05:57conversación among adults
05:58when it comes to the subsidies, when it comes to
06:01the prices, when it comes to some of the practices
06:03almost sector by sector
06:04with the Chinese because they talk
06:06but now they need to really walk the talk
06:09when it comes to a relationship
06:11that works for both.
06:13And another major topic you dived into of course
06:14the upcoming presidential elections in France next year.
06:17Look there's a lot of speculation about
06:19the future of Christine Lagarde. There's really
06:21a lot of speculation as to
06:22what kind of role she could play in the campaign
06:25but also what are the implications
06:27when it comes to the European Central Bank because
06:29she will have to leave early, depart
06:31early. In theory
06:33her term will end in the fall of 2027
06:35but of course the French election will happen in the spring.
06:37I asked her this question. Some
06:39would like to see you be in
06:41that European voice and she told me
06:42she's not a candidate for anything, certainly not
06:45for the time being but she's monitoring
06:47this election because she believes it's fundamental
06:48for France but also Europe. Let's take
06:51a look. As a French I have
06:53my own views. I keep them to myself
06:55but what I very much hope
06:57is that the democratic process will
06:59continue. You know in politics
07:01the next, you know, eight months is eternity
07:03so so many things can happen. We will
07:05be monitoring, we will be looking
07:07at the risk level, we will be looking
07:09at all that carefully and we hope
07:11that reason will always prevail
07:13and that France will appreciate
07:15whoever is the leader for France
07:17that it is one key member
07:19of Europe and that Europe is the only
07:21playground within which
07:23member states, nations, even
07:25France can actually play a
07:27significant role. I'm not a candidate for
07:29anything but I'm very keen
07:31that Europe is protected, that Europe
07:33is the framework within which
07:35member states operate, including France.
07:37I'm not a candidate but I am very keen
07:39and Maeve, just briefly on this point, there's a lot
07:41of speculation also here in Brussels
07:43because let's say if
07:44Lagarde does leave the European Central
07:47Bank earlier, there could be a question
07:49because this was a package deal, she
07:51was put at the European Central Bank,
07:53Ursula von der Leyen of Germany was obviously
07:55named head of the European Commission but
07:57this was a package. If the head of the
07:59ECB leaves, would that have a knock-on effect
08:01on the Commission? That is a serious question
08:03because it created a perfect balance between
08:05Germany and France. That could potentially
08:07change. So of course in Brussels
08:09everyone monitors the future of Ursula von
08:11der Leyen, some would argue it is
08:13connected in some ways with the future of Christine Lagarde
08:15too. Okay, Maria Seah, thank you so
08:17much for that and of course you can catch
08:19that full interview with ECB
08:21President Christine Lagarde, it'll be broadcast
08:23straight after Europe Today so stay tuned
08:25for that. But now for
08:27another view, coming up we'll be joined by
08:28Roland Lescour, the French Economics
08:31and Finance Minister,
08:32an economist by trade and a very close
08:35ally of the French President Emmanuel Macron,
08:37Minister Lescour previously served as
08:39Industry Minister and chaired the National Assembly's
08:41Economic Affairs Committee.
08:43He's in Brussels today for talks with
08:45finance ministers from all across the block
08:47so we're thrilled to have you here in the studio
08:49to give us a little insight into what's
08:51going on in that meeting before you head over.
08:52I imagine the impact the war
08:54in Iran and the Middle East is having
08:56on our economy here is kind of overshadowing
08:59the talks today. Are you preparing for
09:00a potential recession?
09:02Well we're not there yet, both France
09:04and in a way the European economies have proven
09:07quite resilient. As you know we're not
09:08exposed directly to the crisis
09:11in the sense that there was no volume
09:13issue. We still got oil, we still got gas,
09:15we still got fertilizers
09:17but the fact that
09:19some of the oil that was flowing is not flowing
09:21anymore to Asia has risen the prices
09:23and obviously this has had an impact
09:25on our consumers, you know
09:26the oil tanks have been more expensive to fill
09:29and everything. So we've had a slow
09:31first half for sure.
