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