10:19of drones per year,
10:22so we certainly need to strengthen
10:24our drone defense capabilities.
10:27It's clearly underlying
10:30of the argumentation we are using
10:32vis-à-vis our Chinese partners.
10:34From the tonality of the speech
10:36of the President von der Leyen
10:37it's clear that it would be
10:40a big disappointment
10:40and the political interest
10:42would be to look for the 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 that the industry
10:56is a fabric of European society
10:59and we know that all the revenue
11:01which is generated
11:02by our highly competitive industry
11:05is a contribution
11:07to the European way of life,
11:09to the European social model
11:10and therefore my message
11:12to my Chinese partners
11:14was that this scope
11:15will be on trade.
11:16The fact that Canada
11:18and the European Union
11:20both feel compelled
11:21to take such an 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 were holy
11:33and were to be respected
11:35no longer do
11:36and therefore you have to look
11:38for allies
11:39who share the 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 NATO stronger
11:53because what this, you know,
11:55is an European defence architecture
11:57what it will take care about
11:58is how to make Europe
12:01much stronger in defence
12:02and this is what our
12:04Transatlantic partners are asking
12:06with their concept of NATO 3.0
12:09where they are asking 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 can be stronger
12:20if we shall increase
12:23even that support
12:24which we are providing now
12:26very successfully
12:26we are implementing
12:27so far to pay
12:28support loans
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 speech
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, yesterday
12:48we 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 needle
13:05in a considerable way.
13:07Yes, she continued
13:08the topic
13:09of European independence
13:10that she introduced
13:11last year
13:12but she didn't bring forward
13:14any elements
13:14that could tangibly
13:16push the idea
13:17towards a new step.
13:19We also saw
13:21headline-making announcements
13:23the associate membership
13:24with 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
13:34mechanism
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
13:48and sanctions
13:49against Russia?
13:50We were expecting
13:50some announcements there
13:51but we didn't get them.
13:53Indeed 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
14:00is launching
14:01non-stop drone
14:02attacks
14:02and also the
14:03blockade
14:04in the Black Sea
14:05and she didn't
14:06say anything
14:07about new sanctions
14:08on Russia.
14:09In fact,
14:10she said that
14:10what we don't
14:11necessarily 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
14:31a very 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 now
14:42for 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 energy markets
14:56we've seen the latest numbers
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 out
15:13on 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 high
15:20and this is going to be
15:21a big task for her.
15:22That's going to be
15:23the real fight
15:23Jorge Lerner
15:24thank you so much
15:25for your analysis
15:26and now we can
15:26actually head back
15:27to Strasbourg
15:28to our Maria Tadeo
15:29who's speaking to MEPs
15:30who are reacting
15:31of course
15:31to that speech yesterday
15:32and anticipating
15:33Mark Carney's speech
15:34this morning.
15:35Maria.
15:37Yes Maeve
15:38we 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
15:56why do this now?
15:58What's an associate membership?
15:59Do you know what that means?
16:00I'm not entirely sure myself.
16:02Well 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
16:25CETA 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 ten 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 partnership
17:16well I also need
17:18to see room
17:18for further cooperation
17:19for instance
17:20how to have
17:21continued support
17:22to Ukraine
17:22but also
17:23what can we do together
17:25to guarantee
17:25the security
17:26of the high north
17:27in the Arctic.
17:28So 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 closer together.
17:35And you call for
17:36the ratification of 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, the APP
17:46and the Canadians
17:47think they can get
17:47this partnership going
17:48because it seems to me
17:50they will have many hurdles.
17:51We're trying to understand
17:52is this just politics?
17:54Is this just about
17:55creating a moment here
17:56because you have to create one
17:57because this is politics?
17:59Or ultimately
17:59is this going to manifest
18:00in a real partnership?
18:02When?
18:02By 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.
18:15It'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.
18:27But 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
18:36we need a kind of
18:37a 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.
18:46I have two questions.
18:47We're running out of time
18:47but I have to ask you
18:48do you fear retaliation
18:50from the U.S.?
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.
19:08It's not against
19:08any third country.
19:09And for the U.K.
19:10is there a way forward
19:11to just briefly
19:12is this now a model
19:13for the U.K.
19:14Canadian associate membership?
19:16Well first of all
19:17we need to define
19:18what associate membership
19:19actually means
19:19but apart from that
19:20every cooperation format
19:22with a third country
19:23will always be tailor made.
19:25Every third country
19:25has different interests
19:26and also different
19:27constitutional obligations
19:29to respect.
19:29Well sir
19:30thank you so much
19:30for joining us
19:31on Euronews.
19:33Maeve we continue our coverage
19:34looking down to that speech
19:35at 11.30 today.
19:36We do indeed.
19:37You'll be live from Strasbourg
19:38then with your special report
19:39but that brings this edition
19:40of Europe Today to an end.
19:41Thanks for tuning in.
19:42See you soon.
19:48We'll be right back.
20:23We'll be right back.
21:08We'll be right back.
21:24We'll be right back.
