Im going to follow this welcome to the show. E. U. Leaders trying to reach an agreement on a 750000000000 euro coronavirus Recovery Plan of extend that their summit into a 3rd day despite meeting until late on saturday night in brussels leaders failed to finalize a deal member countries are divided on how much of the money should be distributed as free grants and how much as repayable loans hard hit Southern States including italy and spain are seeking substantial aid payments but a group of fiscally frugal northern countries favor loans and more control over how the money is spent. Bridging the gap between the 2 opposite camps is proving to be a major challenge german chancellor Angela Merkel warned that a deal might not be reached today begin. Today we are entering the 3rd day of negotiations and it is certainly the decisive one the various issues the size of the fund the type of control and also the questions of the rule of law have now been well doubt with i still cant say whether a solution will be found there is a lot of goodwill but there are also many positions and so i will support them but it may also be that no results will be achieved today so its a claim that. A lot of talk about here lets bring in our correspondent who is following the summit in brussels for us. Not too optimistic after 2 days of tense negotiations are there any signs of things going better today. Merkel and her counterpart the french president in man where mark rohr arrived early is today here at the summit building and afterwards we saw pictures of them circulating on twitter sowing them negotiating with you cancel president s and the e. U. Commission president this is kind of important because the front france and germany are the most powerful countries in the European Union and at this summit obviously a macro when he arrived today earlier in the morning and brussels at the building he said he thinks a compromise might be possible but not at the cost of european ambitions so this might have been a hint towards home garion Prime Minister viktor orban who can be considered an opponent of macros and multiple ways lets listen to what he said earlier we are all aware how serious the situation is. Its dramatic anyway economically to ponder because one thing but we are speaking about the consequences of that already what almost. It sure is dont you think so so the old almost always rather a rather pessimistic but thats a mistake is not a Strong Enough word to express how we see the future so we see the. Dangers are just approaching including up an economy. Because the consequence of the 1st wave of the pandemic and secondly because of the 2nd wave which we all expect to become whole are we are aware that we have to make a deal so we are negotiating under the pressure that a deal is a must angries viktor orban painting a certainly dramatic picture there he says we have to make a deal but hes actually one of the leaders making an agreement harder to reach isnt me. Yeah there so one thing we call he didnt mention one of the major sticking points today and that is the question if the money that will be handed out will be attached to a sort of rule floor mechanism and sangria in poland strongly oppose this idea of both has been facing accusations of violating the rule floor they say please dont meddle with our National Matters but the thing is that most other Member States absolutely want that rule of my alarm mechanism in there and the most vocal war among them is the neverland matter. And our bond actually got really personal today he accused her of wanting to punish his country. The stakes here are obviously very high especially for the countries in dire need of this aid money but what about im glad merkel and her Council Presidency does germany have a special responsibility here. I think if no deal will be reached today or at this summit its likely that your leaders will meet again in about 2 weeks time and of course germany has a pivotal a very essential role here but its not only about germany its also about merkel herself because we know its her last term and this president is a chance for her to shape her european legacy and also her over a legacy and so the question if a suitable deal if a good deal will be found for europe for the e. U. Will also shape her legacy so this is important for. Following the situation in brussels for us thank you very much.
