the justice of the european parliament these are mostly already closed issues between the the european commission and the so. in general brad wrestles have lots of demands when it comes to hungary and there you know actually saying that if hungary doesn't meet those demands whether it's judiciary or frame or pratt or immigration they're actually saying that well may not find you in the next year budget so here's i think it's only that whatever you give the only makes up six percent of your budget first of all is it worth it is is that money worth doing everything they want you to do because i know that mr a bank has said you know we don't have to live off german money anyways well you know hunger is interest is european union to be strong because we. a strong conquering needs a strong european union because we have a very open economy and seventy nine percent of our exports goes to the european union we have an export over g.d.p. ratio around ninety percent so you can imagine how significant for us it is the european union to be stronger and european union to have a competitive economy

european union is a uni and that crosses state boundaries and that's like a core principle of european union and european union is based on principles of liberalism your country is and nation based conservative country which is not a good thing or a bad thing russia is the same way so. on the ideological level there are like just so many differences in the basis it's not about economics like why do you want to be part of the union so much that opposes everything that you guys stand for where the chile. is not everything is opposed the very things you know if you know if you look at the statistics for example how many infringement procedures are going on against us and others you will see that we are some they are in the middle so there is nothing extraordinary in this regard yeah we we have definitely debates based on ideology as well for example you know when it comes to the fact that when. and the election is not won by the liberals then the system is immediately goes to a does not a democracy which is totally unacceptable if the liberals do what we need to be a democracy of course s

into something like the european monetary fund so additional safeguards that no mention of a european finance minister that is something i'm unaware mccall certainly wanted and the big question for me he is still is how much money will be backing this in the end and i think this is what they talked about when they say that they will work out more details clearly this is a position here that they want to have something to bargain with when the end to those crucial talks at the e.u. summit coming up in just under two weeks time or in some broad strokes as you're seeing there michelle are coming to you simon because you know this comes at a time where migration is such a big issue here in germany and we understand that the interior minister who has been putting the chancellor under pressure to find a solution on migration in two weeks' time that he is also there and made the book . indeed we just saw his motorcade arriving here about fifteen minutes ago during while that press conference is going on just around the corner and of course the this meeting here a meeting not just of the t. h

the european union general data protection regulations g.d.p. are went into effect on may twenty fifth in an effort to protect the privacy of european union residents what does it do when will it work as attorney and global privacy expert miles edward miles thank you so much for being with us really appreciate the g.d.p. are lousy you residents to access their collected information and have the information amended or even deleted how does that actually work and what else does this regulation do. well first of all thank you bart for inviting me on what it's does is well first of all i think we've all seen the implications of g.d.p. already you probably already have received an e-mail saying do you consent to receiving this information do you consent to still being on our list so one thing to keep in mind is that for us firms especially you don't need to have a physical presence in the e.u. to be subject to it if you store data or you have clients in the e.u. you are subject to it and vice versa so many american citizens already have been receivin

now i'm joined by one can choose the former chancellor of australia and former president of the european council chancellor it's a great honor talking to thank you very much for your time and now you've heard my introduction and as far fashed as it may be i feel like there is that. a bit of a competition for europe's hearts. you have any american administration treating europe with less subtlety in them europe is used to now you have russia which is quite plainly asks me in that how do you see me here and will react so that. those who are on the american side don't see that really a competition for hearts this is more. to. fight to leave because they believe they have you already but this is maybe a little bit maybe a little bit wrong the. wrong side didn't intend to be faulted to because i think we should also put taked always interests and we are a good partner economically trade we we speak to international law and due to national norms but it would was close interesting good here to primakov readings to to listen. away in the sure india in a disciplined just because i'm used to go sh

it's a for european workers etc well making sure that all these can be achieved before the european elections that will take place in one ear time and i think the government all board or not on this the months will be very crucial for us you know eight zero is one of the most most relevant economies in europe but also one of the most relevant countries it depends on them if they want really to have a role in this discussion or not if they have to be power if they want to be powerful or to be they want to be completely ruled out from the discussion and from the decision making process so we are really facing a crucial and very enigmatic moment it will be very important and interesting for us to understand what they are going to do in this respect this our priorities and we are going to discuss with them if they will be able to listen to us of course look at isn't easy the general secretary of the european trade union confederation thank you so much mr general secretary preaching your time. thank you very much for that let's just in time now for a quick break but i hang here because when we ret

