00:30...proposed opening the door for Canada to become the European Union's first associate member.
00:36Mark Carney takes centre stage at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
00:40At a time of tense trade relations between Oshawa and Washington,
00:44Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today will be closely watched in EU capitals
00:49and also in Washington DC, where the President Donald Trump has already been reacting and speaking to the press.
00:55If they do that, if I think it's at all a hostile act, I will put very serious tariffs or
01:02stop trading with Europe.
01:04Plus, in this time of such uncertainty, friends matter.
01:08The words of the President of the European Parliament regarding Mark Carney's presence in the European Parliament today
01:14and his closer ties with the European Union.
01:16In an exclusive interview with Euronews in Strasbourg, Roberta Metzola stressed the importance of like-minded allies,
01:23also like Australia and New Zealand.
01:25And one day after the European Commission President delivered her far-reaching State of the Union speech
01:31that touched on an array of topics from China to an EU Kids Act,
01:35we speak exclusively to multiple EU Commissioners to hear exactly what she meant.
01:40But first, to Strasbourg, where Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will address the European Parliament later this morning.
01:47This comes just one day after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed opening the door for Canada
01:53to become the EU's first associate member,
01:56a move that caught some EU capitals by surprise and triggered reactions from Donald Trump.
02:01For more, we can take you straight over to Strasbourg,
02:03where our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo, is standing by for us.
02:07Maria, another big day for Strasbourg.
02:11It is, Maeve. Good to see you.
02:13And, of course, good morning from Strasbourg.
02:15Today, the focus is on the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
02:19He will address the European Parliament.
02:22This is a message to a very specific European audience, policy makers, MEPs,
02:28and it all hinges around that associate membership bid that yesterday both Carney and the head of the Commission pitched.
02:36There are many questions around what exactly this associate status means.
02:41Is this going to be a new political partnership?
02:43Will this be an expanded trade deal, a sort of C+++,
02:47or is this really a new way of doing politics, a new path forward for countries that may not want
02:53to join the European Union,
02:55but want to orbit around the EU?
02:58As I say, this message matters from the Canadian Prime Minister because he wants to cut through and speak directly
03:04to Europeans.
03:05That's what we were told yesterday.
03:07You already see some reactions, certainly from the president of the U.S.,
03:11who overnight threatened to impose new tariffs on the European Union based on this associate membership with Canada,
03:19if, he said, perceives this is a hostile act towards the United States.
03:24Of course, the timing and the context matters because Canada and the U.S. are locked in a trade war
03:29that shows no signs for the time being of escalating.
03:32And I should also point, to some extent, this underlines why the Canadians want this.
03:37They believe MAGA world means you either align to America's foreign policy or you get punished.
03:42I should also note, when it comes to the Europeans, yesterday, multiple officials that we spoke with,
03:48they were very keen on playing down the idea of retaliation, the idea of backlash from the U.S.,
03:54saying that, in fact, Brussels and the United States already have a trade deal in place,
03:58which, by the way, tripled tariffs on the Europeans.
04:02The U.S. got the better part of the deal.
04:04So you've been speaking to multiple officials.
04:06You also spoke exclusively to Roberta Metzola, the president of the European Parliament.
04:10What does she have to say, Maria?
04:14Yes, Maeve, we spoke exclusively on Euronews with the head of the European Parliament.
04:18She will be the host of that speech from the Canadian prime minister today.
04:23She said this is a complex, difficult world,
04:26and therefore you want to keep your good friends, like-minded partners, closely together.
04:31It's also interesting to me, and you're about to see it,
04:34she said associate membership.
04:35Yes, there are many question marks around how it works.
04:38Yes, it's not really in the books,
04:40but it could pave a third way for countries that want to be associated with the European Union
04:46but cannot become members.
04:47She alluded to Australia, New Zealand,
04:49and I wonder, this is just my personal observation,
04:53but is there a debate too and a message aimed at the United Kingdom?
04:57Let's take a look.
04:59President, thank you so much for joining us on Euronews.
05:03The Canadian prime minister is about to address the European Parliament at your invitation.
05:07I also know you had a bilateral meeting yesterday.
05:10Why do this now?
05:10Why extend this invitation?
05:12Well, I think it was pretty impressive in a way
05:14that we would use as a European Union the State of the Union debate,
05:18the exchange with President von der Leyen
05:21to also do it with the prime minister of Canada.
