[00:00:00] a step further, because when our friends tell us to do
[00:00:03] more, we all benefit from
[00:00:06] showing openness. And yesterday
[00:00:10] we heard that we want to deepen our
[00:00:13] alliance, the next EU-Canada summit
[00:00:16] will provide an excellent opportunity to further
[00:00:20] align this in
[00:00:22] terms of various areas of artificial
[00:00:25] intelligence, defense, the Arctic region and
[00:00:36] at every step, because Canada and the EU not only share a genuine friendship,
[00:00:40] but a history that shaped who
[00:00:43] we are today. As I said at the beginning of the plenary
[00:00:47] session, Canadians crossed the Atlantic to fight
[00:00:50] for Europe's freedom, many of them did not return
[00:00:54] home. Yesterday
[00:00:56] I had the opportunity to return to you.
[00:01:03] forget the sacrifices made by Canadians, and that we will forever be
[00:01:07] grateful for that, that our future will be based
[00:01:11] on that friendship that
[00:01:15] was forged in difficult times, and Parliament
[00:01:18] has announced the opening of an EU
[00:01:22] delegation in Ottawa, this will deepen our ties
[00:01:26] with the Canadian Parliament,
[00:01:28] promote parliamentary democracy, and bring our
[00:01:32] democracies even closer,
[00:01:34] dear Prime Minister, our dear Canadian friends, today
[00:01:38] marks the beginning of a new exciting chapter in our
[00:01:41] relations, the world is changing, we will together
[00:01:44] shape
[00:01:47] that change, build a future that is fairer, that is
[00:01:51] better, that is brighter for Canadians and
[00:01:54] Europeans, and with your leadership,
[00:01:58] Mark, I am convinced that it will... succeed,
[00:02:00] thank you, Madam President, Prime Minister,
[00:02:03] please, good day, President Metsola,
[00:02:07] dear Roberta, thank you for
[00:02:11] the welcome, for welcoming me
[00:02:15] here in Strasbourg
[00:02:18] and thank you for continuing and
[00:02:21] promoting the values we share. Thank
[00:02:23] you also for the initiative to
[00:02:26] open this office in
[00:02:30] Canada, under the leadership
[00:02:33] of the European Ambassador there, we agree that
[00:02:37] changes in the world are increasingly dangerous, there are increasingly
[00:02:40] large changes,
[00:02:43] uh, new, uh, realignments in terms of trade,
[00:02:47] climate change, accelerating technological development.
[00:02:50] Madam President, you said, and I quote, that if
[00:02:54] we do not write the future,
[00:02:56] it will be written by those with... a very
[00:03:00] different narrative and a different ending. We share your
[00:03:04] determination in that, we share your view
[00:03:07] that the future belongs to us, that we must
[00:03:10] write it. I am here and Canada is here because
[00:03:14] together we have the ability to decide on
[00:03:18] our future and we know
[00:03:21] that this requires maintaining
[00:03:24] our common
[00:03:26] strengths.
[00:03:30] "We must take the future into our own hands
[00:03:33] and
[00:03:36] listen to our citizens, we must create more
[00:03:40] prosperity, we need strategic autonomy,
[00:03:43] we must clearly emphasize our resilience, our
[00:03:47] sovereignty. Sovereignty means
[00:03:51] resilience
[00:03:54] and resistance
[00:03:56] to shocks.
[00:04:00] This is not just
[00:04:02] about finding new energy sources
[00:04:06] to defend ourselves, but also
[00:04:10] about providing access to critical minerals,
[00:04:13] semiconductors, payment
[00:04:16] systems, technology and space
[00:04:19] exploration.
[00:04:23] We all have some shortcomings in that regard, no country
[00:04:26] can tackle this alone, that is why we must...
[00:04:30] work together and strengthen our
[00:04:34] resilience, so, only by cooperation
[00:04:37] can we build a more resilient
[00:04:40] prosperity, security for our peoples,
[00:04:44] we can live our lives as
[00:04:46] we wish, we started discussing an alliance for
[00:04:50] the future between the EU and Canada, based on
[00:04:53] these common values, common
[00:04:56] strengths.
[00:04:59] Thank you. your leadership for
[00:05:02] the engagement of the European Parliament, we
[00:05:06] look forward to your questions. We have time for a few
[00:05:10] questions, please introduce yourselves. State which media
[00:05:13] outlet
[00:05:14] you are from.
[00:05:18] Perhaps a question from Canadian
[00:05:20] television,
[00:05:24] Ms. Metsola, Mr.
