wolfgang: i am over 70 myself. i only experience speaking personally is that if you have a challenging mission in which you believe, it doesn't really 75.er whether you are 25 or you are going to give everything you have. you are actually going to wake up earlier each morning because you want to get things done. so i don't really think, unless there is major sickness coming youi don't think that cannot carry out this kind of mission at age 75 or 78 or so. oh course you are going to get tired -- of course you are going to get tired a little earlier, but having watched president trump over the last four years, he has sufficient time to go golfing and relax and recover, and i don't see why the next president cannot do the same thing. francine: ambassador, what is the easiest thing joe biden can do to bring back trust within the international community? himself.just be we know him. he has been around for 40 years. every sitting european head of , withor prime minister very few exceptions, knows joe biden has met in was

wolfgang: it might be. it might be.s always, we have the opportunity, we have the means to do this. we could do this if we wanted to, but we probably are not going to do it because we are probably going to offer softer solutions and ultimately turn out not to do these solutions that we now see with the veto and all the fuss that people made about the recovery fund. the reality is that the action has already failed and the recovery fund probably will not -- the money will not be spent until the crisis is over. the deeper question about the future of federalism -- i agree, there is a lot, we have a lot of ambitions in europe, but the concrete realization -- at the moment, this is a test case. the ultimate veto is a test case for a federal solution, and we will see. if we meet the test or if we don't -- and my predation is we don't because i am not the greatest optimist when it comes to the eurozone. but if they do, i will be the first to say congratulations. but my experience is -- i have been looking at it a long time --

joining us is wolfgang schaefer.ty do you givenor the winter months the uptick in the pandemic? wolfgang: well, we were encouraged enough to give guidance for 2020 so at least we see more visibility to be in a position to talk about what we see for the rest of the year. it is less volatile than we have seen in the second quarter and in the first quarter. there is volatility in our markets and our guidance for the below quarter, four to 6% prior years so ace still -- still a weaker quarter but we think the numbers shouldn't be too big but volatility is there and predictions are more difficult than a year ago. what will you wait for before taking a more optimistic stance? we've had news about a vaccine, for example. what would you need to see to enable you to make more positive estimates for 2021? obviously we see consumer demand kicking in and demand for cars kicking in and this is what at the moment we don't see. all the information about a vaccine next year is quite early at the moment. to expect an effect already o