05:24An ally, a friend, a country that shares our values,
05:29our love for democracy, our love for more trade,
05:31with specific emphasis of, as we saw,
05:35an openness that the European Union will show towards countries like Canada
05:39with associate membership.
05:41This is the reason why, as a European Parliament,
05:44we decided to open an antenna office in Ottawa,
05:48which means that we will, as a Parliament,
05:51intensivise our links with the Canadian Parliament
05:54because we have so much in common.
05:56We sometimes vote on exactly the same thing at the same time.
05:59We work together across all political groups
06:02with the different colleagues in the Canadian Parliament
06:06and I can only see that, if I can say, the way is up from here.
06:09The way is up from here and you are the head of the Parliament
06:11so you know the trade is, well, pretty much better than anyone here.
06:14I don't know what associate membership looks like.
06:17To me, you're either a member of the EU or you're not
06:19and you're waiting to join.
06:21What's this new partnership going to really be about?
06:23Well, actually, we have different forms,
06:25both in terms of whether you have countries
06:27who want to join the European Union
06:29or countries that are part of the European Economic Area
06:32and, in this case, countries with which we want to deepen our relationship
06:35and that includes Canada
06:37and I don't doubt that that will also include other countries
06:41that will come not only knocking at our door.
06:43Absolutely.
06:44We've already seen it, both in terms of legislation that we pass
06:47where we see partners from across the world,
06:49Australia and New Zealand being some examples of saying,
06:52look, we want to deepen our relationship.
06:54We're doing it in terms of trade.
06:56We're doing it in terms of conversation
06:57on what we do with social media,
06:59with children, with critical raw materials,
07:02alliances that can be forged.
07:03And I think in the global sort of, in the big picture,
07:06and that's, I think, what we cannot let go
07:08in this time of such uncertainty,
07:11is that friends matter.
07:12And if we can do more things with our friends,
07:15then let's do them.
07:16And just to pick up on this point for our viewers,
07:18because this is really a moment of transformation,
07:19you are saying that there could be a third way.
07:22You're not a country that's part of the EU,
07:24you're not a waiting-in member,
07:25there is now a third way that will open with Canada.
07:27Absolutely. And in fact, one thing,
07:29the Prime Minister...
07:29That's his transformation.
07:30Absolutely. And in fact,
07:31that we always believe and we say it,
07:33and we're proud that we say it,
07:34that when the European Union faces challenges,
07:37we stand up to defy and be stronger.
07:40And I think this is one of those moments.
07:42And in fact, the Prime Minister of Canada said
07:43that the interest in him coming
07:46to address the European Parliament
07:47has been huge in Canada,
07:49not only because we're close as countries individually
07:53with all our communities there,
07:55because all the European countries have representatives
07:57or former citizens who moved there in the past,
08:01but also because we're so close in the way
08:03we do our politics,
08:04so close in what we believe,
08:05that things can only improve.
08:07And we also see that reflected in the polls
08:08of Canadians when it comes to their impression of the EU.
08:11But I have to ask you,
08:12is this a partnership that is the result
08:14of legitimate interests
08:15or just born out of necessity?
08:17Because, of course,
08:17the timing is not a coincidence.
08:19There is a big trade war going on
08:21with the US and the Canadians.
08:22Is this a necessity
08:23or is this a real friendship?
08:25No, I think, first of all,
08:26it's always been a real friendship.
08:27We're not just discovering it now.
08:28Secondly, it's an addition.
08:31We're not talking that this is against anyone
08:33or any country in particular.
08:34But when friends come to us
08:36and say, let's do more,
08:37then we will be the first ones
08:38to fling open the door.
08:39And just a final point,
08:40you say this is not against anyone.
08:42Nonetheless, there is a concern
08:43that the President of the US
08:45could look at this and say,
08:46guys, you're teaming up against me.
08:48Do you fear that backlash?
08:49No, we have different trade relationship
08:52with different countries.
08:53We have a trade relationship
08:54and an agreement with the United States
08:57and we will intensify our trade relationship
08:59with Canada.
08:59No reason for retaliation.
09:00You don't see any reason for retaliation
09:02from the other US?
09:03No, no, no.
09:03We are equal partners.
09:04We want to deal with each other
09:05with equality,
09:06with dignity and respect.