[00:05:27] Carney,
[00:05:32] we are witnessing a diversification of export markets
[00:05:34] and we want to obtain
[00:05:38] associate membership status with the EU.
[00:05:44] Canadians cannot give that mandate, but do you accept that you will
[00:05:47] open a discussion and that you will
[00:05:50] organize a referendum before the decision itself?
[00:05:52] Of
[00:05:56] course, there will be discussions,
[00:06:00] so plural, more discussions, not just one discussion and
[00:06:03] there will also be a vote in the Canadian Parliament, that
[00:06:07] is something that will definitely
[00:06:10] happen, but we are now. At the beginning of this path,
[00:06:14] there are discussions with our
[00:06:17] special envoys, both from
[00:06:20] the Canadian side and the European side. We also talked
[00:06:24] in person, I talked to
[00:06:27] the President and President Costa,
[00:06:31] with heads of state and government
[00:06:34] of a number of member states of the European Union.
[00:06:37] At this moment we are at the beginning of this
[00:06:41] process. Uh, I just gave you a few
[00:06:45] examples of new partnerships, new alliances between
[00:06:49] the EU and Canada, but of course
[00:06:52] we will discuss this, at the end of October a summit
[00:06:56] will be held
[00:06:57] in Montreal,
[00:07:00] and we will elaborate on the details
[00:07:03] and we will consider the topics within this
[00:07:07] alliance. Of course, there will be
[00:07:10] a discussion in the meantime. in the Canadian
[00:07:14] Parliament and a vote at the end of this
[00:07:16] process,
[00:07:18] and this process will make Canada
[00:07:22] more sovereign, more prosperous, more sustainable
[00:07:25] and stronger. And just
[00:07:28] briefly, a question regarding
[00:07:32] governance, or the governing process, so there will be
[00:07:35] discussions in Parliament,
[00:07:39] and ultimately a vote will be held. in
[00:07:42] Parliament on the final structure
[00:07:44] of the alliance.
[00:07:48] As far as I know, there were some preparations,
[00:07:52] Special Envoy John Hanniford spoke
[00:07:55] with various representatives, I spoke with
[00:07:59] President Costa and the President,
[00:08:01] President Costa and President Metsola, with some European
[00:08:05] leaders, so what is
[00:08:07] next is important is
[00:08:10] the EU-Canada Summit. October 29 and 30
[00:08:14] in Montreal, but all this will be
[00:08:18] a transparent process, this is an exciting time
[00:08:21] because we have the opportunity, I speak on behalf
[00:08:24] of Canada, for Canada to be stronger, more sovereign,
[00:08:28] more independent, more prosperous, and
[00:08:29] more sustainable. Next
[00:08:32] question.
[00:08:35] Bloomberg.
[00:08:38] Good day, for Prime Minister Carney.
[00:08:46] We liked the idea that
[00:08:48] President
[00:08:51] mentioned about associate membership or perhaps
[00:08:55] you prefer the concept of an alliance
[00:08:57] of the future. Uh, are you ready for this
[00:09:01] after President Trump's threats of tariffs and for President
[00:09:05] Metsola uh, so member
[00:09:08] states uh are.
[00:09:13] uh expressed their support,
[00:09:16] but do you expect perhaps
[00:09:19] some difficulties in
[00:09:22] Parliament regarding these closer ties with
[00:09:25] Canada? First of all, President
[00:09:29] von der Leyen used
[00:09:32] both terms: associate membership and alliance for
[00:09:35] the future, the
[00:09:37] nomenclature itself
[00:09:40] is a question for Europe.
