— iran. therefore, as far as the americans and europeans, they have no respect for the legal system of ah van and immediatelyjump up, then we're not going to resolve any humanitarian issues. ok, then let's persist with trust a little longer. 0ne persist with trust a little longer. one of the issues

friday the european commission launched a process same to preventing e.u. firms from being hit by u.s. sanctions under those plans european companies would be able to get compensation and loans if they were affected. later on monday the president plans to meet the leaders of the left leaning five star movement and the right wing northern league party to discuss the formation of a new coalition government meanwhile the poll finds most italians backed the largely anti e.u. program agreed on by the parties. must do something about immigration because it's a mess and like the color plan of course who want lower taxes especially for businesses so the league got too harsh on immigration we need to solve this problem but with a more moderate approach but i'm worried about five star and the league are going to make good on these promises it will be difficult because the powers the strong the. new prime minister may also be put forward on monday the coalition is expected to nominate a law professor just said be content is a relative unknown in political and public l

expense of other partners in the european monetary union it has an european approach in which way in what way because we're talking about european reforms and overhauling the euro zone but the germans are against that right well or at least the majority of german economists would say very much in favor of getting back to everyone swear to the strict rules of the maastricht treaty and these rules have not been obeyed in the last ten years they were strict they were strict rules but they were never in full they were not really in force and the new italian government all seems to knowledge that they do not own the careful that but it's absolutely important that we come to a monetary consensus if you want to make this monetary union exists x. why can't we have both strict rules and more integration well integration should not be. a target in itself we have to ask what shall the integrate and what shall be left to competition he wants we must never forget that the strength of europe is its diversity this has brought this continent to the top of all other countries and this is the source o

now the european commission has triggered legislation aimed at protecting european companies from u.s. sanctions on iran on wednesday the blocks leaders decided to activate what is called the blocking statute its main purpose is to forbid e.u. companies from complying with the extraterritorial implications of u.s. sanctions also the european commission is allowing the european investment bank to support you investment in iran and encouraging member states to explore the possibility of one off bank transfers to the central bank of iran the european union is committed to mitigating the impact of u.s. sanctions on european businesses and taking steps to maintain the growth of trade and economic relations between the e.u. and iran that began when sanctions were lifted. or the blocking statute was created more than two decades ago but never has been applied for but has never been applied before the decision was taken after several major companies announce that because thing ties with iran amid the threat of punishment from washington. no arguing with it america and europe had something spe

i would say propaganda about your sceptical about the european decline european person isn't. under a towel in this line because it's not true because their eyes are new generation what they call their national generation the new generation the majority are they what they are asking for more europe the point that the leadership today in europe has not been able to give good news to the people they have not be able to understand they have not even implementing the treaties the hundred be excerpted the capacity of european union and so the new generation more european i know for my family my my daughters. my son of the people that are critical with the e.u. institution today i want something as you are critical of the institution with the leadership that others in the us would have septic not people cannot renounce to what has such evil europe. so these message that you were trying to convey everywhere that europe is free and europeans hot on decline is not right you heard what what the people talk about you refer this isn't i mean marion le pen almost became president now and y

european union cannot. react to that we've told you kind of reaction so really you need to introduce a sort of a dispute. on the on the w t o love of country knowledge and it is covering all those. measures do you consider is in part to tease on u.s. products such as motorcycles whiskey cranberries and oranges mexico is also contemplating countermeasures. are everybody's trying to digest what this all means let's bring washington correspondent claire richardson and correspondent derek motus to help us make sense of all this clare want to start off with you if i may how is the commerce secretary the senate the american decision to slap its allies and biggest trading partners with these terrorists. well when the trump administration first announced these tariffs back in march they said that the tariffs were essential for national security reasons that having strong u.s. domestic production of steel and aluminum was important for national defense now of course key allies see them as unfair trade practices and

the european union. under the treaties of european union you must have a border judges goods moving across to eu to non-e.u. border. you have to have a way to put on tariffs. you have to have a way to control the movement of persons and services. more importantly for the uk, all of the regulatory issues that go along with the movement of a good. so the question becomes how do you put a border between ireland and northern ireland without completing upsetting the peace accords that came about after the result of the end of, as they call it the troubles. this is really the heart and soul of the problem. it is 310 miles of border if you look at all the craggs and crannies between northern ireland and ireland with 400 crossing points. nobody has been able to figure out how to get around that. what is on the table right now, the european put forward a withdrawal proposal, their tax or their way to fix it which effectively creates a border along the irish sea. treat northern ireland and ireland as one area and

could a breakthrough be around the corner after president all chant extended a tariff exemption on european metals washington says talks with brussels could reduce trade tensions. as the old saying goes plenty more fish in the sea except when there's not the e.u. says it's time for a strict new quarter so. i'm going to humphrey in berlin good to have you with us germany is losing patience with washington's trade brinkmanship the german economy minister saying raising tariffs is the wrong way of going about things that would hurt jobs in germany europe and the u.s. says delaying the decision as trump did just hours before the midnight deadline is also a big problem especially as businesses have no way of planning for the future. messiah of relief for the european steel industry at least for now the next four weeks the e.u. can continue to sell steel and aluminum to the u.s. without additional tariffs. back in march donald trump signed off on plans to impose tariffs of twenty five percent on steel imports and ten percent on ru minium two weeks later he granted the e.u. and several countries a