i don't find any particular surprising our heard a lot of europeans suggest that the trouble. ministration is already actively undermining european interest by for example walking out of the j.c. ferry which present a security threat by raising the specter of another war plus it comes with the fragile secondary sanctions which of these two do you think is more dangerous or more threatening to european interests at this point of deduces really dangerous this is threatening our economic and political interests that think we should stand up against. pinsky's because you to absolutely eakins the international law that this was just to be around the green in these notes i literally lose my two lives to literally freeman based on this here on the united nations security council resolution binding resolution twenty two thirty one and the c b two withdrawal from d.c. cream it is a violation of international chancellor with all due respect how do exact quest to end up to that because your trade with the united states is i think in the range of six hundred billion dollars are you ready

the general secretary of the european trade union confederation here is that conversation. and immigration is an issue that has divided the u.s. labor movement in the past before they reached their current pro immigrant position but immigration also is a key component of europe in politics and in recent years this issue has been continually controversial mr general secretary what's the what's your position on immigration and the specific problem and choices facing the e.u. . what within the the european union and europe more in general were not able to address this emergency in the proper way international rules were not respected few countries including he told me my own country were completely left alone you know addressing this emergency and inserting a rescue people at sea and trying to avoid an immense a strategy to a tragedy to happen but that was already coming from the large majority of member states of the european union the didn't give an end at all to eataly greece but also to some other countries like germany and sweden the tried to welcome some of these refugee

as a step in the right direction but european council president. it will be difficult to implement even if they may be announcements of libya's coast guard said one hundred more migrants afia dead after their boat capsized in the mediterranean also on the program. second chances the football world cup in russia is down to the final sixteen. to take the top spot in croup she will bring you the highlights of. the group's other. i'm phil gale welcome to the program a huge lead is a celebrating reaching a tentative deal to migration but the signatures have barely dried but more news emerged of migrants risking their lives at sea to reach european shows the libyan coast guard says it rescued three hundred people from several boats and run into difficulties off the country's kunst in a separate incident on the same coast about one hundred people are believed to have drowned after their boat capsized. the e.u. migration plan is ambitious though lacking anything in the way of detail european council president donald tusk admits that it was too early to cla

and the cpu has a strong european tradition. a strong european tradition.trong european members will stick to what they have agreed. you mention a strong transition team. what about members like hungry and poland? will they stick to these quotas they have been assigned? problem of a sanctioning. figures are circulating how much each country should take. this is not implemented to some extent. the e.u. is working on this. ther eis ongoing work. it depends on if the glass is half full or half empty. has been promising a european solution and on that symbolism, she has brought back something. matt: urika, thank you. we are talking about the deal that was struck in brussels and how that will affect negotiations in berlin. let's look at the stock of the hour. we have chosen fiat-chrysler. it is doing quite well in today's session. , and i will report say those reports are not from , the "asia-times" is reporting hyundai interest in fiat chrysler. and -- theyto try are going to try and deal with this carmaker after making it much bigger. there was an expected dec

the the reflex position of european leaders which is to say that we need to european solution to this problem is precisely wrong it is precisely the fact that we have a european union with a borderless internal space the showing an area which has caused the migration problem in the first place i first visited the song at camp near cali in the late one nine hundred ninety s. the migration crisis that we're talking about now didn't start in two thousand and fifteen it started in the one nine hundred ninety s. when italy joined the schengen zone and from that moment onwards the borders of the mediterranean were on the english channel yeah and it's there is a direct relation of cause and effect and what we saw in two thousand and sixteen after hungary and creation and the other countries built fences to close off the balkan route is that national solutions are the ones that solve this problem not european ones and we are now i hope seeing the same result. with the italians who are taking matters into their own hands nationally defending their national territory and it's only by doing that

first i wrote the world's first novel about the european union because i. really can't see even that i wanted to talk about the world we live in and take in the us and how it came to be i want to understand it fifteen. does it matter when my friends are president and money and german chancellor i'm going to want to reform the e.u. for me given five feet i say that is. necessary and a practical level but not satisfactory because i did not have the opportunity to vote for either mr mccraw or ms merkel. in the kind of europe by envisioned there would be no more leaders or leading nations for quite a few minutes here on the. inside much time to zero paths to reinvent itself. we've heard this song since frank and i would say two generations for one simple reason i call today's young people to erasmus a generation are also in the grips here as most program lets them study anywhere in the room and they will be in charge so we don't need to explain to them what europe is all about they're creating a new reality and the generation after them will know how to advance