09:32But you're not in panic mode yet?
09:33You're not preparing measures yet?
09:34I mean panic mode doesn't really serve any purpose
09:37so what we've done is we've targeted measures
09:39that are tailored temporary to the people
09:41who are in need, the people who are mostly
09:43affected, people who travel a lot for their work,
09:46truck drivers, farmers and we've tailored them,
09:50we've made sure that they didn't have a major
09:51impact on public finance which is my job
09:54and so far so good. I think the economy
09:56has been resilient but we need a recovery.
09:59I think that hopefully the short-term volatility
10:03that we've seen over the last couple of days
10:04will be over soon and hopefully
10:06will be again taken the route
10:08towards more negotiations, more peace
10:11and then a better economy
10:12which is very important.
10:13And as you say we need a recovery.
10:15We've seen some interesting proposals
10:16by the Spanish government this week
10:18to proposing a new joint EU debt instrument
10:20worth up to 850 billion euros
10:23at Carlos Corpo, the Spanish Ministry
10:25for the Economy. He's also in Brussels
10:26and he spoke yesterday to our Maria today.
10:28Let's just take a listen to what he had to say
10:29and then I'd love to get your reaction.
10:31Spain is actually making a pitch
10:35or a proposal to centralise part
10:37of the national issuances within the commission
10:40within a specific facility that can help
10:43without increasing the total level of debt
10:45to reduce fragmentation and therefore reduce costs
10:48and integrate further our national markets
10:51or national financial and capital markets
10:53and that would at the same time, as I said,
10:56reduce also costs for our firms.
10:58So it's a win-win situation which we hope to discuss
11:01with our colleagues right now.
11:02So what's your view from France here?
11:04Is it a win-win situation? Would you support this?
11:06Well, it's an interesting proposal
11:07because as you know, usually people advocate
11:10more common debt on top of national debt.
11:13What Carlos Corpo is advocating
11:15is for some of the national debts to be pooled
11:18and then auctioned on the market
11:20and then lend back to the country.
11:22So it's an interesting proposal
11:24that solves some of the issues
11:26that usually debt on top of debt can address.
11:29There's one issue that concerns me.
11:31I've talked to Carlos about it
11:32and we need to study it further.
11:34It's the moral hazard, you know,
11:35the fact that if one country transfers the debt
11:38to the whole community,
11:40that might be an incentive for that country
11:42to take more debt.
11:43So we'll have to see.
11:44But one thing is for sure.
11:46We need euro to be even stronger,
11:49even deeper, even more liquid than it is today.
11:52And the main factors behind that
11:56to have the euro as a top-of-the-notch global currency,
12:00we need more competitiveness,
12:01we need capital market union,
12:03we need, you know, we need the whole packet.
12:06And it's not just by transferring debt
12:07that we're going to minus that,
12:08but we do need a safe asset
12:09to reassure the world that, yes,
12:11they can safely lend money to the eurozone
12:15and get it back.
12:15And you saw we had that interview
12:16with the ECB president, Christine Lagarde.
12:18I mean, she's fixated as well
12:20with the capital market union.
12:22When will we ever have this?
12:23When will it become a reality?
12:24She's fixated and I'm obsessed.
12:26I think you're Irish, right?
12:27Yes.
12:28We have a great Irish presidency
12:29starting yesterday for the ECOFIN.
12:32I mean, it starts today, actually.
12:34And I believe I had talked with Simon Harris,
12:36who's now chairing the ECOFIN Council.
12:38He's really willing to nip it in the bud
12:40between now and the end of the year.
12:42Well, they managed, though.
12:43That's a challenge.
12:44Well, that's what I'm going to say today.
12:45We need to do everything we can.
12:46And both you have a deal
12:48and you have an ambitious deal
12:49because there's no way we should water him down.
12:52And there's a lot they want to get done
12:53before next year,
12:54because, of course,
12:54big elections taking place in your country.
12:57How will they play out?
12:59Tell me.
12:59I don't know.
13:00It's a year away.
