social distance is now becoming a dominant model in the eu. there are, however, also a number of statistical issues and regulatory issues that play into this. so in order to be an employee you need to be available for the labor market, which is a problem in the lockdown situation so there is a bit of a distortion probably coming, also coming from there and a number of countries, i think, have introduced sort of a moratorium on the forced job losses. so if you look at the number of the reduction in the hours worked, actually, clearly you see a much bigger impact than if you look at simply-- i see, so-- a big chunk of the people are unemployed in the u.s. are people on temporary layoffs. so they would in many cases not be counted as unemployed in-- so you need to take that into account. now clearly a policy choice that's been made here, which i think in a different policy choice that's probably being made in the u.s., is to maintain the connection between-- as much as possible between the people and their company or institution where they work.

but even borrowing against the eu budget, we have done before. what is new is the size, >> that really is important. i think to give people a sense 750 billion dollars is five times the annual budget of the eu. >> yes. it is massive in terms of size. it's about 5% of the gdp which is a lot, actually. and so it's a size and it's affected that we incur debt at the union level to pay for expenditure. not to be precise. what do we want to do with this money? is mostly to use this to front to fund investments. and the central, it's not the only program but the central program and this is the so-called recovery and resilience facility. it would provide 310 billion investment grants and 250 billion in investment loans to member states who finance programs of reforms and investments. and this is what we are trying to do. we are trying to look for combinations of reforms and investments, first of all that will help us now to speed up the recovery now that is very important. but also to transform the structure of the economy and to make the economy greener

the eu 27. when that would be, we don't know. this proposal seems to make some concessions to the so-called frugal four. that is austria, denmark, sweden opposednetherlands that the initial recovery fund in the first place. they were worried about the size of it, worried about the idea of shared debt. givingre worried about cancel or loans without any condition to some member states. for example, they wanted money to be given with a condition that would mean the state might have to reform its economy, for example. is head is hoping that what on the table will convince them to sign up on it. the french president seemed adamant in the last days and weeks that whatever happens, the cover refunda big for europe to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, but also because if it doesn't, that might feel -- fuel anti-eu intiment within the union people that feel they've been let down by the union. that's why he is pushing for an ambitious clamp it -- ambitious plan. tosident macron: this is take the risk of

after a marathon summit, eu leaders struck a deal on a pandemic recovery fund and an eu budget deal. but now there's another hurdle. the final package must pass the european parliament, and some meps, including the budget committee, are insisting the deal cannot be passed in its current form. joining us fresh from the debate in parliament is the belgian mep and former prime minister guy verhofstadt. thank you for your time today. do you think this deal should go through today given the difficulty getting to this date already? this deal will go through that it will be naturally also reformed, the deal, in the way that more pan—european projects will be becoming the top priority of the recovery fund, and secondly it is absolutely necessary that the european parliament, european democracy, as a full oversight on this 750 billion recovery fund. that said, it's an enormous step forward. 750 billion recovery fund, based on bonds issued by the european union, and paid back by the european union, and paid back by new resources. i call it hamilton moment for the european union. some are con

for a veto and that's holding up the eu coronavirus recovery fund. now, there is quite a division here, isn't there, between the so—called frugal states who want certain conditions in place for this fund, and also some disagreement over whether these should be grants 01’ over whether these should be grants or loans, isn't that right, benedicte? indeed. so it's interesting to notice is the first face to face summits, eu summits and five months, of course, because of the pandemic, so we saw of course, because of the pandemic, so we saw all leaders wearing masks and elbow bumping, but they do have and elbow bumping, but they do have a very tough task ahead of them, because there is real division, and distention, they could come to an agreement, but that would be according to some quite surprising, and what we are talking about here isa and what we are talking about here is a proposed 750 billion euro post—pandemic recovery plan, and as you said, there's the difference between countries like france that actually want this to be a grant and countrie

that is to bresky's, eu -- valdis dombrovskis, eu commissioner. from new york city this morning, good morning. this is "bloomberg surveillance ." ♪ ♪ jonathan: from new york city, this is "bloomberg surveillance ." we are live on bloomberg tv and radio. alongside tom keene and lisa abramowicz, i'm jonathan ferro. yourfriday morning, here's price action across asset worldwide. equities slightly positive on the session, off by 0.3%. we are on record watching the gold market. crude positive zero point 5%. wti back to $41.29. in the bond market, up a civil basis point. sticky ineld is very and around the last month. tom: europe to the rescue today. we had better economic data out of europe, but when i walked in the door, i come in hours before you do, but when i came in, it was pretty grim. jonathan: that is the tom keene complaint that he gets up really early. but you text me on the weekend at 3:30 in the morning. tom: that's true. jonathan: and you choose to do that on the weekend. tom: that's what we do. we are reading on the weekend and trying