discussion about the values of european integration about the prospects of european integration and about a road map. how to go about it and taking into account some of the issues that have been. going as far as you're bringing up a very good point there let me go to marco and milan but you know my sense is brussels doesn't really care about what the people of the e.u. think about the strategy ahead because they don't have european union wide election on should we continue integration should we vote on a constitution that it's not done that way and i think that's part of the alienation of a lot of the publics in the european union theophanous brought up something that i think is interesting is this a one off italy in a certain moment in political and economic and social history or is it really part of this wave that the upon us mentioned in london go ahead marco in milan. yeah i don't. see the european union it is real cold war tool it's not the united states what one voice when single as you are now we're and then right now it's rare not that many. and it's a lot of who want. to so

to claim success but said it was an important step despite this it came as a great relief to many european leaders. at the start of the second round of the brussels summit was delayed by two hours the reason a long night of negotiations at the end of which the leaders managed to reach a compromise on migration. and visits to i'm very satisfied with the senate's a great victory for me europe has been able to make a decision even if it sometimes takes time we want to protect our citizens but we also have to stand up for the protection of people in need of help so that. the leaders grappled with tightening asylum policy for around twelve hours the new italian prime minister just happy contouri threatened to block the measures until he finally got what he wanted. rescued refugees will in future be taken to closed reception centers with in the e.u. this is meant to relieve countries like italy at the same time camps are to be set up in northern african countries so that fewer migrants will make their way across the mediterranean in addition the european union wants to invest more money than bef

want to have a european. agency that works in harmony where all member states are we have also strengthened our determination to be strengthening solidarity and responsibility within the european union or with the registration of the arriving and also a quick examination of the asylum request and also a firm stance on those who have a not received any right to stay and we want to discuss this in concrete terms at the coming european cars. summit the one to review of the dublin regulation which is also a project on which we have common view was. far as this issue is concerned meaning need to certainly have more sovereignty we need to have more capacity to protect our common border lines but we need also a mechanism of solidarity outside our borders and also inside our borders and that's what i mean this is exactly the same philosophy that has a perforated of our discussions when it comes to economy looking at the euro zone economy well what's missing is solid dairy and. we are pushed around by the decisions bu

summit was crucial for german chancellor i'm going to back all she needed a viable european solution to the migration issue to head off a revolt in her own coalition government the chancellor has been under pressure from interior minister jose hoffa of the conservative varian c.s.u. he threatened to defy her and introduce border controls in germany if she didn't get a deal at the european level the c.s.u. has given chancellor merkel until this weekend to secure such a do. is given from political correspondent report to read about welcome rupert so is this summit enough to save america. well at least anglo-american health thinks that she has reason to be optimistic and so far what we have heard from her conservative bloc of c.d.u. and sees you these two parties which have been so much at odds during the last two weeks she's quite rightly to do so. both parties seem to have chosen to pick whatever they need to most of the sees you the strong critics of anglo markel say that only the pressure that they have applied to the chancellor and to the government has made this outcome possible t

hopes to be elected one day to the european parliament well while we have you. listening to donald tusk just then what do you see as the biggest difficult tasks that remain unresolved since there's been no progress on breaks at a summit and has been progress for months because the main outstanding issues that we knew about six months ago or twelve months ago still unresolved the biggest of those is the irish border issue no one knows how to for the brits to bret's it and keep the irish border open there are also outstanding issues to do with contributions to the you budget and citizens' rights so essentially you could pose that question the other way around essentially saying actually have we made any progress towards a breakthrough deal at all and actually in the last few months we've not moved on in what in any of the significant areas and the e.u. i think is as a great p.r. job here of standing around saying and pretending to all appearing giving the appearance of being open honest and waiting for britain to just sort itself out but there are there are two pa

in the european market would you sing would have they need the european money they need it badly we are as anything it's really europe. look do you think it's realistic for the us to do as they do to us maybe i mean they may have try to use it during their lives or think it's realistic not to react and it's also not very realistic because you're having a reaction for four years if we don't read that if we don't we are going to lose the battle for the hearts and minds of the voters tell me why people would believe in europe if we can see so much if any french company or european company asked to go to washington with lawyers a little and so on and the police can they do business can you tell me if i can do business here or there this is not acceptable on a point of view. i believe in the national sovereignty i believe that europe is it makes me stronger that's why i mean europe but if europe all going to sort of a collective collapse because this is what's happening nobody is making decisions this moment we are weak on many fronts and women. by the way. also for chinese companies or russ

