03:31We know Germany lost 120,000 manufacturing jobs last year alone.
03:36So this meeting, of course, of very high importance.
03:39How will Brussels respond?
03:40Will they be able to get a united front?
03:42Well, it's difficult because we know EU countries are split on this issue,
03:44but there are a few ideas on the table.
03:46They could discuss tariffs, quotas, potentially anti-subsidy duties.
03:50But there's a new idea going around as well,
03:52which is this idea of forcing EU companies to diversify their suppliers,
03:56making sure they procure the materials from at least two companies
04:00from more than one country.
04:02The EU's industry boss, Stéphane Sejournet,
04:05who's very close to President Macron in France, of course, has championed this.
04:09Let's take a listen to what he had to say last week.
04:14You cannot reasonably expect today to source 100% of your raw materials
04:18for a given product from a single country,
04:20including for the sake of your own business, economic security.
04:25Now, it's important to note, as I said, EU countries are split.
04:28France is pushing for a harsher stance.
04:30Germany is much more cautious, wants to avoid a full-blown trade war with Beijing.
04:34And finally, Maeve, Beijing is also taking notice of this,
04:38saying yesterday that EU is being selective in its interpretation of data,
04:42threatening retaliation.
04:43So in this discussion, which starts at 9am this morning,
04:46the commissioners, I think, will have to tread a very fine line
04:49and expect this conversation to continue when EU leaders gather here in mid-June.
04:53OK, Mary Gwynne, thank you so much for that update there.
04:57And for more coming up, we'll be joined by Michał Baranowski.
05:00That's the Polish Undersecretary of State for Trade.
05:02Michał Baranowski is also a political scientist
05:06and the author of the numerous publications on transatlantic relations,
05:10European policies and European security defence.
05:13He'll also be reacting to an incident that took place this morning in Romania,
05:16which the country is, of course, on high alert.
05:19A drone incident that saw a residential building struck
05:22and has put many neighbouring countries, of course, in a very difficult position.
05:27So, Minister, we're thrilled to have you with us in the studio.
05:30Thank you so much.
05:30And, of course, I want to talk to you about trade.
05:33But first, I need a reaction to this incident that we've seen this morning in Romania.
05:38Residential buildings being impacted here.
05:40Many people evacuated the whole country now on high alert.
05:42It's extremely, extremely serious.
05:45It's really hard to overstate how much of an escalation this is.
05:51This is another drone attack.
05:54Let's remember that now people have been injured in Romania.
06:00In September, about 20 drones have crossed into Polish space.
06:06These are not mistakes.
06:08These are provocations.
06:09And only a few weeks ago, Russia redirected with their electronic means
06:14a Ukrainian drone that hit a fuel depot.
06:19So, we are now no longer in peace.
06:22Let's see how EU reacts.
06:25Let's see how NATO reacts.
06:27And how will they react?
06:28What's needed?
06:28It's very clear, actually.
06:30We have a very clear situation.
06:34Who is the aggressor here?
06:37It's, of course, up to Romanian government to decide whether or not
06:42activate Article 4 of NATO that allows for us to have a consultation.
06:48EU has already spoken through the lips of President von der Leyen.
06:54There is a full solidarity with Romania, and no one has any questions who is at fault here.
07:00And that steps need to be taken to push back against those drone invasions,
07:06drones attacks coming from Russia.
07:08Unacceptable.
07:09And meanwhile, of course, as you heard there from Mared Gwynne-Jones, our correspondent,
07:13this crucial talk is taking place today about China.
07:16And is it time, do you think, for the EU to get tough on Beijing?
07:19It is.
07:20And we are getting tougher.
07:22So I just concluded the meeting of the Competitiveness Council yesterday with my fellow
07:28economy and trade ministers.
07:31There is a – I heard in your interview that there are perhaps some splits.
07:36What I can confirm is that we are absolutely unified in terms of the impact that Chinese
07:43overproduction, the unfair trade practices have over Europe.
07:47So we are building a tools, a set of tools, including the Industrial Accelerator Act, including
07:55giving a boost to our industry to push back against those overproduction.
07:59Because will these tools have teeth?
08:01And do you blame China for wiping out our European industry?
08:05China is using non-market practices.
08:10We are not faced with a level playing field.
08:12We are seeing subsidies.
08:13We are seeing overcapacities.
08:16And we are seeing trade instruments on the part of China.