09:08Well, President, thank you very much.
09:09Thank you.
09:13And as you can see there,
09:14Strasbourg is a hive of activity this week
09:16with all eyes on both Mark Carney's presence
09:18and, of course,
09:19Ursula von der Leyen's State of the Union speech yesterday.
09:22The Commission President
09:23used her moment in the spotlight
09:24to pitch the case
09:25for a stronger,
09:26more independent Europe
09:27and even called for a new security form
09:29for the European Union.
09:31For more on the exact contents
09:32of these ideas,
09:33our Maria de Deo spoke to
09:34European Commissioners
09:35responsible for the economy,
09:37trade,
09:37climate
09:38and defence.
09:39We are already two years
09:41in the new European Commission's mandate
09:43and, if anything,
09:45the urgency of strengthening
09:46our security and defence
09:47has increased.
09:49As regards NATO,
09:51we have been emphasising
09:52from the very beginning
09:53that once we started to work
09:55on this area of security
09:57and defence at the EU level,
09:59which is relatively new
10:00because previously
10:01the EU was not doing this,
10:02that we are doing this
10:03to complement NATO,
10:05not to compete with NATO
10:06or not to contradict NATO.
10:08There is a lot of capacities
10:09we need to build up
10:10because we see
10:11the war in Ukraine
10:13has been turned
10:15into a drone war
10:16and also Russia is producing
10:18like millions of drones
10:21per year,
10:22so we certainly need
10:24to strengthen
10:24our drone defence capabilities.
10:27It's clearly
10:29underlying of the argumentation
10:31we are using
10:32vis-à-vis our Chinese partners
10:33from the tonality
10:35of the speech
10:36of the President von der Leyen
10:37and it's clear
10:38that it will be
10:40a big disappointment
10:40and the political interest
10:42will be to look for
10:45the solution
10:46through other instruments.
10:47We will fight tooth and nail
10:48for every job,
10:49for every workplace,
10:51for every company,
10:52for every factory
10:53because we know
10:54that the industry
10:56is a fabric
10:56of European society
10:59and we know
11:00that all the revenue
11:01which is generated
11:02by our highly competitive
11:04industry
11:05is a contribution
11:07to the European way of life,
11:09to the European social model
11:10and therefore
11:11my message
11:12to my Chinese partners
11:14was that
11:15this scope
11:15will be on trade.
11:16The fact that Canada
11:18and the European Union
11:20both feel compelled
11:21to take such
11:23an extraordinary step
11:24I think is a sign
11:26of the times we live in.
11:27The world is in turmoil
11:28that many of the rules
11:31that we thought
11:32were holy
11:33and were to be respected
11:35you know,
11:35no longer do
11:36and therefore
11:37you have to look
11:38for allies
11:39who share
11:40the same values
11:41have the same outlook
11:42have the same interests
11:44in geopolitics
11:45in climate
11:46in the economy
11:47in trade.
11:48The CAC is a plan
11:49how to make
11:50NATO stronger
11:53because
11:53what this
11:54is in
11:55European defence
11:56architecture
11:57what it will take care
11:58about
11:58is how to make
12:00Europe much stronger
12:01in defence
12:02and this is what
12:03our Translating partners
12:04are asking
12:06with their concept
12:07of NATO 3.0
12:09where they are
12:11asking us
12:12as Europeans
12:12to take primary responsibility
12:14peace through strength
12:15means that Ukraine
12:17needs to be stronger
12:18and Ukraine
12:19can be stronger
12:20if we shall
12:22increase
12:23even that support
12:24which we are providing
12:25now
12:26very successfully
12:26we are implementing
12:27a total to paying
12:28support loan
12:2960 billion
12:29but it looks like
12:31that it's not enough.
12:36And now we can get
12:36some more analysis
12:37on that State of the Union
12:39speech
12:39and hear what was said
12:40and what was not
12:41for that I'm joined
12:42by our political correspondent
12:43Jorge Librarero
12:44who followed it very closely
12:45and blogged it live.
12:48Now Jorge
12:48yesterday we talked about
12:49whether or not
12:50Ursula von der Leyen
12:50was any good at reading
12:51the room
12:52how did she do
12:53and will the speech
12:55move the needle
12:55will it make any difference
12:56at all?
12:57Can I be honest
12:58or is it too early
12:59in the morning?
