EUROPE is at the limit of its ability to take in refugees, and the emergency has become a problem for the world’s largest. This is the appeal launched from the pulpit of Hangzhou by leaders of the European institutions. “The G20 communities – said the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk – should start sharing the responsibility of the phenomenon: there are 65 million people on the run in the world and 4 million who have had to leave their homes in Syria alone “. “We have to discuss the issue of refugees at this table of the G20 leaders,” he added the president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, in the briefing before work. “The commission is working in the preparation of an ambitious external investment plan, using public money to attract private capital. We must fight against the routes of migrants in transit countries, and this is why we decided to extend our plan to the outside world. “
Renzi:” The EU has a myopic gaze, still expect the facts “. “I do like the words of
awareness Tusk and Juncker, but now we wait for the facts to come,” said Matteo Renzi, speaking of migrants, on the sidelines of the G20. “Europe – said the Italian prime minister – has a myopically: Italy is in line with the arrivals, around 120 thousand, the same level as last year. But we can not think of welcoming everyone, we have to save all because this It requires humanity, but then we know that some of these are not entitled to stay in Italy and must be repatriated. ” “Europe should choose to accept the line of the European repatriation, so Europe is an investment with individual countries, creates growth opportunities saves lives and gives future to these people that they can not all be in Europe and Italy” . The Prime Minister stressed: “We are not to collapse, who uses this expression does not realize, but we can not think that we continue to do everything ourselves.”
The TTIP not be archived – the emergency migrants was one of the main themes of intervention Juncker shortly before the official start of the summit. Juncker also spoke of TTIP, stating that the matter is not closed and that the EU will continue to negotiate with the US. The EU, Juncker said, will continue the negotiations with the United States on the Transatlantic Treaty on free trade and the mandate of the European Commission on the subject remains fully valid. Without making express reference to the criticism expressed by the French and German Governments, Juncker said that the TTIP will have “a positive impact” on the economy and employment.
The case Apple – Another issue on which the EU president expressed was the distance controversy between Washington and Brussels on the case tax-Apple: the European decision to oblige the American group in Ireland to repay more than 13 billion euro it is “founded on facts “and” is not directed against the United States, “Juncker stressed. “We apply the rules in accordance with the facts and the law,” he said on the sidelines of the G20 Hangzhou, noting that Apple has benefited from “tax advantages” wrongfully granted by Dublin and that choosing this land tax for “attacking the US” would It was “absurd.” “All companies have to pay their fair share of taxation in the countries where they make their profits – he explained -. Our rules on state aid have always been clear: the national authorities can not give tax benefits to certain companies and other no. This is the red line that the Commission has always worked to defend. We apply these rules without discrimination and so neutral. “
the recipe anti-crisis EU – Speaking of global economic difficulties, Juncker supported the validity of the Union line: “our strategy for growth – the virtuous triangle-investment reforms-audit of accounts is working: the reforms bring results. However, at this summit we need urgent that our partners in the G20 to implement previously agreed growth strategies. After years of crisis – he added, we must demonstrate that we can produce a long-term growth and restore confidence. “
the problem of ‘steel – And’ crucial, then said Jean-Claude Juncker, that China agree to a global monitoring of the excess production capacity in the steel sector. “Overcapacity is a global problem, but there is a particular element of China,” said Juncker, adding that the EU is determined to “defend the interests of European industry Steel and its workers” and remembering that in recent years the sector has lost tens of thousands of jobs in part because of non-compliance on the part of China.
Brexit, message in London – Juncker also responded to questions on Brexit: “I must say that the negotiation of free trade agreements is the European Union’s competence in accordance with the Treaties, and to this we must stick to it. I do not like the idea that the EU member countries, including those that yet members, negotiate trade agreements. This is an exclusive competence of the EU. ” Words clearly refer to the British government’s intentions led by Theresa May, who after Brexit aims to initiate as soon as informal negotiations for bilateral trade agreements.