we're going to have a successful program of this called invest eu. of an even bigger size. we think this is important but we are trying to target it a bit more to a specific policy area. so we were just 30 when we started with the plan . the main goal was investment. it didn't really matter which investments. the way we've set up the invest eu program now is more related to specific target areas and also to avoid that work carving out too much private finance. the areas that immediately come to mind and which will be very important is again the green. but as you were joking, rural broadband. it is for the inner cities there's not much you have to do that will normally the marketwill take care of that . in rural areas, it may be more difficult so you may need different types of planning and i think what we have been experimenting with here is more and more these blending of different facilities that we can have the public, partially public financed by risk financed through the eib and partly pure private sector so that's what we're seeing. >> this is really a topic, the comm

is this a real turning point, do you think, for the eu? is this an opportunity as angela merkel said in the press conference? this is also very good news in the sense that we are having a joint effort put together, joint debt to actually pursuejoint objectives, so it is notjust everybody do whatever they want with the money but we have to put this money and service of the common goals, so once again for me it is good news. it is not actually very new because there has been the same principle before, the money comes earmarked with objectives and spending targets, so that is not a big issue, it is actually very good news because it creates a sort of common purpose for these investments, a european target. 0n the other hand, i would say it averted the idea of linking, at least from the details and seeing on the press because i'm discovering these together with you, we averted the risk of having other type of conditions like macroeconomic conditions. these things would actually not make any sense in the present context. ok, great to get your p

we formerly left the eu at the end of january this year and not we formerly left the eu at the end ofjanuary this year and not much changed in our everyday lives. we are still following the rules during that transition period. but this week, the government is going to give us a real sense, for better or worse, of what life will feel like outside the eu. there will be commons statements and that big publicity campaign telling businesses and the rest of us how we are going to be affected. talks are still going on with brussels to try to strike a trade deal, but deal or no deal, by january next to strike a trade deal, but deal or no deal, byjanuary next year, i think it's going to really feel as if brexit has arrived. iain watson reporting from westminster. one striking aspect of coronavirus response in recent weeks has been the contrasts between the four nations of the uk — decisions on easing lockdown being taken at different times and in different ways. we'll be exploring those contrasts — and what they reveal — in a series of reports this week, beginning tonight with our wales corresp

as for china, the eu will allow travellers to enter only if the country accepts visisitors from the eu. the eu sets the criteria for opening its borders. one of them is that the number of cases per every 100,000 people in the last 14 days must be lower than the eu average. because of this, some countries such as the united states and russia are not included this time. the eu will review the list every two weeks after watching trends of infections. it's still not known whether unrestricted travel will take place immediately as immigration control is under the jurisdiction of each member nation. someme countriesay ilate visitorsrom outsi the bck for a certain period. the fight against covid-19 continues worldwide. there are now over 10.3 million univerty in the united states.ns the deatholl has exceed 500,00 as the number continues to surge, scientists across the globe are rushing to develop a vaccine. researchers in japan launched the country's first clinical trial on tuesday. pharmaceutical company anges sasays trials are being conduct on 30 healthy people at a university hospital in o

in order to confront the biggest recession in the eu's history, officials said the eu had consensus on a 750 billion euro coronavirus fund will be set up as loans and grants and that will be given to the companies hit worst by the virus. that signals it will probably italy that gets the lion's share of this for the greatest amount of money out of the hardest hit countries in the euro area. the first grants are to total 500 billion euros, but the figure is being brought down to 390 billion euros, done to assuage the frugal four countries in europe, which were white set against this -- quite set against this. denmark, the netherlands, which was the primary critic of this fund, and also sweden and denmark. just really officials getting this consensus. there we go. the european union president talking there. twittert right deal! on as soon as there was an agreement made on this. now, what it could do, it could lead to fiscal coordination and that is the real core of all of this. we could see the creation of a sovereign fixed income market for the eurozone, something that hasn't existed. a

the eu operates in a lot of unanimity. every single country can veto an agreement which is why it is so complicated and hard for leaders to agree to something in the end. staying in europe, and in france, it's now compulsory to wear masks in indoor spaces like shops, restaurants and banks. france has seen a slight resurgence of coronavirus infections. hugh schofield is in paris. it is perfectly possible that things turned back. there has been a rise in the number of clusters in france over the last couple of weeks and i have certainly been indications much lamented by government and doctors of people simply not taking it as seriously any more, the holidays are upon us and there's a feeling relaxation around the country which i think relaxation around the country which ithink an relaxation around the country which i think an spooked government, so as much as anything this is a psychological reaction to get people to realise it's not over. from europe to india, where the government is under pressure to acknowledge community

