Im rebecca has welcome to the program a few late is trying to reach an agreement on a 750000000000 euro coronavirus Recovery Plan but that had to be extended a summit into a 3rd day despite mating until late on saturday night in brussels they failed to finalize the deal member countries are divided on how much of the money should be distributed as runs as opposed to loans hit soften states including italy and spain and say human subjects. Santal a payments but a group of fiscally frugal northern countries favor loans and more control over how the money is spent. Bridging the gap between the 2 opposite camps is proving to be a major challenge there is hope that a compromise will eventually be raped someone gets lost in summary one can say it is going quite well things are going in the right direction of course as youd expect its a tough struggle a tough negotiation with the movement in the right direction and thats the most important thing is 5067 of us if were going through a phase of stalemate there are many issues we are discussing. Im inviting all leaders to converge towards a common aim d to approve the next generation he you which is a plan for european recovery not just for the countrys most affected by coronavirus but for all of europe to rub a different viewpoints there so lets bring in all f. Burned a political analyst here and berlin all of thanks for joining me so austria and italy divided on how this summit is likely to pan out as you just heard what do you think is an agreement in raich today. Yeah good morning rebeca. I think an agreement isnt reached but not today and so not at this weekend my gut feeling is that we will find some middle ground by the end of the day and then the bureaucrats and the delegation of its a. Hard mission to fulfill to reach a closer dear by the end of the month and then i expect leaders of the e. U. Countries to meet again by the end of july to conclude the entire package but its too complicated its too big this is maybe the most pivotal summer since the last the euro crisis we had 10 years ago because this is the biggest pile of money in the e. U. Ever dealt with right so we could be likely to be doing this dance again soon now if they dont agree with dave youre right with your opinion there how how bad does that look for germany so soon into the e. U. Presidency. I think all analysts and all the political professionals behind the scenes and no one expected this will be an easy mission and. The lucky story maybe a message from berlin is with angle america we have the longest serving head our state and maybe most experienced and most talented crisis manager and in the lead so i think it will be a hard pile of work for her to achieve but i could imagine that she can this is kind of her masterpiece maybe so at the end of her legacy this could be the biggest challenge she ever dealt with she managed the euro crisis she managed the refugee crisis and everyone expected in pro forecasts that this will be her political and this is now really the biggest can she has to or to deal with i guess yes certainly very high stakes and we i mean we keep hearing that this summit is potentially the most important in the 80s history how do you see it is is that is that true. In a way it is true so of course its part of the new d. N. A. Too to always call it the most important and the most difficult or whatever but as i said its this is we are talking about the biggest pile of money its this is almost 2 trillion euros were talking about so theres a lot of people who can gain a lot and people can lose a lot and this is the reason why i had of states are fighting so hard on the one hand we have the vision so we have the Traditional Division between north and east of the richard north they actually is always a little bit. Cautious towards the so this was the front line doing the euro crisis but here we have a new front line now all of a sudden we also have a dispute between east and west. Ne actual game plan for just the multi annual budgets or the 7 year a budget for for the e. U. Was 2 to reintegrated to get those in the east specially hungary and poland but also the Czech Republic back to play to the rules of the club so meaning fulfill the rule of law freedom of justice freedom of press weve seen various legal measures introduced in those countries who are. In the groove. And the idea was to buy by the by telling them a cave you want to have more money from the 7 year budget then you have to get back and play to the roots all of a sudden now these countries have a veto power because they know the salt is needing the money for post corona Crisis Management urgently and now on and others are threatening with a veto and this is this is a really really tough moment and makes it even much more complicated than it has been already a tough moment indeed all left a political analyst here in berlin thanks very much for the analysis.
