Making the things more liberal on National Level then we also have to have to give back the right of freedom of movement to the citizens of europe thats why those things are interlinked if you are liberalizing on National Level you have to open borders about. Ok talking about you know that the Public Opinion polls show that many people in europe remain skeptical about opening borders how can you reassure people. Well its about come and standards and European Union it makes no difference and the question of the fight against kovi in the fight against corona whether youre in a hotel in as a german citizens or whether you go with the german citizens to have it there is no no no difference so what we need is now european wide common standards a kind of a certificated where people can immediately identify that this hotel is working with the european standards and fight against corona out there is what we need now to come in understanding how to answer and the challenges in madrid the same like in berlin or in so that is what we have to put on the table we need an european wide standard so what about the external board is when do you think that the continent will be free and open or should be free and open to the rest of the worlds.

In corona terms. And thats why you must be fact based that is what we do we do this in europe again i underline this again we have countries who have not opened the lockdown already like others did in germany in europe having this in mind this is a flexible mechanism to open borders if you have to guarantee that you have corona under control on National Level then you can open borders and that is on in europe the case and that is also externally the case right thats one trade baby he heads the conservative block in the European Parliament thank you.