13:00Be honest.
13:00Okay I'll be honest.
13:01I don't think this speech
13:03in particular
13:03will move the political
13:05needle
13:05in a considerable way.
13:07Yes
13:08she continued
13:08the topic
13:09of European independence
13:10that she introduced
13:11last year
13:12but she didn't bring
13:13forward any elements
13:14that could tangibly
13:16push the idea
13:17towards a new step.
13:19We also saw
13:21headline making
13:22announcements
13:23the associated
13:24membership with Canada
13:25we don't know
13:25what it means
13:26it's a legal concept
13:27that she basically
13:28invented on stage
13:29and we also saw
13:30this idea
13:31of the European
13:32Security Council
13:33and also a coordinating
13:35mechanism
13:35for hybrid attacks
13:37that immediately
13:38raised the risk
13:39of duplication
13:40with NATO.
13:41So I think
13:42her commission
13:42needs to answer
13:44a lot of questions
13:44before we can really
13:45judge these ideas.
13:47And what about
13:47support for Ukraine?
13:49And sanctions
13:49against Russia
13:49we were expecting
13:50some announcements
13:51there but we didn't
13:52get them.
13:52Indeed this caught
13:53my attention
13:54because the situation
13:55inside Ukraine
13:56is very dire
13:57now with the new
13:58wave of escalation
14:00that Russia is launching
14:01non-stop drone attacks
14:02and also the blockade
14:04in the Black Sea
14:05and she didn't
14:06say anything
14:07about new sanctions
14:08on Russia
14:09in fact
14:09she said that
14:10what we don't
14:12necessarily need
14:12is new sanctions
14:13but the enforcement
14:14of the existing
14:16sanctions
14:16which makes me think
14:18that her commission
14:18might be running
14:19out of fresh ideas
14:20or might be afraid
14:22of proposing
14:23new sanctions
14:23that then the member
14:24states might reject.
14:26And then
14:26regarding support
14:27for Ukraine
14:28we know that
14:29Ukraine is facing
14:31very important
14:32budget deficit
14:33and this is a problem
14:34that Europeans
14:35sooner or later
14:36will have to address.
14:37And of course
14:37there was no mention
14:38about the Russian assets
14:39but this I was expecting.
14:41So what is next
14:42now for Ursula von der Leyen?
14:44The speech marks
14:45the start of the
14:46legislative cycle
14:47right?
14:47So it means that
14:48it's time to move
14:49beyond the hype
14:50and get to work.
14:51Ursula von der Leyen
14:52now faces an emergency
14:53situation in the
14:55energy markets
14:56we've seen the latest
14:56numbers
14:57oil and gas
14:58are drastically rising
15:00because of the latest
15:00developments
15:01in the Middle East
15:02European citizens
15:04are increasingly
15:05feeling the pain
15:06and European leaders
15:07are increasingly
15:08concerned about it.
15:09So I think
15:09they're going to be
15:10look at Brussels
15:11for new solutions
15:12so keep an eye
15:13out on that.
15:14And then of course
15:15we have to fight
15:15over the EU budget.
15:17Von der Leyen
15:17needs to convince
15:18the leaders
15:19to keep the ambition
15:20high
15:20and this is going
15:21to be a big task
15:22for her.
15:22That's going to be
15:23the real fight
15:23Jorge Lerero.
15:24Thank you so much
15:25for your analysis
15:26and now we can
15:27actually head back
15:27to Strasbourg
15:28to our Maria Tadeo
15:29who's speaking
15:29to MEPs
15:30who are reacting
15:31of course
15:31to that speech
15:31yesterday
15:32and anticipating
15:33Mark Carney's speech
15:34this morning.
15:35Maria.
15:37Yes Amir
15:38if we continue
15:39with those reactions
15:39from the European Parliament
15:41and now we are joined
15:42by David McAllister
15:42who is a German MEP
15:44of the European People's Party
15:45but also the chair
15:46of the Foreign Affairs Committee
15:49of the European Parliament.
15:50You are in some ways
15:51the voice
15:51of this Parliament's
15:53foreign policy
15:54so I want to ask you
15:55to that extent
15:57why do this now?
15:58What's an associate membership?
15:59Do you know
16:00what that means?
16:00I'm not entirely sure myself.
