The mood at the talks has been described as tense french president emanuel not whole said a deal was still possible but that it could not come at the cost of betraying t. E. U. Principles if we dont have complete the willingness to compromise should not deter us from the legitimate ambition that we need to have the we will see in the coming hours if the 2 are compatible to something but human. There are still several topics we need to finalize the 1st one is the rule of law that is at the heart of the conditions attached to the budget decision that its of e. G. Yesterday we had a large consensus to say we should not give in and that this is at the heart of the european principles and values. That help lets bring in our correspondent barbara bizzle who has been following the developments and brussel over the weekend so barbara called says yes to compromise but not at all costs so what does michael think is at stake here. I mean you know whats at stake that is on one hand the principle of solidarity within the European Union that is about the money home much money is the wealthier nors willing to give to the poor and hard so after the Current Crisis that is the one thing and the other thing that he referred to the rule of law has been since years heated debate within the European Union that it is not possible and it should stop that the e. U. Funds the increasingly autocratic regimes in hungary. And the government in poland that goes the same way they dont stick to democratic principles anymore that is the free judiciary the Free Press Free opinion and so on and so forth and they want to sort of tie that together a country that doesnt stick to democratic rules can be punished in the way that money is withdrawn now of course orbit and the polish Prime Minister theyre up in arms against them and says no way will veto this and there has not been a chance yet in the form of fun to sort of consoles to console the 2 sides and to bring this together so were talking about values you were talking about a lot of money what you tell us about the mood at the bargaining table right there. The mood has been fractious throughout the days when what weve seen all day was just people going around and around in circles getting together in small groups thats the socalled confessionals that can be like 2 people can be 6 or 8 people and weve seen like this southerners together was the chairpersons was going to america and the belgium strong michelle weve seen the eastern europeans together with them talking about the rule of law and some of the problems and of course them weve seen several in several rounds with the socalled frugal the chair people were trying to make them to compromise tell them that this is necessary that money is to be paid to the science and things got stuck i mean after 67 hours of that exactly 7 hours of that in the end they didnt really get anywhere and so theyre talking now over dinner whether they should continue are not and it doesnt really look good at the moment and it does not look good what is actually going to happen if there is no compromise. Leverich up at some later point tonight and there will have to come back from german sources we hear the next summit would then have more than 2 weeks cite that the 2 weeks time that is the 1st weekend in august and everybody will not be very happy to be assembled assembled forcefully here again and again being pushed to compromise and figure out a solution.