a european level or through bilateral agreements. there is. essentially the option of doing this in accordance with european law to turn away i'm done contented to sign seekers at the border then that would be wonderful and we certainly wish the chancellor every success in achieving us that we remain clearly getting with the position that if this doesn't succeed that we want to say to ensure that it is possible to turn away this loophole at the border now from after it is in for. the original decision to do this immediately i wanted to make this a little bit more specific as soon as i'm back and berlin well it's well those border. the german border police. turn away anyone who has a ban on entering germany or who does not have a residence permit and in germany on the goods they will be turned away at the borders immediately. this will not take place today both of may not. and in cuba. my recent time in my position i have found out that this isn't being done i cannot explain why we are not turning away people who are around only enter

union but to have all of the trade advantages and the european union saying no that's not. until now the european union has stood by it's essential he said britain comes to us with a workable solution and then we'll talk and britain still hasn't come forward with a workable solution ok so. again we hear from the e.u. leaders that we just said that time is short the deadline is there the end of march next year but time's up that short because if both parties want to that you say well we'll keep talking they could both have a strong incentive to not do so at the moment all numbers you cite to reason may also more time she would face mutiny in her own conservative party because the result of the people who have been demanding breaks it all along so if she she needs to demonstrate to her own members of parliament she's determined and committed only european union side european union politicians actually want the british to get on with it and don't want to keep on talking and talking and talking now ultimately if it gets to five minutes to midnight and you've still got got to de

this is not their head way to do that and i'm just struck that the european union. you know in itself was built on the cutting tax tariff first remember it was a custom union freeing them up with low free circulation of people and consolidate democracy and peace so the link between openness and trade and openness of society has always been xeni lion of the western countries so you cannot you know we tend to discover that politics and economy links of course selling the traditional free trade school really in the end do sex and country and all the. u.k. germany us that the more it's free choice have to that's why as a public in the us was always pro trade trump is not proof we trade and use this question in a very spectacular way. but you know and china has a point to diffuse it with china is huge by the way we have a huge deficit in france with china and we need to fix it we are too complacent the problem is there is no trade as you know in europe trade policy is federal you have a permission to do that and it's so you need to show collective power in order to do so

as european challenges that require universe -- european solutions.ountries will deal with it separately. i support the former approach. greatlexis tsipras, the prime minister speaking to our editor-in-chief. this is being talked about as make or break for merkel on the issue of migration. does she get a deal she needs? be hard forng to angela merkel to get that deal she wants. the tension in the stories is she has to get back home to germany with the message that shows i am being tough on immigration especially when it comes to asylum requests. we know that her allies are urging her to get tough or they might pull the plug. the problem here is the european states, this friend -- frontier states like greece, italy, spain they are saying solidarity is great but we need a much more comprehensive immigration reform. the issue is how do you appease those frontier states if you need to limit secondary movement but get back home to germany and present it as a win. guy: in terms of the brexit story, what can we expect on that? and expected to be a summit tha

percent on aluminum the european reaction is clear. it is unfortunate because this is further weakening the transatlantic relations and it also increases the risk of severe turbulence is in the markets globally protectionism can never be a solution and this will hurt jobs here in the european union but also in the u.s. the e.u. has launched an official complaint at the world trade organization. they want to introduce counter measures like tariffs on u.s. products for example bourbon whiskey motorcycles and jeans worth some two point eight billion euros e.u. member states are meeting next week to decide on the exact list many economists agree with the measure europe as a very big economy and a very important market for u.s. products has a lot of influence and that's why it's right to show the u.s. that they can't just do whatever they want the e.u. must use countermeasures to steer the process in the right direction. but it's those who are affected most who are speaking out against new e.u. tariff son u.s. products or taking other measu

