but first of all i haven't heard any firm and final numbers for i don't know or south stream or south stream or using a preliminary estimate which as it is likely to be only daughter of magnitude of ten billion euros for the offshore park and of like c. and approximately another five forty on shore part to the transit countries on the way to italy and austria. that's a very preliminary estimate the final budget will be available. and we take the final investment decision. and i think we'll have to wait and see therefore we review also. i do not have a good comparison with any other projects. this clear that a number of the participants and they have said so publicly expect much higher costs than originally estimated. and we will have to wait and see whatever they come up with when they take a final investment decision before doubt it is really until that point it's really not so we easy to talk about who is cheaper and more expensive the key is. if you have sufficient gas will sort of pipeline that of course significantly improves the economics and that seems to be an issue for some o

south stream pipeline may this be true. well we are looking at the overall route at the moment and the terminating. routing over the next few months and when that decision is being made sure all the aspects such as the position of transit country and others and fulfill be taken into account. they see where you laying the power pipeline is called the black sea and some some people say that that the south stream is a project there that may really turn the sea into black sea literally it's not black yet thank god that well i mean are they really huge environmental risks for the black sea i mean the little lane they the underwater pipeline. is this true . well i have to say you know all the questions about the environment impact in general of the project or in specific locations have to be taken very very seriously. if you look at a short pipeline project for natural gas such as north stream but also many many of those in the north sea for example the norwegian sector the british actor etc and elsewhere in the world you can rea

to japan and south korea right now there are -- today in south korea 64pac this protect u.s. bases and u.s. troops and if you're a south korean on a u.s. base you're protected. if you're a south korean in seoul you're not or other military base south korea needs pac3's and sm3s to protect their own population centers and bases. and they need to get in with an rbmd system and they need to do it right now. >> several questions on the succession process and the issue you raised with the three sons. the questions relate to the north korean army's acceptance of a son as their leader. is there any indication that the north korean army will accept whoever kim jong-il appoints. >> that's a very good question, sir. if you are a general in the north korean army you drive a mercedes. in the late 1990s kim jong-il issued a directive that all of his generals, division commander and above would be issued mercedes. why do i bring it up because general myatt articulation is very important. these are guys who understand because of the way the system works, because of the way it has worked sin

towards the south stream or do they still have questions about the project. well i think it was a very successful event so. there was a very good price and says not only of the many partners in the south stream project but also of e.u. officials and all servers from various institutions. we consider this session success also because the european commission are confirmed the importance of energy relations and of the southeast project as such. to those real agents and use the words this is clearly a priority also for the e.u. and we will find good ways to work with it and to support it so i think all in all . we are now at a point where we have a good basis for further and perhaps more detailed discussions. do you believe that you will succeed in getting a priority status for south stream in the event that exempting it from the european union rules requiring it to share its infrastructure with third parties. well there is an ongoing discussion between the european commission and the russian government about an overall agreement with regard to how gas infrastruc

something else but i think is very important to the south koreans need to consider is south korea if north korea implodes and and they fall apart going to anarchy they have the chinese ambassador to say it is time. the window is open it is time to unite with brothers and sisters. what does it take to keep you out? the chinese ambassador i can almost for sure will tell you a prepared list and read it to the president he of which is we have the following investments in north korea and you honor those investments when you move into north korea and we will leave you alone because china has invested usually and quadruple their investment over the past three years. that will be a major issue. they do have influence and play a role but unfortunately the the north koreans just like others have, continue to do pretty much what they want. >> since the signing of the agreement, there has been the effort by than north korea is to separate the dialogue that we would have with the signatures. they wanted by metal discussion and to a i was there we would never let them with south korea are their ef