13:01There's still a lot of uncertainty.
13:02You know, it's going to be interesting election.
13:04And as you said,
13:05very important for France and for Europe.
13:07I started running.
13:08I was in a completely different world 10 years ago
13:11because we had a candidate
13:12that put the European flag in all his meetings.
13:14I do believe strongly
13:16that Europe is part of the solution,
13:18not part of the problem.
13:19We have two extremes that think otherwise.
13:21Could it be up one extreme against the other?
13:23Could that be the final ticket?
13:24Everything I can to make sure we avoid that scenario.
13:27There's a big central back in France.
13:29We need to find the right candidate to carry the flag.
13:32But I'm convinced
13:33that the absolute majority of French people
13:36want progress,
13:38want order,
13:39want unity.
13:39And we just have to make sure
13:41we convince them
13:42that that's the right person
13:43to carry that flag.
13:45And just final congrats on the football.
13:46Who's going to win the World Cup?
13:47Thank you.
13:48Well,
13:49if I didn't tell you France,
13:51it'd be different, right?
13:52I think we have a great team,
13:53but, you know,
13:53soccer,
13:54football is such that
13:56anything can happen
13:56between now and next time.
13:57We're keeping a close eye on it.
13:58Minister, thank you so much.
13:59Allez les bleus, allez les bleus.
14:00Thank you so much
14:01for coming in to us today.
14:03And another topic
14:04on the table at that meeting
14:05is crypto.
14:06The European Commission
14:07has launched a consultation
14:08until the end of September
14:09in an effort to come up
14:11with new, better rules.
14:12For more on what all that means,
14:14here's our Jakob Janos.
14:18If you are a crypto investor,
14:20you might know that the EU
14:21just built a massive financial fortress
14:23to tame the wild part of the markets.
14:25Brussels wanted to replace
14:26a chaotic patchwork
14:28of 27 national rules
14:29with one strict system.
14:31But here goes the surprise.
14:32The brand new rulebook
14:34might already be obsolete.
14:35Look, the entire crypto topic
14:37might be a bit complex.
14:38So your reporter will do his best
14:40to safely walk you through it.
14:42Ready?
14:45On 1st of July,
14:46the EU's landmark crypto rules
14:48took full effect.
14:49And the execution was a total bust
14:51for crypto firms,
14:52especially the foreign ones.
14:54Fewer than 1 in 5
14:55of Europe's 1200 registered
14:57crypto companies
14:58secured a license.
14:59And those who did not
15:00had to shut down.
15:02But the aim wasn't to regulate
15:04for the sake of regulating.
15:05Brussels wanted to stop crypto scams
15:07and protect everyday investors.
15:09And big brands like Coinbase
15:11cleared the bar.
15:12But giants like Binance
15:13got kicked out.
15:15And while Brussels
15:16was working at domestic markets,
15:18Washington rewrote the rules.
15:20Last summer,
15:21Donald Trump signed
15:22the Genius Act
15:23to back stable coins.
15:24Ha!
15:25And if you are a bit unsure
15:26what they are,
15:26I'm here to help.
15:27They are digital currencies
15:29designed to be safe
15:30by pegging their value
15:32to the US dollar.
15:33Like for like,
15:34but digital.
15:36And stable coins
15:36are not a small business.
15:3895% of these tokens
15:40are tied to American currency.
15:41And Trump is using this technology
15:43to expand American financial power.
15:46After all,
15:47money is power.
15:48But here goes the plot twist.
15:50According to Euronews'
15:51exclusive report,
15:52the new EU rules
15:53fail to regulate companies
15:55outside Europe,
15:56so foreign companies
15:57can bypass them.
15:58And EU diplomats
15:59already admit
16:00the rules must be changed
16:01next year
16:01to better address
16:03how tokens created
16:03outside the EU
16:04are regulated.
16:06Look,
16:06I know it all sounds
16:07a bit complex,
16:08but it's worth knowing
16:09what all this crypto fuss
16:10is about.