08:21So we have – we are getting tougher.
08:25Frankly, I think we need to be clearer and move faster.
08:30And that's what I expect from today's meeting of the European – of the Commission.
08:34And just briefly, a final question on EU-UK relations.
08:37And we know, of course, Donald Tusk was in London this week.
08:40Would you like to see the United Kingdom rejoin the EU one day?
08:43I personally would.
08:45Absolutely.
08:45I think UK is getting closer.
08:48The UK – the British people have seen that they made a mistake.
08:51And since then, they have been moving closer.
08:53The treaty that Poland just signed with the UK, it's more of a – on the defence side,
08:58is another step.
09:00I think UK is getting closer, as are many other partners, like Canada and others.
09:05Europe is a good place to be.
09:07We just need to push back against the Russian and Chinese influences.
09:12Okay.
09:13Minister Baramowski, thank you so much for joining us here on Europe Today.
09:17And now we can move on to Portugal, where authorities have made a number of arrests
09:21in the alleged corruption case linked to the Portuguese Socialist Party.
09:24It comes just hours after the Socialist Party in Spain, so their headquarters examined
09:29over a number of corruption allegations.
09:31For more, we can now head over to Lisbon and bring in Euronews correspondent Ricardo Figueira.
09:36Good morning.
09:37Just tell us, what is the latest and how is the country responding?
09:42Good morning, Maeve.
09:43Well, the latest news is that the man in the centre of this political scandal, called Duarte
09:50Moral, he's going to be heard by the judge today, Duarte Moral, and his wife, Ruth Raimão.
09:58Well, who is this person?
09:59He's a direct aide to José Luis Carneiro, to the Secretary General of the Socialist Party.
10:06He used to be a direct aide to António Costa, the now President of the European Council,
10:12too, and, well, he runs a political campaign company, so the news is that him, his wife,
10:21and several other party members, about a dozen party members, have made about two million
10:28euros in direct contracts from city halls and city boroughs run by the socialists.
10:36The other man at the centre of this case is Miguel Coelho, he was the mayor of one of
10:44the Lisbon boroughs, and he's now the leader of the socialists in the Lisbon Municipal Assembly.
10:55So, these are the people at the centre of the scandal.
10:58The Secretary General, José Luis Carneiro, he has made a press conference in this building
11:05right behind me yesterday.
11:07He said the searches conducted by the police were not against the party, but against this
11:14specific individual.
11:15However, this is not a small pawn.
11:18This is a direct aide to the Secretary General, and he also used to be an aide of António Costa.
11:28So, quite a lot of information for us to digest there.
11:31Just as we're processing what's going on in Spain, Ricardo Figuero, thank you so much
11:35for that live broadcast there from Lisbon.
11:37Now, Hungary's new Prime Minister, Petr Maillard, is in Brussels today to meet EU Commission
11:43boss Ursula von der Leyen.
11:45He's, of course, trying to unblock the frozen EU funds for his country.
11:48For more on this very important story, we're joined here in the studio by our Hungary reporter,
11:53that's Sándor Gíros.
11:54So, a big day for Petr Maillard.
11:56We've been talking about this for weeks.
11:58The stakes couldn't be higher.
11:59What are your expectations?
12:01Good morning, Maeve.
12:02Well, indeed, Petr Maillard was already here yesterday.
12:05He met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Belgian Prime Minister Bár de Weyver, and
12:11his team was having last-minute negotiations to save as much EU money for Hungary as possible.
12:17You know that there was a lot of conflicts between the previous government, the previous
12:22government of Viktor Orbán, and the European Commission froze 17 billion of EU cash because
12:29of corruption, because of rule of law issues.
12:31And now Hungary and the EU decided that they will open a new chapter, they will open a new
12:38page for their relations, and Magyar is trying to save EU cash.
12:43Now, the problem is that by the end of August, the deadline for the recovery funds expires,
12:49and Hungary could lose up to 10 billion euros, which is huge, so the work is underway.
12:55We don't know what will be the result.
12:57Petr Magyar spoke on his social media yesterday, saying that they are closed to an agreement, and
13:03he also said, very interestingly, that lifting his veto on Ukraine is not a condition to get
13:10this money.
13:12The issue of Ukraine, war, or gender, have never been raised.
13:20Please, what we're discussing, and as far as amendments to the law are concerned, is the
13:25fight against corruption.
