00:00I want to explain to you something interesting.
00:04This agreement between Mercosul and the European Union exists for 26 years.
00:14We are trying to make an agreement.
00:19This agreement has evolved a lot in the last few years.
00:23And in the conversations and in the negotiations that we have with the European Union,
00:29both with Ursula von der Leyen and with António Costa,
00:34they assume the commitment that this year we would close the agreement.
00:41Good afternoon, Presidente.
00:43Fernando Assetti, do Times Brasil, Licenciado Exclusivo, CNBC.
00:47I've always known that France was against.
00:50I've been talking many times with Macron.
00:53I've been talking many times with France.
00:56I've been talking even with Brigitte, the woman of Macron.
01:01I've been talking about her heart to make the agreement with the Brazil.
01:06That France has nothing to lose, you know, because of the Brazilian agriculture.
01:13Even because they produce something and we produce something else.
01:17And if we have the capacity to produce, you know,
01:21a new thing to me was the Italy.
01:34And I called the Prime Minister of Meloni to talk with her.
01:40I said to her that the 20th of December was not a date proposed by us.
01:47The 20th of December was a date proposed by Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa,
01:54saying that, on the day 19th, they would vote in Bruxelas
01:58and that they would come here for us to sign our agreement.
02:02My surprise was to know, I know,
02:05I think two days ago, that Italy was also together with France,
02:12not wanting to sign the agreement,
02:14because there was a certain political confusion between the Italian farmers.
02:20And in the conversation with the Prime Minister Meloni,
02:24she responded to me that she was not against the agreement.
02:31The government pretends to review the political indications and the agreement.
02:36She only is living a certain political embarrassment
02:41due to the Italian farmers,
02:44but she has a certainty that she is able to convince them to accept the agreement.
02:49And she then asked me that if we have patience
02:54for a week, for 10 days, at least a month,
02:57the Italy will be together with the agreement.
03:00I told her that I will put what she told me in the meeting
03:05of the Mercosul and I will propose to decide what they want to do.
03:09I wanted to know if you have a statement for the President Maduro.
03:13The Mercosul is 100% willing to make the agreement.
03:17Even not winning everything we wanted to win.
03:22The agreement is more favorable to the European Union than us.
03:27And we said to them that this agreement was extremely important
03:31from the point of view of political view.
03:34Because it is an agreement that involves 722 millions of human beings,
03:4022 trillions of dollars,
03:43and it is an agreement that will give a response to the survival,
03:48of the multilateralism to those who want to build the unilateralism.
03:57That's why I want to do it.
03:59Well, if it's not possible to vaccinate now,
04:01because it will not be ready,
04:02I also cannot do anything.
04:04Let's wait tomorrow.
04:06The hope is the last one that dies.
04:09Because it's very easy.
04:11You don't know the reality.
04:14Well, the most importantly,
04:15you might come back to the counter.
04:27Or, maybe say,
04:28there's no proof in hand until it happens.
04:30So, let's wait and make sure the足 is計 tapes