16:11And you know,
16:12if you want to keep
16:12your money under the bed,
16:14to me it's fine.
16:15I won't judge you.
16:20And now moving on
16:21to another big story
16:22here in Brussels.
16:23The European Commission
16:24has proposed
16:25banning trade
16:26with Israeli settlements
16:27as part of a so-called
16:28options paper
16:29sent to EU capitals
16:31earlier this week.
16:32A majority of EU countries
16:33have been calling
16:34for proposals
16:35to restrict trade
16:36with the settlements
16:37in response
16:37to the deteriorating situation
16:39in the occupied West Bank.
16:41For more,
16:41I'm joined here
16:42in the studio
16:42by our correspondent
16:43Marit Gwynne.
16:44Thanks for joining us.
16:45Good morning,
16:45May.
16:45Just tell us,
16:46remind us perhaps
16:47why there's been
16:47increasing pressure
16:48on Brussels
16:49to restrict trade
16:50with Israeli settlements.
16:51Well, yes, May.
16:52The political pressure
16:53has been increasing
16:54in recent months,
16:55particularly because
16:56of the deteriorating
16:58situation in the West Bank,
16:59violence against
17:00Palestinians there
17:01and the way
17:02the Israeli government
17:02has also been
17:03expanding these settlements.
17:05Settlements which
17:05are of course
17:06considered illegal
17:07under international law
17:08and by the EU.
17:10So calls now
17:11on the Commission
17:12to really do more
17:12to restrict trade
17:14with these settlements.
17:15This is different
17:16to the calls
17:16to ban trade
17:18with Israel
17:18or to suspend
17:19parts of the EU's
17:21trade deal
17:21with Israel.
17:21Calls that have
17:22been existing as well.
17:23We've heard plenty
17:24about them
17:25on the show,
17:25of course.
17:26This is about
17:26the settlements.
17:28So the Commission
17:28finally coming forth
17:29with a proposal
17:30on Wednesday
17:31outlining potential
17:32concrete options.
17:33We first reported
17:35this on Euronews
17:36yesterday and essentially
17:37there are three things
17:38on the table now.
17:39First would be
17:40to oblige companies
17:41in settlements
17:42to acquire special
17:43exporting licenses.
17:45Secondly,
17:46to place more
17:47punitive tariffs
17:48on these products
17:49to make it more
17:50difficult for them
17:51to be imported
17:51into the EU.
17:52And finally,
17:53and crucially,
17:54Maeve,
17:54a proposal for
17:55a full or partial ban
17:57which is what
17:58many governments
17:58have been pushing
18:00for for months now.
18:01This will be discussed
18:02by EU ambassadors
18:03here in Brussels
18:04when they gather
18:04for closed-door
18:05discussions today
18:06and then,
18:07of course,
18:07by foreign ministers
18:08when they're here
18:09in Brussels next Monday.
18:10And the big question,
18:10everyone's wondering,
18:11how likely is it
18:12that this will pass?
18:13Well,
18:13this is where it gets
18:14tricky, Maeve,
18:15because on paper
18:16any trade measures
18:17in the EU
18:18should be approved
18:19by 15 member states
18:20representing 65%
18:22of the EU population.
18:23But the commission
18:24has suggested
18:25in this options paper
18:27that in fact
18:27this is a foreign policy tool
18:29and needs the unanimous
18:30backing of all member states
18:31which is obviously
18:32a higher bar,
18:33a higher threshold
18:34to reach
18:34and many feel
18:35that is quite unfeasible
18:37because,
18:37of course,
18:37there are many staunch
18:38allies of Israel
18:40within the council.
18:42This is feeding
18:43into the narrative
18:43that the commission
18:44might be delaying
18:45or even obstructing
18:46a decision.
18:47This has been slow coming
18:48and also,
18:49although foreign ministers
18:49will have a discussion
18:50on this on Monday,
18:51we won't hear more
18:52until they gather
18:53next in October.
18:54So don't expect a decision
18:55any time soon.
18:56OK,
18:57we'll keep a close eye
18:57on that,
