03:36want this. They believe MAGA world
03:38means you either align to America's
03:40foreign policy or you get punished.
03:43I should also note when it comes to
03:44the Europeans, yesterday multiple
03:47officials that we spoke with, they were
03:48very keen on playing down the idea
03:50of retaliation, the idea of
03:52backlash from the US, saying that in fact
03:55Brussels and the United States already
03:57have a trade deal in place,
03:58which by the way, triple tariffs
04:00on the Europeans. The US got
04:02the better part of the deal.
04:03So you've been speaking to multiple officials.
04:06You also spoke exclusively to Roberta Metzola,
04:09the president of the European Parliament.
04:10What does she have to say, Maria?
04:14Yes, Maeve, we spoke exclusively
04:16on Euronews with the head of the European
04:18Parliament. She will be the host
04:20of that speech from the Canadian Prime
04:22Minister today. She said this
04:24is a complex, difficult world and therefore
04:26you want to keep your good friends,
04:28like-minded partners, closely
04:30together. It's also interesting to me
04:32and you're about to see it. She said
04:34associate membership. Yes, there are many
04:36question marks around how it works. Yes,
04:38it's not really in the books,
04:40but it could pave a third way for
04:42countries that want to
04:44be associated with the European Union,
04:46but cannot become members. She alluded to
04:48Australia, New Zealand, and I
04:50wonder, this is just my personal
04:52observation, but is there a debate
04:54too and a message aimed
04:56at the United Kingdom? Let's take a look.
04:59President, thank you so much for
05:00joining us on Euronews. The Canadian
05:03Prime Minister is about to address the
05:05European Parliament at your invitation. I
05:07also know you had a bilateral meeting
05:09yesterday. Why do this now? Why extend
05:11this invitation? Well, I think it was
05:13pretty impressive in a way that we would
05:15use as a European Union the State of the
05:18Union debate, the exchange with
05:20President von der Leyen to also do it
05:22with the Prime Minister of Canada, an
05:24ally, a friend, a country that shares
05:28our values, our love for democracy, our
05:30love for more trade, with specific
05:33emphasis of, as we saw, an openness
05:36that the European Union will show towards
05:38countries like Canada with associate
05:40membership. This is the reason why, as a
05:43European Parliament, we decided to open
05:45an antenna office in Ottawa, which means
05:48that we will, as a Parliament, intensivise
05:51our links with the Canadian Parliament,
05:54because we have so much in common. We
05:56sometimes vote on exactly the same thing
05:58at the same time. We work together
06:00across all political groups with the
06:03different colleagues in the Canadian
06:05Parliament, and I can only see that, if I
06:08can say, the way is up from here. The way is
06:10up from here, and you are the head of the
06:11Parliament, so you know the treat is, well,
06:13pretty much better than anyone here. I don't
06:15know what associate membership looks like. To
06:17me, you're either a member of the EU, or
06:19you're not, and you're waiting to join. What's
06:21this new partnership going to really be
06:23about? Well, actually, we have different
06:24forms, both in terms of whether you have
06:27countries who want to join the European
06:28Union, or countries that are part of the
06:31European Economic Area, and in this case,
06:33countries with which we want to deepen our
06:35relationship, and that includes Canada, and
06:37I'm not, I don't doubt that that will also
06:40include other countries that will come, not
06:42only knocking at our door. You see, we'll open the door.
06:43Absolutely. We've already seen it, both in terms of legislation that we pass, where we see partners from across the
06:49world, Australia and New Zealand being some examples of saying, look, we want to deepen our relationship. We're doing it
06:54in terms of trade. We're doing it in terms of conversation on what we do with social media, with children,
07:00with critical raw materials, alliances that can be forged.
07:03And I think in the global, sort of, in the big picture, and that's, I think, what we cannot let
07:08go in this time of such uncertainty, is that friends matter. And if we can do more things with our
07:14friends, then let's do them.
07:16And just to pick up on this point for our viewers, because this is really a moment of transformation. You
07:20are saying that there could be a third way. You're not a country that's part of the EU. You're not
07:24a waiting in member. There is now a third way that will open with Canada.
07:27Absolutely. And in fact, one thing, the Prime Minister...
07:29That's his transformation.
07:30Absolutely. And in fact, that we always believe, and we say it, and we're proud that we say it, that
07:34when the European Union faces challenges, we stand up to defy and be stronger.
07:40And I think this is one of those moments. And in fact, the Prime Minister of Canada said that the
07:44interest in him coming to address the European Parliament has been huge in Canada, not only because we're close as
07:51countries individually with all our communities there, because all European countries have representatives or former citizens who moved there in
08:00the past, but also because we're so close in the way we do our politics, so close in what we
08:05believe, that things can only improve.
08:07And we also see that reflected in the polls of Canadians when it comes to their impression of the EU.
08:11But I have to ask you, is this a partnership that is the result of legitimate interests or just born
08:16out of necessity? Because, of course, the timing is not a coincidence. There is a big trade war going on
08:21with the US and the Canadians. Is this a necessity or is this a real friendship?
