To welcome to comfort zone thank you very much either spends a lot of time talking about human rights how come it does so little to uphold roe you know its a question of value of a club. They were you know posted at the entrance door whoever wanted to become a member of the club would have to abide by them but they thought. Theyd things i would agree with you shelly say the attractiveness of the European Union has been affected by the crisis by conflicts around and today there is not so much enthusiasm as it used to be late ninetys the beginning of the two thousand but you. Trumpet human rights and everything that said in all the documents and you lie think pull down you let people down consider this just give you an example last june greece was able to block a European Union statement at the un that would have criticized chinas human rights record why because its received massive investment from beijing and whats new to that whats new to that is you continue to raise peoples hopes that you are going to be a force for good with human rights you cant even make a statement. You cant even make a statement how arabs do the same thing with the chinese because they receive this investment from a lie as well why you know shall we say democracies in reflects in the new member countries and goodness in this case is a special case its not a new member. Its a medal for academic and Political Research is why because you tell the oppressed and the downtrodden around the world that youre going to do something for them and you consistently fail to do it we do for our own citizens we are not doing it you know for everybody else outside and as i said you know those who would like to join us would have to live according to the standards thats another matter you know if we respect those standards amongst ourselves. This is also a matter of discussion but is the now the rest of the world that you cant help and you really no no i wouldnt say i wouldnt say that i would say you know that in the Current International world well see countries which up until now did not pay you too much attention to the you being interested in relations with the taking the affordance take mexico for instance you know into the current regime just. For trade you take the latest crisis who is who is going to come only for values who is going to come only for im not in caves in those able im not interested to see you as a defender of values and human rights or more than values human rights or law human rights or International Law you are being looked on to up hold yes International Law exactly you and you was the only you in the you was the one which conquered the territory belonging to another state or was it somebody else youre just looking at other people that doesnt also know what i was saying what you have where you failed to do any give me give help to do anything and we still exist we still exist you handle exist and i even have a failure if. Thats your opinion mine is exactly the reverse otherwise i wouldnt be here sitting in front of you in the European Parliament being elected three or four times in in london to reason may in her confrontation with the russians chemical weapon attack in britain is looking for support from allies from the European Union for instance theyve been some fine words we stand shoulder to shoulder said one senior politician from the parliament but thats meaningless isnt it no youre not going to what does it mean stand shoulder to shoulder with me look. I think you know the key to mobilizing support and solidarity is not so much that this is russian another russian british affair like lead to the main course some years ago this is a matter which pertains to everybody because you know the use of chemical weapons has been employed and you. Know i just talked i just talked to somebody who represents the Great Britain and who told us you know that they exactly concentrate on this angle of the entire affair and im sure that here all states are signatories of this International Conventions would come to support the british point of view unless they have trade deals and unless they get gas supplies from russia isnt there then not going to get is it any easier to do so no oil vows mean are very how many times britain has laid down others because of her commercial interests with russia how many times. Its not good enough to i say each question by saying well what about this country i know. You dont speak for britain you speak for the e. U. Thats why im asking you about the e. U. And yes failure to uphold these rights during have sanctions we do have sanctions and this has been a great surprise to mr putin one of the reasons he is so upset is because he never expected that the u. And especially germany would react imposing sanctions after crimea and we did that and we uphold every six months the sanctions so lets lets take another example lets take the philippines for instance even partnership and Cooperation Agreement which was signed less than two months ago with the philippines a major abuse of human rights now your. Friends justin beside himself with joy saying the deal would allow better collaboration between the e. U. Including on Political Economic and develop an issues political issues you did this deal despite the rapidly deteriorating human rights situation in the philippines according to this you know would we need a deal with north korea on Nuclear Weapons because north korea is certainly not a democracy were not talking about a Nuclear Weapon or money spent compare like with like the philippines doesnt have Nuclear Weapons but thats not the same situation is that you have an opportunity let me just what i mean wind. Up or to New Hampshire was elected. Or as a president that is not a great Democratic State we should say no deals with you until you elect somebody else not a great democrat according to Human Rights Watch has plunged the philippines into the worst human rights crisis for forty years its not just not being a good democrat its a little more than that you have the power in the European Parliament to plug. These we do because all dont use them because all use all of these things come to us inform the mandates for the negotiations the piece which we signed with them they come true each time you but every time. You say liked one aspect and you make the entire thing go around they have to respect and you say because of that aspect Everything Else is not good but you create we do have to take into account much more than that what if what if we dont have such a treaty with philippines tomorrow when they elect somebody else then they just ask you what you dont have it already lines you know anybody can get away with any human rights abuse and you just tick the box and say its going to try we do have a solicitor and we do know where where where you dont have a for instance you know with in february the spotlight meant was very critical to the humans the human rights. Record you know of egypt its said so you know we also say well you know not many of the agree with you all say what we say you know about the situation in turkey and there are many other instances as between us and you still go on with this fiction that he is in the session candidates and you still got one of those i agree with you that this is a fiction