who wants to find a european solution. so with fear is spreading that the deadlock could bring down the german government has no denying it he's trying to split the conservative block he said this to the built newspaper nobody in the c.s.u. is interested in toppling the child dissolving the conservative palm tree group or breaking up the coalition. bring in our chief political correspondent linda crane melinda we now have apparently the interior minister hall seeable for softening his position somewhat is this the beginning of a compromise between him and chancellor merkel hard to say for sure because we are also seeing reports this morning that he told a circle of the the bavarian conservative party's leadership that's the c.s.u. party that's at the heart of this whole dispute he told them apparently i can't work with that woman anymore be firming the two chancellor merkel so that makes it sound as if he is still seeing this as an absolute head to head power struggle but he did go on in the quote that he that you gave us

he cheered as a candidate and still cheers the break up of the european union, he traffics european white nationalist progun did a through his social media -- propaganda through his social media feed, and recently announced russia should rejoin the g7 without consulting with our european partners. this is all led one of the greatest friends of the u.s./europe relationship, the swedish foreign minister to say is putin interfering and trying to destabilize the policies of eu? yes. but trump at the moment is far worse. the president's hostility toward the eu is making the challenges we face jointly all the more difficult. the united states should be standing side by side with all allies in europe, not trying to break apart this relationship. i hope you will continue to serve as a bulwark against the worst of the attacks from the president, but you and the other supporters of the u.s./eu alliance are losing this argument within the administration badly so far. we are very lucky to have you and many others trying to win that argument, but unfortunately you've come out on the wrong side, and i

the european union that. i have an additional euro zone budget we called it in the best comment by jet for the e.u. from one to twenty one parallel to the medium term financial forecasts of the next step. and that means that convergence and stability are will be strengthened this is why in this way and this is why. we mustn't go down into sort of lowest common denominator but look at the level of performance of our high flyers you get these are keep parameters of the coalition up i noticed while to really and you actually ask yourselves it has to be the case that everyone agrees with the rules of play in every member states tonsil for their own budgets a kind of liability and starting a lies with each of the member states growth and stability go hand in hand and this is while it is not one of friday that is tomorrow at the within council meeting in the format and the nineteen member states of the eurozone as well as anyone else who wants to take part in this meeting we'll be deliberating these proposals put f

solutions and cooperation for my part time fighting for european solutions and european cooperation. million year old son dishing good. as things stand that seems a distant prospect the rescue ship lifeline is just the latest in a strange deeply divided only after days sailing round the mediterranean has the vessel been allowed to dock in malta. italy's prime minister qantas said to confront merkel at the summit he is adamant he will not be talked into letting migrants back in come to run through form the dublin agreement specifically that the country where refugees first the rise should no longer be responsible for them . is crucial we're expecting action not just talk to. within the e.u. hungary takes a hard line on migration its prime minister favors a populist approach why fuel migrants have come to europe in recent years he's sticking to his policy of no tolerance. i think the people request to sing so first is new migrants maureen was told them and the second is. to bring back so that's what the people we all saw i think we. will do to restore the utopian democracy we have to m

what will the european central bank do next? the japan times says that airbnb has axed 80% of its listings ahead of new tighter regulations that come into force next week. and finally the scottish daily mail has on the front page that scotland is to be the first part of the uk to introduce a deposit return scheme on cans and bottles. so let's begin. jonathan charles is managing director for communications at the european bank for reconstruction and development hello. i am here and ready to go. he is back and braced for wrecks at. the latest twist in turn is quite significant. it is the gift that keeps on giving, brexit. we are approaching a significant crunch point to give you look at theresa may over the last few years she has tried hard to kick the can down the road to try not to admit to the moment when she has to take a very strong position that upsets one wing of her party or another. be they remain as or levers, soft, hard, however you wish to characterise them. there is a cabinet discussion today about continuing a close

one issue, more than any other, is polarising european politics and dividing the european union — migrationermany it threatens angela merkel‘s grip on power. from italy to austria, to hungary and poland, it is driving policies and threatened to smash continental consensus. my guest karin kneissl is the foreign minister in austria's right—wing nationalist coalition government. are europeans finding their authentic voice or is a dangerous brand of populism poisoning politics? karin kneissl, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for the invitation. thank you forjoining us from vienna. i think we have to begin with migration. opinion surveys across europe show it is now the european public‘s number one concern. they appear to be apprehensive, they appear to be frightened about immigration. and, yet, the numbers of immigrants coming into europe year on year, right now, are actually going down. so how can you explain the rising apprehension? well, we have seen the year 2015, and i think one of the main reasons why british voters voted to say yes to brexit was because there was a sensation of loss of con