but what is shocking is eu is doing what any sort of large block of nations would do which is seeking to have its own dealfor its which is seeking to have its own deal for its members. which is seeking to have its own dealfor its members. as the benefits are being in a union but what is shocking is that last week it was being braced that the uk wasn't even taking part in this in any way shape or form, this week now they are showing the fact may be we are thinking about it and considering it. but what they are considering it. but what they are considering according to the ft is london is assessing whether the advantages of the european block bargaining power to strike deals outweighs the broader political desire to sever ties

in all respects of how the eu can risk their own resources. that may actually be one of the big steps of the recovery fund and the long-term budget that we get even more integration among those european countries not only are they sharing a bit of the debt burden but at the same time, they could make up their mind and say, all right. okay we go forward with our own resources, which is a requirement for coming along towards, let's say not a hamilton moment but another step of such a moment >> some quarters of europe are certainly like rules when you look at what could be debated, one suggestion would send out the money through grants and conduct annual reviews. that does provide fees and intervention like we saw with the constant having to clear hurdles. the other compromise would start loans and write off those and turn them into grants if certain conditions would be met. what would be more palatable for members for the likes of greece and other member countries >> i think a lot of those countries, which expect to receive a big chunk of the mo

more now on the marathon talks among eu leaders in brussels. delegates are taking a break before resuming talks to try to hammer out a huge post—coronavirus economic recovery plan, with a testy summit in brussels which is now in its fourth day. some member states believe the proposed 750 billion euro package — thats $857 billion us — is too large and should come as loans, rather than grants. this as a worldwide record one—day rise in new infections was reached over the weekend. the world health organization says new cases rose by almost 260,000 in 24 hours. joining me now is michele geraci, former undersecretary of state at the italian ministry of economic development. good morning, thanks for being on the programme. we knew these talks would be tough. but give us talks would be tough. but give us your take on how they resolved this argument about how the money is dished out?” believe today, leaders will find what is a political solution, something that they can claim to be a victory by going back to home countries and deal with their

the front of the telegraph again, lucy, the paper that keeps on giving, migration crackdown to bar eu criminals. this is yet another iteration of the government's determination to change the immigration system in various ways. what do you make of this story? well, i think the conservative party stood on a manifesto that wanted to make changes to immigration and really central part of their new government, and so this is arguably them delivering on the manifesto promises. the elements of this are notjust promises. the elements of this are not just about backing promises. the elements of this are notjust about backing down on criminals, but also about introducing a points —based immigration system, so it isn't enough to be a low skilled migrant. actually what the immigration policy will require is for you to have various points so that you can be more of a skilled migrant, and i think with unemployment looming in the uk because of lockdown and covid, that is going to be a welcome news to people who are british and would like to get a job knowing that companies are almost going to be f

it has the second time been successfully challenged to the eu and u.s.. in 2015, the safe harbor agreement was stuck down, which was then replaced by privacy shield, which has been struck down by the ec j. it does not mean all data transfers will immediately stop. there is a backup provision which will allow necessary data transfer to take place, but it removes the assumption that companies will ensure that data is protected to eueu standards. they will have to ensure that the places they are sending data to are protected to standards provided within the eu union. protection authorities within the eu will now be able to order companies to stop sharing that data if they do not feel the standards are met. they welcome that decision, saying it would push the u.s. to change their roles in surveillance if they want to continue to do business with the european union. business groups are less happy and worried about the legal uncertainty created by this and how it will affect companies using privacy shield. toy want t policymakers come up with what they call a s

and eu. the eu trade commissioner a couple days ago s spoke about the numbmber of national investigations launched by the u.s.. he suggested they are politically motivated rather than based on genuine, national security concerns. what do you make of that accusation? >> we have been working and trying to have a trade agreement with the european union almost since -- certainly since i had gotten here. in 201018, i remember conversations that took place at the white house. and they are ongoing. hopefully, we will see some proof from those conversations sometime between now and the end of the year. >> the wto is considering a counter complaint for u.s. support against boeing. this could report to retaliatory tariffs. one might ask w with this back-and-forth going on for some time, why not at all these disputes? >> what a wonderful idea, but it takes two o people to settle th. my guess i is that they will get settled. they will get settled hopefully in a comprehensive fashion, but there are a wide
