the european union, i had initially thought the european union was going to be a great organization. i'm a citizen of the european union myself. the european union has a lot of political clout but also a lot of political tentacles and a lot of ties and the law of constraints on what it can and cannot say. yet some observers, people to work for the european union often tell me that they get criticized if they don't follow the line of the european union, what they are supposed to be saying after the election. it is not that they are not critical. when they don't want to be, you know, it is a good example of an organization that we think should have a lot of credibility but that has so many different things stake the sometimes they have to weigh things. and it is not a failure in the sense that these organizations are not, you know, mean, terrible people who want to go out there and lie and cheat and cover things up. it is that they have different ideals, different norms. to we want violence? no, probably not. do we think that it is better to call the glass half full than half-empty? if

no no no the european union like that the european union isn't serious military or political force in that sense the european union as i said earlier is keen to have good neighbors ship with all its neighbors including russia and tries to arrange economic agreements and cultural agreements and all of that to foster those good good relationships. it is run into a real difficulty that the background to the crisis in ukraine is precisely that ukrainian government which wanted to sign the association agreement with. the european union ran into real difficulties with russia on that point and that led to the demonstrations on the may down the fall of the satanic overture and everything that has followed the european union is very keen to resume strong strengthen relations with with the crane immediately and once were over the immediate crisis hopefully we can get back to strengthening relations with russia as well now there is this phrase in english what doesn't kill you make it makes you stronger and i think you would agree with me that the collapse of the soviet union was almost a near de

but we can also look ahead in the medium term for the european union, which we are doing. looking at dependencies on russian gas supplies. there are six countries right now in the eu that depend 100% on gas supplies. we need to improve the flow, we need to improve the pipeline. all of the countries need to share supplies, and those are measures we are currently discussing in europe. we're talking about short-term, but also long-term measures and the trade agreement also getting more promise and respect. >> madame chancellor, he said time is of the essence and getting shorter leading up to the 21st. one will be the time you would say a third phase of sanctions is what you would promote and is a more energy intensive initiative by the eu necessary on the government level, can you understand the fact also mr. putin is to play a role in the european union which is also his arguments have to be weighed and having made those several phone calls, do you think he will have a chance to look at this? >> as the question of what about the next few days to come, i think the meeting of

france is one of the key countries in the european union. i suspect her influence, she talked in her press conference of blocking eu legislation when it's passing through the parliament here in brussels. bear in mind she's got 25 or so meps in that parliament, a parliament of 751. you have to remember the bulk of the meps in that parliament are pro european, pro eu. so there isn't going to be a sudden, a massive euro skeptic surge in the parliament itself which will stop eu legislation dead in its tracks. nevertheless, where her influence i think will be felt is in french domestic politics. we're already seeing signs that the french president is starting to talk about the need possibly to address some of the concerns that the voters have expressed in this election with regards to brussels' relationship with paris. because of that, because french is such an important country in the eu, you would assume, therefore, when you've got people like the french coming to brussels and indeed the british, david cameron in britain under equal pressure fr