08:24No, I think, first of all, it's always been a real friendship. We're not just discovering it now. Secondly, it's
08:29an addition. We're not talking that this is against anyone or any country in particular. But when friends come to
08:36us and say, let's do more, then we will be the first ones to fling open the door.
08:39And just a final point. You say this is not against anyone. Nonetheless, there is a concern that the president
08:44of the US could look at this and say, guys, you're teaming up against me. Do you fear that backlash?
08:49No, we have different trade relationship with different countries. We have a trade relationship and an agreement with the United
08:56States. And we will intensify our trade relationship with Canada.
08:59No reason for retaliation. You don't see any reason for retaliation from the US?
09:02No, no, no. We are equal partners. We want to deal with each other with equality, with dignity and respect.
09:08Well, President, thank you very much.
09:09Thank you.
09:12And as you can see there, Strasbourg is a hive of activity this week, with all eyes on both Mark
09:18Carney's presence and, of course, Ursula von der Leyen's State of the Union speech yesterday.
09:22The Commission President used her moment in the spotlight to pitch the case for a stronger, more independent Europe and
09:28even called for a new security form for the European Union.
09:31For more on the exact contents of these ideas, our Maria Deo spoke to European Commissioners responsible for the economy,
09:37trade, climate and defence.
09:39We are already two years in the new European Commission's mandate and, if anything, the urgency of strengthening our security
09:47and defence has increased.
09:49As regards NATO, we have been emphasising from the very beginning that once we started to work on this area
09:56of security and defence at the EU level, which is relatively new because previously the EU was not doing this,
10:02that we are doing this to complement NATO, not to compete with NATO or not to contradict NATO.
10:08There is a lot of capacities we need to build up because we see the war in Ukraine has been
10:14turned into drone war and also Russia is producing like millions of drones per year.
10:22So we certainly need to strengthen our drone defence capabilities.
10:27It's clearly underlying of the argumentation we are using with our Chinese partners from the tonality of the speech of
10:36the President von der Leyen is clear then that it will be a big disappointment and then the political interest
10:42would be to look for the solution through other instruments.
10:47We will fight tooth and nail for every job, for every workplace, for every company, for every factory because we
10:54know that the industry is a fabric of European society and we know that all the revenue which is generated
11:02by our highly competitive industry is a contribution to the European way of life, to the European social model.
11:10And therefore, my message to my Chinese partners was that this scope will be on trade.
11:16The fact that Canada and the European Union both feel compelled to take such an extraordinary step, I think is
11:25a sign of the times we live in.
11:27The world is in turmoil, that many of the rules that we thought were holy and were to be respected,
11:35you know, no longer do.
11:36And therefore, you have to look for allies who share the same values, have the same outlook, have the same
11:44interests in geopolitics, in climate, in the economy, in trade.
11:48The CAC is a plan to make NATO stronger, because what this is, you know, European defence architecture, what it
11:57will take care about is how to make Europe much stronger in defence.
12:02And this is what our Transatlantic partners are asking with their concept of NATO 3.0, where they are asking
12:11us as Europeans to take primary responsibility.
12:35And now we can get some more analysis on that State of the Union speech and hear what was said
12:40and what was not.
12:41For that, I'm joined by our political correspondent, Jorge Librarero, who followed it very closely and blogged it live.
12:47Now, Jorge, yesterday we talked about whether or not Ursula von der Leyen was any good at reading the room.
12:52How did she do? And will the speech move the needle? Will it make any difference at all?
12:57Can I be honest or is it too early in the morning?
13:00Be honest.
13:00OK, I'll be honest. I don't think this speech in particular will move the political needle in a considerable way.
13:07Yes, she continued the topic of European independence that she introduced last year, but she didn't bring forward any elements
13:14that could tangibly push the idea towards a new step.
13:19We also saw headline-making announcements, the associate membership with Canada.
13:25We don't know what it means. It's a legal concept that she basically invented on stage.
13:29And we also saw this idea of the European Security Council and also a coordinating mechanism for hybrid attacks that
13:37immediately raised the risk of duplication with NATO.
13:41So I think her commission needs to answer a lot of questions before we can really judge these ideas.
13:47And what about support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia?
13:50We were expecting some announcements there, but we didn't get them.
13:52Indeed, this caught my attention because the situation inside Ukraine is very dire now with the new wave of escalation
14:00that Russia is launching non-stop drone attacks and also the blockade in the Black Sea.
14:05And she didn't say anything about new sanctions on Russia.
14:09In fact, she said that what we don't necessarily need is new sanctions, but the enforcement of the existing sanctions.
14:16Which makes me think that her commission might be running out of fresh ideas or might be afraid of proposing
14:23new sanctions that then the member states might reject.
14:26And then regarding support for Ukraine, we know that Ukraine is facing very important budget deficit.
14:33And this is a problem that Europeans sooner or later will have to address.
14:37And of course, there was no mention about the Russian assets, but this I was expecting.
