let's see how they're getting on max out hoffman in paris so welcome max what do these two leaders want. well the most important piece of news that came out of the press conference held here by macular micro is probably that now it's official they want a second ellie's a treaty the first of these a treaty having reached fifty five years of age and being the foundation basically for many ways of cooperating between the two countries and therefore a symbol of peace and also friendship between the two countries and they want a new one that is adapted to the twenty first century so both macro and micro confirmed that but at the same time of course they also talked about the challenges of what we call the reform of the european union you just mentioned two of those challenges but the german chancellor also insisted that this would include a defense cooperation even maybe a defense union and securing for example the external borders against illegal migration into the european union ok so that's sus some of what they want and whether they disagree. it's hard to say because both try to hide any

max hoffman has been following this story for us he joins us from strasburg imax varadkar has been laying out essential his vision for europe what more did he have to say. you know sometimes it's hard in the european union not to lose yourself in all the details there's so much going on so many different realities it's very bureaucratic so really to see the value of the european union sometimes you need to tape take a step back and look at the whole construction and that's exactly what the overall prime minister of ireland tried to do he said look in the global context we are a union of small countries because if you look at the lists with the largest cities the largest countries virtually none of them are european and that's how he tried to explain the value of the european union why it is so important to be together to really punch above its weight and then he also stressed something that for many european countries isn't that important anymore or at least it's not at the forefront of what people are thinking about in those countries anymore and that is the peace value that the european