[00:09:42] So the terms they will use, but the
[00:09:46] essence, as all officials
[00:09:50] of the European Union said, as well as representatives
[00:09:52] of Canada, is that the substance is important, the
[00:09:55] essence is important, what we are building together, how
[00:09:59] to join forces together to better serve our
[00:10:02] citizens, protect fundamental rights and
[00:10:06] achieve prosperity, so, I have already
[00:10:10] mentioned some opportunities we discussed, I think that is the essence,
[00:10:14] also, I must
[00:10:17] say that it is, of course, up to Europe
[00:10:19] to have its say, but Canada is not in
[00:10:23] a position, nor does it want to become a full member of the European
[00:10:27] Union, so this is a different framework that is
[00:10:30] relevant for a country
[00:10:34] that shares deep ties, history, and
[00:10:37] ambitions for our peoples, so for
[00:10:41] Europeans as well as for Canadians. As for
[00:10:44] the second part of your
[00:10:47] question,
[00:10:49] this is a positive initiative,
[00:10:52] an ambitious initiative,
[00:10:55] intended for our citizens, creating opportunities,
[00:10:58] just think of the opportunities for young people in
[00:11:01] Europe, in Canada, to
[00:11:04] study,
[00:11:07] in Europe, in Canada, so they can learn
[00:11:10] from each other, create relationships
[00:11:13] that will connect us more strongly,
[00:11:16] so,
[00:11:18] this is what is crucial,
[00:11:21] so, we are doing this for a better
[00:11:24] future for our citizens, this is not a reaction to
[00:11:28] something, but is actually looking to the
[00:11:30] future,
[00:11:32] just to follow up on Mark's
[00:11:35] conclusion, generally we
[00:11:39] should not and should not be afraid of anything
[00:11:42] new, Europe has never been
[00:11:45] afraid of opening new paths,
[00:11:49] creating and opening new borders, as Mark
[00:11:52] said, if... you look at
[00:11:55] the reaction in Parliament to the Prime Minister's
[00:11:58] speech, so if you look at
[00:12:01] the reactions, the positive reactions
[00:12:04] of MEPs,
[00:12:06] but regarding our role in
[00:12:08] voting regarding the ratification
[00:12:12] of CETA,
[00:12:15] as well as our role as a body that adopts
[00:12:19] the budget that
[00:12:22] discusses future programs such as. Erasmus,
[00:12:25] Horizon, artificial intelligence,
[00:12:28] energy, transport, so all of this is
[00:12:31] discussed in Parliament, it is a crucial part
[00:12:35] of our legislative work
[00:12:37] and we
[00:12:41] are actually
[00:12:43] creating new programs for the European Union that are very important
[00:12:47] to our citizens. If you ask our
[00:12:49] young people what they associate with the European
[00:12:53] Union,
[00:12:55] that is the first thing they mention, then they mention Horizon, so
[00:12:58] in terms of opportunities,
[00:13:01] and Canada will only be able to contribute in that regard,
[00:13:03] another question from Canada, CTV
[00:13:07] News.
[00:13:12] Prime Minister, I hope you can answer the question in
[00:13:15] English and French. Donald
[00:13:18] Trump is again threatening this
[00:13:21] partnership, saying it could be hostile. What
[00:13:26] are
[00:13:33] your red lines when it comes to sovereignty
[00:13:36] in any new partnership with the European
[00:13:39] Union? I will first answer in French.
[00:13:42] As I just
[00:13:43] said,
[00:13:48] this alliance is a positive
[00:13:51] process. That is my answer to what
[00:13:55] the American
[00:13:55] president said,
[00:13:59] a stronger, more resilient, more sovereign Canada
[00:14:03] will be a more effective partner
[00:14:06] to the US as well as to the European Union, that is
[00:14:10] the first thing.
[00:14:14] And when it comes to
[00:14:16] Canada's sovereignty, as I already
[00:14:19] said, this process will
[00:14:23] strengthen
[00:14:25] the sovereignty of Canada and the European
[00:14:27] Union.
[00:14:34] Canadians are
[00:14:35] united.
[00:14:41] No one tells the citizens of Canada
[00:14:45] what language they must speak.
[00:14:48] And no one can tell us to limit our
[00:14:51] culture
[00:14:54] or our partnerships
[00:14:58] abroad, so, as I said,
[00:15:01] this is something positive, words about building
[00:15:05] new alliances, new partnerships, President
[00:15:08] Erasmus, all of
[00:15:11] this focuses on the future, on pushing
[00:15:13] boundaries,
[00:15:16] the potential possibility through this alliance,
[00:15:19] we will, of course, additionally decide
[00:15:22] to pool our
[00:15:26] capacities in these areas is fundamentally positive, it will
[00:15:29] strengthen both Canada and Europe, and
[00:15:33] because of this, Canada will become a better partner
[00:15:35] to the US.
[00:15:38] And as for sovereignty,
[00:15:40] as I
[00:15:42] also uh said in my
[00:15:45] speech, what has been our strategy from the very
[00:15:49] beginning, we are looking for partnerships
[00:15:52] that are complementary, that will strengthen our, our
[00:15:56] sovereignty, and that is what this is about, and Canadians
[00:16:00] are united
[00:16:01] and
[00:16:05] firmly determined that... No one will tell us what language to speak
[00:16:10] about what kind of international
[00:16:13] partnerships
[00:16:15] we can engage in.