14:41So what is next now for Ursula von der Leyen?
14:44The speech marks the start of the legislative cycle, right?
14:47So it means that it's time to move beyond the hype and get to work.
14:51Ursula von der Leyen now faces an emergency situation in the energy markets.
14:56We've seen the latest numbers.
14:57Oil and gas are drastically rising because of the latest developments in the Middle East.
15:03European citizens are increasingly feeling the pain and European leaders are increasingly concerned about it.
15:09So I think they're going to be look at Brussels for new solutions.
15:12So keep an eye out on that.
15:14And then, of course, we have to fight over the EU budget.
15:17Von der Leyen needs to convince the leaders to keep the ambition high.
15:20And this is going to be a big task for her.
15:22That's going to be the real fight, Jorge Lodero.
15:24Thank you so much for your analysis.
15:26And now we can actually head back to Strasbourg to our Maria Tadeo, who's speaking to MEPs,
15:30who are reacting, of course, to that speech yesterday and anticipating Mark Carney's speech this morning.
15:35Maria.
15:37Yes, Maeve, we continue with those reactions from the European Parliament.
15:41And now we are joined by David McAllister, who is a German MEP of the European People's Party,
15:45but also the chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament.
15:50You are, in some ways, the voice of this Parliament's foreign policy.
15:54So I want to ask you, to that extent, why 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 what an associate membership means still needs to be concretely defined.
16:08But I do understand that the Commission President yesterday wanted to underline that our relationship
16:13with Canada is very unique.
16:16Canada is the probably, quote, most European, unquote, country in the world outside Europe.
16:23And we have the trade agreement seat on the one hand.
16:26We have our security and defense partnership on the other hand.
16:29So we have a solid ground.
16:30And now the Commission President wants to take our relationship to the next level with Canada.
16:35So, in your view, is that going to mean a political partnership?
16:39Is this you take the CETA trade agreement and you add on?
16:42Is this something entirely unique?
16:44Mark Carney keeps saying this will be a unique partnership.
16:48When it comes to trade, we have the CETA agreement from the year 2017.
16:51And CETA has delivered concrete results, positive results for Canadian businesses
16:56and also for European businesses.
16:58I would like to call on the 10 member states in the European Union who still haven't ratified the CETA
17:03agreement
17:04that they finally now make this step because until now CETA is only applied provisionally.
17:12And when it comes to security and defense partnership, well, I also need to see room for further cooperation.
17:20For instance, how to have continued support to Ukraine, but also what can we do together to guarantee the security
17:26of the high north in the Arctic?
17:28So there are many fields from raw materials of a cybersecurity to a corporation in the Arctic where Canada and
17:34the European Union can still move closer together.
17:35And you call for the ratification of CETA, and that was my next question, because we see the big difficulties
17:40to approve just as part of a trade deal.
17:43How does the head of the commission, your party, the APP, and the Canadians think they can get this partnership
17:48going?
17:48Because it seems to me they will have many hurdles.
17:51We're trying to understand, is this just politics?
17:54Is this just about creating a moment here because you have to create one because this is politics?
17:59Or ultimately, is this going to manifest in a real partnership?
18:02When?
18:02By when?
18:03What's the timeline?
18:05The CETA agreement is a so-called mixed agreement, which means that you need support ratification of the national parliaments.
18:11And this obviously is taking too long.
18:13I'm very open here.
18:15It's taking far too long.
18:16I do not understand why some of our member states still haven't ratified CETA.
18:21But 99% of all the CETA rules are being applied anyhow, but they're being applied provisionally.
18:27But the final ratification of the CETA agreement would be a symbolic gesture towards Canada.
18:31That is for one point.
18:33But now we want to have, after we have CETA, I would say we need a kind of a CETA
18:372.0.
18:38Let's take our economic partnership to the next level.
18:41And hopefully this will happen much quicker than until now.
18:45Okay, I have two questions.
18:47We're running out of time, but I have to ask you, do you fear retaliation from the U.S.?
18:51The President of the United States of America said overnight, if this becomes hostile, there will be tariffs on the
18:57EU.
18:58I think if the President of the United States had listened carefully to Ursula von der Leyen's speech,
19:02she would have understood that this is about strengthening the partnership between the European Union and Canada.
19:07It's not against any third country.
19:10And for the U.K., is there a way forward to, just briefly, is this now a model for the
19:13U.K., Canadian associate membership?
19:16Well, first of all, we need to define what associate membership actually means.
19:20But apart from that, every cooperation format with a third country will always be tailor-made.
19:25Every third country has different interests and also different constitutional obligations to respect.
19:29Well, sir, thank you so much for joining us on Euronews.
19:33Maeve, we continue our coverage looking down to that speech at 11.30 today.
19:36We do indeed. You'll be live from Strasbourg then with your special report.
19:39But that brings this edition of Europe Today to an end.
19:41Thanks for tuning in. See you soon.
20:12Bye.
20:21Bye.
20:23Tchau, tchau.
20:53Tchau, tchau.
21:24Tchau.