16:03Well I think
16:03what an associate membership
16:05means still needs
16:06to be concretely defined
16:07but I do understand
16:09that the Commission President
16:10yesterday wanted
16:11to underline
16:12that our relationship
16:13with Canada
16:14is very unique.
16:16Canada is the
16:17probably
16:18quote
16:19most European
16:20unquote country
16:21in the world
16:22outside Europe
16:23and we have
16:24the trade agreement
16:25seat on the one hand
16:26we have our security
16:27and defence partnership
16:28on the other hand
16:29so we have a solid ground
16:30and now the Commission President
16:31wants to take
16:32our relationship
16:33to the next level
16:34with Canada.
16:35So in your view
16:36is that going to mean
16:37a political partnership?
16:39Is this you take
16:40the CETA trade agreement
16:41and you add on?
16:42Is this something
16:42entirely unique?
16:44Mark Carney keeps saying
16:44this will be
16:45a unique partnership.
16:48When it comes to trade
16:49we have the CETA agreement
16:50from the year 2017
16:51and CETA has delivered
16:53concrete results
16:54positive results
16:55for Canadian businesses
16:56and also for European businesses.
16:58I would like to call
16:59on the 10 member states
17:01in the European Union
17:01who still haven't ratified
17:03the CETA agreement
17:04that they finally now
17:06make this step
17:07because until now
17:08CETA is only applied
17:12provisionally.
17:13And when it comes to
17:14security and defence
17:15partnership
17:16well I also need
17:18to see room
17:18for further cooperation
17:19for instance
17:20how to have continued
17:21support to Ukraine
17:22but also
17:23what can we do together
17:25to guarantee the security
17:26of the high north
17:27and the Arctic.
17:27So there are many fields
17:29from raw materials
17:30of a cyber security
17:31to a corporation
17:32in the Arctic
17:33where Canada
17:33and the European Union
17:34can still move
17:35closer together.
17:35And you call for
17:36the ratification
17:37of CETA
17:38and that was my next question
17:39because we see
17:40the big difficulties
17:40to approve
17:41just as part of a trade deal.
17:43How does the head
17:44of the commission
17:44your party
17:45the APP
17:46and the Canadians
17:47think they can get
17:47this partnership going
17:48because it seems to me
17:50they will have
17:50many hurdles.
17:51We're trying to understand
17:52is this just politics
17:53is this just about
17:55creating a moment here
17:56because you have
17:57to create one
17:57because this is politics
17:58or ultimately
17:59is this going to manifest
18:00in a real partnership
18:01when by when
18:03what's the timeline?
18:05The CETA agreement
18:06is a so-called
18:06mixed agreement
18:07which means that
18:08you need support
18:09ratification
18:10of the national parliaments
18:11and this obviously
18:12is taking too long.
18:13I'm very open here
18:14it's taking far too long.
18:16I do not understand
18:17why some of our member states
18:19still haven't ratified CETA
18:21but 99% of all the CETA rules
18:24are being applied anyhow
18:25but they're being applied provisionally
18:26but the final ratification
18:28of the CETA agreement
18:29would be a symbolic gesture
18:30towards Canada.
18:31That is for one point
18:33but now we want to have
18:34after we have CETA
18:35I would say we need
18:36a kind of a CETA 2.0
18:38let's take our economic partnership
18:40to the next level
18:41and hopefully
18:42this will happen
18:43much quicker
18:44than until now.
18:45Okay I have two questions
18:46we're running out of time
18:47but I have to ask you
18:48do you fear retaliation
18:50from the US?
18:51The president
18:51of the United States of America
18:53said overnight
18:53if this becomes hostile
18:55there will be tariffs
18:56on the EU.
18:58I think if the president
18:59of the United States
19:00had listened carefully
19:01to Ursula von der Leyen's speech
19:02she would have understood
19:03that this is about
19:04strengthening the partnership
19:05between the European Union
19:07and Canada
19:07it's not against
19:08any third country.
19:10And for the UK
19:10is there a way forward too
19:11just briefly
19:12is this now a model
19:13for the UK
19:14Canadian associate membership?
19:16Well first of all
19:17we need to define
19:18what associate membership
19:19actually means
19:20but apart from that
19:20every cooperation format
19:22with a third country
19:23will always be tailor-made
19:24every third country
19:25has different interests
19:26and also different
19:27constitutional obligations
19:29to respect.
19:29Well sir