[00:16:18] Representative
[00:16:22] Lemond. Question for
[00:16:26] Ms. Mezola about Parliament and its role, how
[00:16:29] do you view associate member status and
[00:16:32] what role would Parliament play
[00:16:34] in the future
[00:16:38] of this partnership? Mr.
[00:16:42] Carney, would this alliance be something that
[00:16:44] could introduce additional tensions
[00:16:48] with your neighbor?
[00:16:51] I will repeat what I already
[00:16:52] said,
[00:16:55] we should not be afraid
[00:16:59] of anything new. In this
[00:17:02] Parliament,
[00:17:06] we have always had a tendency to discuss new things,
[00:17:10] we have a commission that
[00:17:13] is a leader in terms of legislation,
[00:17:16] decisions, but also
[00:17:19] agreements.
[00:17:25] It's not always easy for any of us,
[00:17:28] but we must make important,
[00:17:31] though difficult decisions.
[00:17:34] I think that this is something that is... positive, that
[00:17:38] is open, we cooperate with our
[00:17:40] friends,
[00:17:43] we cooperate within the transatlantic alliance, which has
[00:17:47] existed for hundreds of years, and this gives us an opportunity
[00:17:50] in this
[00:17:51] Parliament
[00:17:56] to strengthen ties with Canada. We already
[00:17:59] have very good relations with the Canadian
[00:18:03] Parliament, I just held
[00:18:05] a meeting with my colleague from Ottawa
[00:18:11] exactly about such things we are talking about when we talk about
[00:18:14] trade,
[00:18:18] financial programs that
[00:18:20] are
[00:18:23] recognizable for the European Union. I know many
[00:18:26] young people who are already going to Canada for student exchange,
[00:18:30] why not enable even more people to do
[00:18:33] that?
[00:18:38] And as you saw in the plenary session,
[00:18:42] MEPs reacted very positively, and I have no
[00:18:45] doubt that such a
[00:18:48] reaction will be in every committee that has
[00:18:52] the authority to make decisions to strengthen these
[00:18:56] ties.
[00:19:01] I was on Erasmus in France,
[00:19:03] that's why
[00:19:06] I just remembered the language again, so,
[00:19:10] as I said,
[00:19:14] Parliament this parliamentary
[00:19:16] term, uh, especially, because we have
[00:19:20] a lot of challenges at this
[00:19:22] moment,
[00:19:24] uh, and because of that, uh, we look positively at new opportunities
[00:19:28] in terms of allies like
[00:19:30] Canada, uh, with whom
[00:19:34] we have had alliances for hundreds of years, and
[00:19:38] regardless of discussions about trade, financial
[00:19:42] programs or -
[00:19:45] recognizable
[00:19:49] decisions that will be made in our
[00:19:52] committees, I hope that, as we
[00:19:55] saw in Parliament, that
[00:19:59] members of various committees will also
[00:20:02] react positively.
[00:20:07] I would like to tie into the second part of your
[00:20:09] question,
[00:20:13] I am interested in new ideas, new
[00:20:15] perspectives,
[00:20:17] the leadership
[00:20:21] of the President of the European
[00:20:24] Commission, the President of the European Council,
[00:20:28] the President of France,
[00:20:32] and above all, the perspective and
[00:20:35] leadership and spirit
[00:20:39] of the President of the European Parliament,
[00:20:41] thank you very much,
[00:20:44] with this we conclude this press
[00:20:48] conference, we thank the Prime Minister and the President of the European Parliament.
[00:20:51] We
[00:21:05] watched the press conference of
[00:21:08] the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of the European Parliament,
[00:21:12] and when we talk about this topic in the European Parliament, our Maja
[00:21:15] Štrbac is in Strasbourg these days
[00:21:18] and follows all events. There she spoke with
[00:21:22] MEP Karlo Resler, who
[00:21:24] commented on the plan for Canada to become an associate member
[00:21:28] of the European Union?
