establishment that french establishment will be broken perhaps sometime in the future richard in stockholm it's quite interesting to me is there do you know we still we have a socialist that won the first round but there seems to be a very perceptible shift to the right in france i mean it's kind of ironic here because we have a socialist in the lead right now most likely will be elected but the electorate is moving to the right. well it's true actually i don't care much about mr sarkozy or holland at all and i think. the reason for this shows your socialist victory is more or less and you know i think you could accuse misako see for that because he's been quite bad for france and i have to say that i'm quite happy for my pen and the success of front null and i think it's a good thing i've had my doubts over the years when it comes to front you know but i think that marion le pen actually has started some kind of change within the party and i think that's good because france needs is needing a democratic you know nationalistic party and i think that the change that marie le pen has initiat

we have andrei stop he is the managing director at the european policy information center and in stockholm we go to richard he is a member of the swedish parliament for the sweden democrats all right gentlemen this is cross-eyed that means you can jump in anytime you want and race in london first i'd like to go to you a lot of people said that after the first round of the presidential election in france that the choices were dismal but and whoever wins france still loses how do you feel about that. yes that's probably that's probably a good call i mean if sarkozy very unlikely but it's because he does win the second round we have to keep in mind that in the first round of the elections three quarters of french voters actually voted against sarkozy so that in itself is an indictment and if what is new looks like very likely or lawn will come in we will get a whole new shake up in the way europe is likely to pursue solving the eurozone crisis alone has indicated that this austerity package you know advocated by chancellor merkel of germany is not necessarily one thing so we might get someone

research center are the international stockholm research peace institute based in washington, d.c. now, as many of you may well know, we are an independent and very international research institute dedicated to research on armments, arms control, disarmament, but also regional entransnational security issues. i think many of you might be familiar with the annual yearbook, which provides very authoritative information, data and analysis on security and conflict, military spending and armament, nonproliferation, arms control and disarmament issues. what you may not know is that we are increasingly present in the major decision-making centers of the world. a few years ago, we opened an office in beijing, in china, and since february 6th, we now vhav an office here in washington, d.c., and i must say i'm absolutely delighted that we're collated with a distancing center. the aim of this north american office is to bring new global, innovative voices to the security and foreign policy debates across north america. to strengthen cooperation between european, american and international exp

what came out of stockholm were two things, in my view. one, the united nations environment program was agreed upon, and two, countries took stock of their environmental commitments and capabilities and established environment ministries. virtually every country established an environment ministry or its equivalent, many of them cabinet-level agencies. moving forward to rio. the united nation conference on environment and development in 1992 where i headed the united states delegation, the expectations for it were much greater than for rio +20. one cannot but feel the sense of meeting fatigue, of resignation, of lowered expectations going into rio +20. i think it's probably a good idea to lower expectations for a conference, frankly. there are some very specific things, however, and i just went through them i thought in a compelling way that can be achieved there. and it will advance the cause. perhaps not as dramatically as what was achieved and agreed 20 years ago, but nevertheless, effectively to continue the country, the world, the env

1972 a suggestion was made, i think by morris strong, who had been the secretary general of the stockholm conference and canadian, that the united nations, the world bank actually take over the secretariat and the funding for what then became a series of these institutes designed to promote seed development, food productivity in all parts of the world. secretary general of the -- of the world bank then was robert mcnamara. he embraced this program. and there emerged something called the consultative group on international agricultural research. my expectation, climate works' expectation for the conference in rio, is to create a consultative group on low emissions development. if that is done, climate works will commit to substantial matching funding of the initial outlays made by the world bank and international aid and development organizations. that is a very specific commitment, sense of expectation, and i think a very practical and necessary one that could be of enormous assistance in meeting the secretary general's important goals of energy access to all, significantly more efficienc