because the turks probably are not interested in the longer run why should you be in europe i mean theyve charged all the human rights provisions that that everybody you in the e. U. Used to hold so dear theyve trashed ok theres no red line where is our with you theres no difference the difference between your vision and my vision is that you look only to the human rights and according to human rights we should have or have not the elations with the others you know why you know what i do. You know because you make such a fuss about them its in all your literature its in the u. S. Statements my own and you know me use see you soon once yes. Does not i mean no no youre telling me that no no no youre admitting that its not so i mean it does not mean he does it does not mean that the world revolves around all only about one action or one leader and then you know we have to give up Everything Else because that leader is not a Democrat Party but its worse than that isnt it mr pascual because if we take the case of libya the charge by Amnesty International is this that youre actually in the e. U. Part of the problem youre not even attempting to be part of the solution european governments are actively supporting me as an example. Give me an example of how could do you mean when they say that they did not prefer foreign boots on their territory give me an example because after all you know it was not the euro which intervened there the challenge is you was trying to mend the fences after the intervention which happened in two thousand and eleven the challenge is that european governments are actively supporting a sophisticated system of the buz and exploitation of refugees and migrants by the libyan coast guard detention authorities and i were aware of how many measures have been taken to break this. Business model there of transport the how gracious the Naval Operations try to prevent. All that traffic how many measures you know in the european institutions are taking and how much cooperation in this is specter taken you know and are you aware of the results because last year last year the u. N. Senior human rights official called e. U. Cooperation with libya in humane he said the increasing interventions of the e. U. And its Member States have done nothing so far to reduce the level. Suffered by mike young will have to make up your mind. We do something as you say now or we dont do anything as you asked previous youre doing bad things this is the point this is the point with the u. N. Senior so human rights official ok telling you the state of the problem the same problem for the sake of argument i accept your your judgment give us the advice your wise advice how could we do better give me now they say and i will take it to my colleagues in the im the one asking the questions people are interested i know people are interested in your answers not mine no but how about when people are interested in your question of the past with us theres a pattern here isnt the former president of this says the e. U. Is a fair weather friend to human rights emphasizing them when theres little risk why do you have a sizing them with interest coming its not me saying its the former president its too much attention as a colleague of estonians you mustnt remind me enough it was a colleague of mine and that makes a difference no it makes a difference because you know not everything in the European Union is bad not everything in the European Union equally is not to be criticised so thats the way we move forward there are good things which we have to continue and bad things which we have to repair and thats exactly what we are doing but you concentrate only on the negative fight fact you close your eyes to the positive ones and the your conclusion is you know that the new is no good mr pascoe thats not an act mr this is the silence of a catalonia and its desire for independence was moving forward as you put it is not saying what island is what is silence because it was very supportive for the actions taken by the royal government in madrid and it was clearly said here in this room which is to your left to my right so i was and this is on the other side of activists and voters of last years referent. Im being beaten up by police simply for putting a piece of paper. This argument has been made by all the separatists you know and i think. Its a shame to investigate instead of concentrating on the fact that the deeds the suspected their own constitution they concentrated on Police Brutality socalled brutality showed so quickly yes so socalled valuable because they are beginning of brutal human rights was from its own research it had no downside to the national and civil side officers used excessive use for the use of Excessive Force yes but when supporting it we supported the actions of the government who has a duty to impose sanctions against those who disrespect their own constitution and you hand that that has been said in this room over there and you had nothing to say about spains record on torture and abuse in its Detention Centers nothing are you feeling aware of that shell rearranges the matter over are you even aware of the slave trade with other countries where this is im sorry and this is current this is current no going back in history Something Like not just three years ago the un committee against torture said it was seriously concerned over reports that the spanish authorities failed to carry out front effective impartial and thorough investigations into complaints of so has this been pushed you would beyond this that. Because there are means if you want to somebody you have to prove that and then you have to pursue the matter if you are really interested in solving yes it is the science mentioned in what has it has moved on because they have been seven rulings by the European Court of human rights against spain so you can spare fact perfect you can see that the system works. Really yes and you have yeah and in your support come on in your support in your support of spain you totally ignored spains record on this i am saying from italy. And sided with the government as you admit yes i admit that i side with the government because the government has the responsibility to make their constitution respected by the citizens if that happens in another country the same situation will happen why do you think that these separatists have not been supported in europe because what been ascertained is an important country and you wont touch it its not that is the symbolism of it if you let these things happen and go around then you will not never have you know the Member States existing in the European Union you dont care about the symbolism of people beaten up simply for putting a piece of ny presence why dont you care about the symbolism of this is spectating their own constitution why dont you care about it because people have a right to seek yes independence they have a right exactly you see this is a very this is value and you think its ok its valid think its ok to beat the law no they havent been up in scotland and wales and im being beaten they were beaten up in spain in catalonia so what would have been your recommendation because they would be to not be left barcelona the suspect because i usually are you sure have ideas that you have to