this is a pan—european crisis.on also changes the particular sticking points especially for southern european countries are the 3% fiscal discipline rule and the way that europe has not handled the flow of migrants and refugees, we are in trouble all around. so brexit is just part of that, agnes, but do you think this particular conflict this week tells us anything about how the two sides are shaping up ahead of that eu summit? there will be a cast of new prime ministers not least the new leader in spain and also in italy. well, brexit. so we learned a new word, backstop. and barnier, the irony was not lost on him. he said backstop means backstop! unless it is a stopgap. look, this is all about the irish border. the border between the european union and the uk. that is to say between ireland and northern ireland. ok, so no hard border between those two. it means the border there but northern ireland will be in the customs union and will be treated differently. and that is not acceptable. to have the sort of crisis

has with regard to the european union.n your daynow that job, besides working with republicans overseas, you are involved in the financial sector . that means you are involved in cross-border financial flows. are you not concerned that the risks of this action could be a lot greater than the potential gains? we are talking about only an overall difference of 1.7%, is it really worth risking a trade war? ralph: first of all, no, it's not. i don't see a trade war, first of all. second, i want to add something to the figure. i have figured the trade could be up to 2.5%, but let's put it 2%.een 1.7% and there is still quite a difference referring to the volume of trade, first of all. melinda: referring to duties. to actual tariffs as they stand on a broad range of products -- ralph: and it was at one point negotiated. absolute correct. at one point, trades developed in moore, so there is an imbalance, in a think it needs to be fixed. i think it was a very mild shock , and i think we should now go into talks. just like as you m

of today's most important german language authors you're a passionate champion of europe and the european union and that's the subject of your latest novel the count but it's come out at a time when many people are upset about the e.u. with all its internal divisions and they don't care much for europe kratz. are you hopelessly idealistic and if. this is even a comment on how you can support the idea of europe and still be very critical of the current state of the e.u. at the swift there will be for you or anything else would be ridiculous. if you ignore problems you lose credibility that. if you want to advance the european project you have to criticize the way things are right now could you see that the concept is worth defending we need to develop a vision of what we want for the continent of these were quote on the basis of something that can be summed up in a single sentence or something that everyone can agree with doing. no european country not even large states like germany will be able to master on itself the nickels or the great challenges that we face. as the rest of us even. i

that is not a european export. one of the strategies that might happen as a result of all of this might be coming on luxury german cars -- a total ban on those. what is the impact should that take place? guest: the administration has launched another national security investigation into whether imports of autos and auto parts might be a threat to international security. we think it will be a hard case to prove. i think it will be a lively domestic discussion in the united states. many consumers, even the u.s. auto industry, will have strong views on this. the announcement of the investigation is only the beginning of a process. i will be tested to see how that debate plays out in the notices because i think many people would feel imposing tariffs on autos would be totally counterproductive, and never forget that many european producers have substantial factories and outputs here. bmw is the largest exporter of cars in the united states, and indeed exports cars back to europe manufactured here in south carolina. hos

and all the piss is a european challenge that also needs a european response and i think this is one of the crucial issues for europe's. remind us also melinda you know why we were talking yesterday about her interior minister haas the hoff and what's driving him what is driving her why you know is she so steadfast about. opposing the national solution to her interim minister once the fact is those southern european countries whom i mentioned the ones that are on the outer perimeter of the e.u. they have absolutely borne the brunt of this crisis from the beginning they have never had sufficient resources they have never had sufficient support from other e.u. member countries including unfortunately germany germany in its own way of course also has worn a norm the norm is burden but there is never been a coordinated approach the chancellor has repeatedly said we cannot go it alone she's criticize donald trump for going it alone and said unilateralism nationalism cannot be the answer to the complex challenges we face today she is hardly in a position then to do the very things she has

union what do you see is the solution as to how the how the european union can overcome these risks to the union stability especially in the face of nationalist populism. i mean my answer that question is proactivity you know if we try to just maintain the status quo but to allow populists to promise the world even though they counter liveris to create fears on the back of you know genuine concerns around people security and terrorism and radicalization and so on if we allow that type of populism to take hold well then managing a politically is going to be very very difficult in the future for the european union so this is the time for the center to stand up in terms of politics to build narratives and visions that can excite people in terms of what the european union could together as a collective can do as a power. the force not only for our improving quality of life across the european union but also to impact positively in other parts of the world that are going to impact on europe in the future if we don't become more proactive that is why in my view the european union establis
