the european parliament just has a has a role of whether they agree. but of course there has also been migration pressures other pressures are the worries about those countries joining the border freeze particularly arising for the events in north africa the arab spring which of course has been pretty well but one of the offshoots of migration across the mediterranean tragically with hundreds of people dying actually in the med but pressures on countries like italy and greece pressures with which they should have better than they have put the fear is that if you don't have internal borders migrants can move north and west across the e.u. without encountering passport. checks as well as you say that you have you have concerns about a border free zone there and concerns about what's going to a legal immigrants here what would you propose then how would you support the borders as you as you have suggested well as i say actually rumania i'm gary have passed the test asset and assessed by the european commission for the way that they manage their external b

disaster as the government is saying on the contrary it's going to be a very positive step and a european parliament member david campbell bannerman believes that the euro is a political prison for greece and salvation lies in a return to its national currency the track with. the question now is are we throwing good money after bad money you know how many billions can you throw at this you know the tolerance of the people for carts for extra taxes as we see it in greece there's real trouble there where there's trouble in spain and ireland particularly i think it's in major trouble the euro and i have been saying for some time i do believe it will collapse either in part or totally and probably quite shortly now but to be honest i think you leave your is a political prison for for countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from their prison recreate their own currencies have devaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and they'll get back and on their feet i think they should go back to the drachma i think they need to get out the

controlled european parliament member philip. ice says that with the multiculturalist politics fading it may be time for more radical solutions. we've always been told that multiculturalism and was going to be great and was going to solve a lot of problems on the contrary it has become a problem in itself and it's very important that everyone should be able to know to put forward his own solutions to the problem and that it is balanced and free debate people from outside of europe who come to any country in the european union should that themselves through the local laws the local way of living as a romans do and this is very important multiculturalism in reality does not work in europe we are seeing big problems in major cities major capitals in western europe where we see power societies that have emerged you know with so many people who don't feel they have to adapt themselves to the way of living in the country they went to and so this has to change i think we need a much more restrictive immigration and integration policy. o

no i think at the moment it's an overwhelming majority in the member states and also in the european parliament opposing this agreement in this form of course differences in the way people. are dealing with this in the way they argument but at the moment the e.u. . together in its position that this agreement should be improved or changed . of course britain's more open for data processing in that form but i think there's a majority of member states and the european parliament who want to have strong fundamental rights and clear rules for data protection but america says it needs passengers personal data in order to fight terrorism crime and illegal migration is not a good thing. of course we need to fight terrorism and organized transnational crime but as you said they want to use it also to fight the faults of crime and immigration measures and to create immigration measures these provisions which are open to everything so even if you are suspect of drunken driving or something like this you could be suspect of use p.n. are. profiling measures and this is far too much as the europeans always
