well the verdict has caused concern in the european union to talk more on that will joined life by european m.p. tatyana jon mann thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us here on r t i am curious in terms of the criticism that has been. that as emerged in this case from the european union what exactly do you find wrong with the guilty verdict against mr not only. yes of course. one of the following is yvonne. who is the president of liberals. of course people are saying. that motivated sentence if i would be defender of conspiracy theory i would those seeing this it is a very good plan of creation of an image. from mr. i man i'm curious the u.k. has said the justice in russia is selective do you believe in that. i see exactly. right and but then many countries including my own lead to justice is very selective and do you think that the outcome would have been different if not only himself was unnecessarily involved in politics in russia. it's very hard for me to true true to make some comply. because of course if you are entering politics justified against corruption you must be

judicial system works in a very different way to many member states of the european union and we feel that the u.k. should have the freedom to choose whether to extradite these individuals to the e.u. or not well this is just one of those regulations but looking at it on the whole it will be analyzed later on if indeed the u.k. opts out and eventually may opt in again so wouldn't opting out right now just create another barrier wouldn't it really make it just another hurdle to get through will indeed we look before the. european union because we are concerned that the future government whether it be labor conservative or any other color will actually go into these protocols and expose british nationals to experiences that they do not want and would not be held in the k. and ultimately this is something that would not happen we would not be hope. in to many of these regulations if we were outside the european union completely but there is that still up for debate for vote if and if it indeed does happen wouldn't this be very shortsighted on the part of the u.k. i don't think it would b