13:26There are still open cases, but basically we have struck our agreement on many important
13:31points.
13:33And of course, Chandler, a big issue for Ursula von der Leyen is Ukraine's potential EU membership.
13:38How will that feature today in the talks?
13:39Well, Petr Magyar said that officially these issues are not linked, but I don't see any
13:45scenarios that, you know, Hungary gets a huge EU payout, and they are not lifting the veto
13:51at June, when, you know, all the countries should agree that Ukraine opens the first chapter.
13:58So there might be a decision by Hungary by then.
14:02Peter Magyar said explicitly in the past that, you know, he is willing to lift his veto when,
14:08you know, Ukraine settles the right of the Hungarian minorities.
14:12By the way, it was not his veto, it was Orbán's veto.
14:15So for the moment, technical talks are ongoing with Ukraine and Hungary.
14:20If they find a solution for the minority issues, there will be no issue for Hungary, and Ukraine
14:26could open the first negotiating chapter in June.
14:29Okay, and of course, that meeting today, Chandler, taking place at one, and I'm sure
14:33you'll be finding a story for us then, so we can all read it on euronews.com.
14:36Thanks for that update.
14:37But now we can move on, because the European Commission has slapped a 200 million euro fine
14:42on the Chinese online shop Teemu.
14:44Known for selling cheap clothes, gadgets and children's toys, Brussels says they failed
14:49to identify the high risks of illegal products being offered on the EU market.
14:53The German MEP, Anna Cavazzini, has been working on this on behalf of the European Parliament
14:58and joins us live for more.
15:00Good morning.
15:01So thank you so much for being with us.
15:03Just tell us, what happens if Teemu fails to comply after this fine?
15:06Could the EU go further?
15:09Yes, let me first say good morning.
15:12And I'm happy and welcoming that the European Commission is finally following through on the
15:17basis of the Digital Services Act, because we have a problem.
15:19We have a problem in the European Union with so many unsafe products, products that are
15:24not complying to our standards, which are also, of course, not only harming the consumers,
15:27but also creating a problem for companies that are complying.
15:30So that the Commission follows through is very, very important.
15:33And to your question, it is, of course, important that the company complies.
15:37So I think the ultimate goal is that they comply.
15:40But of course, if they are not showing a path forward, then the Commission can go further.
15:45And what are the risks to European consumers?
15:48Many that they don't even realize are out there.
15:52Yeah, for example, the Commission justified their decision on tests, buying tests, for
15:59example, and showing that a lot of products like chargers, but especially also toys for
16:05children are not safe, are not complying with the standards, are also environmentally harmful
16:11if there are chemicals inside that are forbidden in the European Union.
16:14So I think if, you know, consumers trust our high standards that we are proud of in
16:19the European Union, they should also trust when buying it online.
16:22And do you expect now that Temu will play ball and change how they do business?
16:29I led the first European Parliament delegation to China recently.
16:32We also met with Temu when we were there.
16:34And I got the impression that they're in general willing to comply.
16:37They showed a lot of eagerness to comply.
16:39And I think also, of course, they understand it's also benefiting them in China if they
16:43have higher standards.
16:45And there's also a growing consumer market in China, of course.
16:48But it's also not so easy to just change the business model because, of course, their
16:51business model is based on cheap products.
16:54They can't control all the individual traders online.
16:57It's very difficult to control them.
16:59So they have to really step up.
17:00And they cannot only have nice words, but they have to show actions.
17:03And meanwhile, of course, we have the big talks taking place in the Commission today when
17:06it comes to China, how should the EU deal with China?
17:11I think there is a structural problem with unfair competition with products coming from
17:15China.
17:16It's not only the classical e-commerce products that we're just talking about, but, of course,
17:20also industrial products.
17:22And I think the European Union needs to make sure that there is, again, a level playing
17:27field, that there is, again, a market-based economy, which is at the moment not possible.
17:32And we are losing so many industrial jobs.
17:34You mentioned it before, especially also in Germany.
17:37So I think the European Union needs to toughen up.
17:40And that contains the Industrial Accelerator Act, that contains made-in-Europe provisions.
17:46But we also need to find a short-term solution for the surge of imports.
17:51So I think the Commission needs to put some more safeguards in place.
17:54Okay.
17:55A long, busy day here in Brussels.
17:57And for all those gathering on those talks, Anna Cavazzini, German MEP, thank you so much