and what lies more closely than the open european market?o we expect a deflection of trade from countries such as turkey, or iran, coming toward the european union. reporter: the economic minister is disappointed as well in germany. >> todayay's decision by thu.u.. governrnnt is wrong. it is harmful for europe, as well as the united states. reporter: the eu is already preparing retaliatory measures. >> this is a bad day for the world. the european union cannot react to that without any kikind of reaction, so we will immediately inintroduce a settlement dispute on the wto. reporter: the year considering -- and the european union is considering duties on motorcycles, bourbon, cranberries and origin -- or just. mexico and canada are also contemplating countermeasures. brent: i am joined tonight by our correspondent clare richardson and georg mathis. clare, how has the commerce secretary from the u.s. defended the american decision to slap allies and its biggest trading partners with these tariffs? clare: wilbur ross tried to turn this on its he

threatening some type of sanctions against its european allies over iran. well some european diplomats in brussels say this is the only way you can read it because these sanctions imposed unilaterally without the european union involved in this is different to the situation we had before that you're around you when the europeans and the us together at these sanctions and plays and now these sanctions also directed when they are imposed in one hundred eighty days against european companies doing business these are the so-called secondary effects of these sanctions and this is a real threat to the economic interests of these companies and as i said today we can mobile really has vowed that she will protect this interest and there are some some ways you can circumvent that too you can build some work arounds to these sanctions and maybe protect the interests but of course that this will harm your anian interests as well because many german companies and banks for example would not be reluctant to go into iran and do business there and so this is a real conflic

there was a european commitment -- >> everyone in the european union agrees the agreement isn't remain inut we should this agreement and conduct further negotiations with iran. >> to bring us more, i'm joined in the studio by our europe editor. today? the latest >> in the last 30 minutes or so, we've heard from theresa may via her spokeswoman, we've been hearing more determination from her, similar to what we've been hearing from other european leaders. she met with angela merkel and president macron privately on the sidelines and said the u.k. is committed to supporting the iran nuclear deal. all three agreed that it's important that iran continues to meet its side of the deal as well. we've talked a lot about the european response, these leaders reiterating that iran has to stand up to the nondevelopment of ballistic missiles. we will be hearing more within the next hour from the european council president, donald tusk, and hopefully emmanuel macron. so far, we've only heard determination from a leaders to keep this deal alive. as long as iran sticks to the deal, europe sticks to the

european leaders are a great. council president whom we just heard, he talked to leaders before he goes to a meeting like this and before he speaks publicly. he mirrors what he heard behind the scenes on the telephone and in personal meetings, particularly from macron in france. it is serious because he feels he has been made an idiot in washington, paraded around for three days, then leaving empty-handed. then trump says ha ha, i will cancel the deal. european leaders are furiou. the transatlantic relationship, you can't even talk about it. it doesn't exist, it is on the ice, in deep freeze somewhere. they are trying to figure out how can they stand up against what they see as absolute and utter bullying by donald trump. brent: some people may: bullying, other may say it is the cold hard facts of the power of a superpower. the european union is not backing down from the iran nuclear deal, but how far is brussels prepared to go? at the end of the day, europe is powerless in the face of u.s. sanctions, isn't it? re

and european union more broadly have been insistent almost from day one the day after the referendum took place that they will stand by island and that on the border question the has to be a solution that is acceptable to the republic of ireland they've not budge from that position now the u.k. government has come up with a whole variety of slogans and cliches since that referendum saying there will be no return to a hard border that we no infrastructure the british women's already hinting that rowing back from that no you infrastructure because it's talking about technological solutions well you technology has to be put in place somewhere i wouldn't want to be the first person in strand to install border installations it's not just myself that would say that the chief constable of northern ireland has warned that it would be reckless to try and install anything at the border to try and reinvigorate a border there was a conflict about that border that cost three thousand six hundred lives only recently to try and reactivate a border which was you know which had largely gone silence a

when european union behaves turkey that on the turkey needs european union turkey needs european union and european union needs turkey we are everywhere of this but some european countries unfortunately don't see the fact so why so you don't leave you a new man or you set your needle tongue trees in the european union actually against turkey your membership may be my shirt off the e.u. countries you member states actually are in favor of turkish actually you know one membership anymore he said you struck not you have to live here as it were the reaction to this is the reaction of the country who has been waiting at the door for sixty years ok sixty years so as a way that it is turkey's mistake so why for years so why threaten europe in march last year when the diplomatic pressure on what can what kind of threatening in march last year when there's a magic route with germany was at its height your president said that if europe continues this way no european in any part of the world can walk safely on the streets that's what he said. that's a threat now that i read a stretch no it is not