[00:21:30] Yes, the main guest here at the plenary session and actually also
[00:21:34] of the State of the Union address, the President of the European Commission, was Canadian
[00:21:38] Prime Minister Mark Carney. I think this is very good, in this
[00:21:41] time of some realignments of transatlantic
[00:21:44] relations, the European Union and Canada, which are,
[00:21:48] according to many views, as was said
[00:21:52] yesterday in the speech, who in a way see the world
[00:21:56] with one eye from the same perspective, are deepening
[00:21:59] their cooperation, deepening their partnership, that is what is
[00:22:02] crucial. So, the European Union
[00:22:05] as an economic, industrial
[00:22:08] superpower, practically regardless of all the problems that
[00:22:12] slow us down, problems related to competitiveness,
[00:22:16] is also facing an increasingly ruthless
[00:22:19] geopolitical environment. We see that this
[00:22:22] is certainly the case for Canada, which is now in a
[00:22:26] fierce trade war with the USA. It was clearly
[00:22:30] emphasized yesterday that this is not some kind of alliance, not a partnership
[00:22:33] that would be directed against anyone else, but this is a
[00:22:37] partnership of two entities, namely
[00:22:40] Canada as a large state, an important state,
[00:22:43] but also the European Union as one of
[00:22:46] the key global economic
[00:22:50] superpowers, which will be aimed at deepening
[00:22:53] our economic, trade relations, which will also
[00:22:57] be aimed at deepening our energy
[00:23:00] cooperation, but also the big issue of security.
[00:23:04] Yes, the President of the Commission announced yesterday that conditions could be
[00:23:07] created for Canada to be one of
[00:23:11] the first countries to be an associate member of the European
[00:23:15] Union. Here in the European Parliament, you could also hear yesterday,
[00:23:19] a lot of discussions. On that topic, it is clear that it aroused interest,
[00:23:22] however, what is even clearer is that in the months to
[00:23:26] come, clearly in accordance with all the events that are
[00:23:29] happening, and even the fiercer trade
[00:23:32] competition, the increasingly unfavorable energy situation, it will depend
[00:23:36] on what exactly and precisely defined
[00:23:39] content such a partnership will have, however, it is
[00:23:42] good that we are moving in that direction. For us, for Croatia, it is important
[00:23:46] to highlight the visit of the Croatian Prime Minister, namely Mark
[00:23:49] Carney. Uh, which happened just before the summer, where
[00:23:53] we also discussed in a similar context
[00:23:56] strengthening uh relations
[00:23:59] between Croatia and Canada, Croatia as part of the European
[00:24:03] Union, but also a country that has
[00:24:07] a new position on the energy map of Europe with
[00:24:10] our LNG terminal, that is something that is very important to us,
[00:24:14] and I think this announcement we heard yesterday is very
[00:24:17] positive for Croatia as well. Yes, what was extremely evident from
[00:24:21] Ursula von der Leyen's speech yesterday is that she rhetorically
[00:24:25] moved away a bit from last year's speech, when everything was more
[00:24:28] focused on foreign policy relations. Currently, it was
[00:24:32] focused on trade relations, on cohesion
[00:24:35] policy, what happened, what
[00:24:38] is believed, that is, analysts believe that it was tried to avoid, is Trump's response, as
[00:24:42] was last year's response. He is, after all, a politician who is truly
[00:24:46] erratic, we must admit that, ultimately,
[00:24:50] "his response was now exactly
[00:24:53] that, he threatened
[00:24:56] additional tariffs if
[00:24:59] any realization of this agreement, that
[00:25:02] is, what Ursula von der Leyen actually proposed, which we will
[00:25:06] hear more about from Mark Carney today,
[00:25:09] is realized. So is this a direct threat
[00:25:13] to the European Union, are we entering a new type
[00:25:16] of trade war with the US besides
[00:25:20] Canada being in it by associating ourselves with
[00:25:23] it? Well, the main line of the speech, but even more importantly
[00:25:27] some policies of the European Union in recent months, I could even
[00:25:30] say years, is creating more
[00:25:33] independence, that is, the ability to act in such difficult geopolitical
[00:25:37] circumstances. I think it is completely clear, and not
[00:25:41] only after yesterday's speech, but that it is our stance
[00:25:44] in general that Europe cannot
[00:25:47] tolerate any blackmail, even when it comes from
[00:25:51] our close partners, and in such a context
[00:25:54] I think it is good, it is positive that Europe will develop
[00:25:58] this new partnership together with Canada. Trump's threat.
[00:26:03] I say, we cannot be guided by statements,
[00:26:07] we cannot be guided only by rhetoric, I think that when the situation we
[00:26:11] are in is objectively and soberly considered, the United
[00:26:14] States of America, their new administration, has chosen a
[00:26:18] path that concerns them. I think it is up to us here in Europe, and also to
[00:26:21] our colleagues in Canada, to try to find the best possible
[00:26:25] solutions for such new circumstances that we did not independently
[00:26:29] choose. You heard yesterday, the main focus here is on... greater
[00:26:32] competitiveness, security, but also, why not, on
[00:26:36] deepened partnerships with those who see the world in a
[00:26:39] similar way as
[00:26:40] we do.
[00:26:49] Stay with us, next we bring these