ask me. Am i easy or you know the idea no no no you have a dialogue you know a crucifix and its a question no its a serious thing here is a no im asking you a question im not going to expect why she did so little why. Respect my hunts us why do you try to turn every answer into the negative thing because you have a negative mindset and you want to impose it using me as your dignity no guinea pig no guinea pig and so busy no. These are legitimate questions i think my answers are also allegedly my leak will be legitimate if you respect your interlocutor if you dont and we are in these shortly to demonstrate how smart you are in our home bad them then its a difference then i understand and i say ok then im going to zero in you to react to statements that made. By key people like a senior un human rights official just there where you said that there were seven rulings against spain and spain had to respect those so it means that the system works it does does he die no happy does you know happy and if that. Kind of violence is practiced again on people they said sally campaign i dont know how the violence would come up i know how violence sometimes violence can be provoked sometimes it can by old ladies taking piece of paper in about oh no no no no you know very well you know very well because your history will also tell you youve been in such a situation you have been witnessing situation and you should know by the by this time you know that sometimes violence can be provoked on purpose. Lets look at Current Affairs now lets look at the latest elections in italy yes the euro skeptic parties scoring a massive vote which sent shock waves to brussels you have the far right f. T. In parliament in berlin and the far right in government in austria your twenty seven didnt government in belize i said in parliament in berlin the f. T. Is in parliament in berlin the far right is in government in austria with thought for. Twenty seven countries of the twenty eight because theyre moving out but twenty seven countries pulling in substantially Different Directions does it worry you no i dont think that they pull in Different Directions i think you know that there is sufficient solidarity that we move on and i think you know that there are countries which have decided you know to have such a government and its not the first time lets remember you know mr hyde some years ago and will see that there will be. You know the cover which there was a huge fuss and there isnt you got used to it you got used to the idea no but its a question i do not know how much of this government would be different than hide it but hide there was a situation which you have to deal with and be dealt with but the reaction of the e. U. Is correct me if im a Common Solutions to common problems its not the reason you have a European Union you have these to europeans led by angry in poland who will have nothing to do in the only body. Well they are not leading i mean only Prime Minister said last month that he knew of some eight countries that werent going to accept what he called frank Franco German domination lucky him i didnt hear about that and certainly certainly hungary and poland do not see eye to eye when it comes to Russia Hungary says its trying desperately to protect your appear abstruse chian heritage because other countries in the e. U. And throwing it away for a little what shall i say this is the understanding of mr goldman his party he says and youre telling me theyre not pushing in Different Directions all these countries long as long as they stay as long as they use they you funds as long as they call parity in taking the decisions at the level of the council thats ok you know thats ok because this is what defines the same direction for the member countries they didnt step out they criticise and everybodys free to criticize but when it comes you know when to really. See whether they take action against the you have you nominated a big action you know saying well well leave tomorrow we dislike that and we dont do that and so on not so much and there is one country of course that is leaving which is which is the United Kingdom the loss the loss of one of your major net budget contributors the fact is youre desperate for bracks to fail. You want to britain not be a fiat and im desperate to see that the british people who have decided so where a light in the end of it which i doubt you want them to be right now i won them to be right but i doesnt i mean when people are saying you keep you made a mistake its a terrible mistake it is a then zigzag wrong thing you said something which i also said because i wished that they were right but i dont think that they were right why is there so little respect for a democratic to say the only sure they started by a talk its all they took a democratic decision its all a yes categorical you live by it so why go on you by no one telling them theyve made a mistake one of except it wish them luck move on. Well see how much luck will be there will see and you accuse them of cherry picking yes a do whos your it like mr president whos geriatric britain would like to have all the rights and no obligations from the relationship and the e. U. Doesnt want to have its way the e. U. Want to hear all of those ago balance you once a balance between obligations and rights the e. U. Wants to keep hold of fishing rights in british waters you want tariff free access for good so you can sell german cars to u. K. In greater numbers but in return you dont want Free Movement of services because that will benefit i reckon financially and let me tell you what is on the stand is unfair is and let me tell you what gerry taking on and sharing what is tell you what is really unfair because for britain goods are much more important the free travel of goods is much more important than the free travel of man of human beings and this is something which i dont think you know many people would would like to see a country which belong to a club which you even posed you know are the new sets of rules in the International Order to see that they preferred more goods than people mr person every trade deal is different which means everybody is involved in horse trading and chair exactly where you are cherry picking what you want they are taking what they know its the way its young in they. Have to deal or no or not care or not if we cannot see or not we have to live with that but isnt it time to stop acting like jilted lovers and accept as i said what took latest from from junk again from the commission yes perhaps under my control so for you know you why do you talk to me even if youre a Senior Member of the album if you want to use is what stuck to came not to me but ill tell you we have a saying in romania and that for. Love does not exist so you cannot force someone to love you you would be cited that you dont love this European Union you decided to leave we respected that decision now we have to find a way to say to salvage much which has been achieved in forty years of membership all try to do that but at the same time you know you cannot they have their cake and eat it at the same time as but even sometimes does and you study clearly always try to do that you are passionate good to have your own conflicts and you very much thank you very much.
