[bunniefuu]

-Hello everyone! If you watch the series in original

language, you will be
exempt from the TV license fee.

There are
no more royalties?

You will not be exempt,
there are no more royalties.

But it was bullshit.
I was saying that...

Okay, well I invite you
to watch it in original version.

-Who's on the floors above?
-At 13th, the president, of course.

She makes decisions there with
Christian, his chief of staff.

On the 12th, the
executive vice-president.



commissioners by file, and
so on by protocol order.

-And...

Who is below us?

-The legal department.

-Hello, Madam Vice President.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Would you like...

Valentine, everything is
fine, since you arrived?

-Yes,
everything is fine.

-When will it be?
-In another 3 months.

-Congratulations!
-And you?

-Ah! 20 months. It's a fairly
complicated matter of competition.

yellow]-Mrs. Commissioner.

-Hello.

-When I arrived in
Brussels, I was just an intern.

-I, European Commissioner,
I will not have my

actions dictated to me by technocrats.
-Valentine

Cantel, it's the return of politics.
-I will shake the beast.

-Make the lines move.

-Turbulate the system.
-Shake the beast.

-And no one will get in
the way of my industrial project.

yellow]Objectives,

results:

an Airbus of the sea.

white]-Mrs. Commissioner,
I completely agree.

The Commission is a machine
just waiting to be piloted.

She is at the
service of the designs

of her masters, and she can lead them far.

So...

Tell me: this Airbus of the sea,
what would that be, precisely?

-This is...

a big project.

A major project which must put

Europe back on
the map and hold

its own to the
Americans and the Chinese.

-And to the Indians.

-And so...

Concretely?

-Concretely...

It will
be super concrete.

-I see.

In fact, your vision is that

of a large European
industrial project.

-That's it.

-A great achievement, perhaps
in the field of transportation.

-Exactly.

-Which combines several industrial sectors.

In line with
ecological concerns

contemporary.

-Obviously.
-You don't have in

mind, I'm saying this at random,

an old-fashioned,
polluting container ship?

-No!

-In your mind, we are talking

about cutting-edge
zero-carbon technology.

-That's it!
-Good.

We listen to you.

-It's in the field
of transportation...

Several sectors...

A zero-carbon
container ship.

That's it!

What a brilliant idea!

*-Imagine
"The Empire Strikes Back".

*The UK's mission
vis-à-vis the EU, *is

like the Jedi against the
Death Star of the Commission.

-Are we the
Jedi or the Empire?

*-We are the good guys *who want to save

the universe from
the hegemonic ambition of the EU.

*This is what our readers like
and this is what we are going to publish.

*If they want to whine
about the lack of black

women at the Oscars, *they
can read the "Guardian", right?

-Okay, noted. THANKS.

Hello?

-Hello!
-Sorry.

-Hello!

-Is this here, the
British-influenced strategy office?

-Absolutely! Welcome !

-Petre!

-What is it?
-They took our project!

-Where did you get that from?
-The Frenchwoman took our project!

Carmen Saru
came a week ago.

She asked me if we
had a project in the works.

I said yes,
I gave him our file.

*-My first initiative
as commissioner: *the

launch of a major project for
zero-carbon container ships.

-This is
our project! We did it !

-OUR CONTAINER SHIP OF
THE FUTURE WAS CHOSEN!

OUR CONTAINER
SHIP OF THE FUTURE!

-And our space airship,
do you think it will happen one day?

-Anything is possible, Petre!
We're in Brussels, I'll remind you.

-So let's toast!

-Is this place free?

It is said that the Greens are running
for the presidency of Parliament.

-Yeah...
-That would be smart of them.

Michel Specklin
and Konrad Stracke

could be beaten by Cornelius Jaegger.

He is Green but he is

Flemish, therefore liberal, and therefore...

-Are you really coming to talk to

me about the Greens
on your lunch break?

Seriously?

Or you want me to write an
article to discreetly encourage

an application that would lose Specklin and would favor your leader?

-I don't know why I put
so much stuff on my board.

I am gluten intolerant.

That doesn't mean anything
to you, to exchange our trays?

-I accept nothing
from a parliamentary assistant.

-Political advisor.
-It's worse.

-I'm not buying you lunch,
we're just swapping our trays.

At the end of the day, you
will still have paid for your meal.

Perfect.

What would create a buzz: "10

reasons why the Greens
have the presidency."

I have
already listed 7 for you.

-And that's
where the magic happens.

-OK.

British influence in Brussels
is based on what strategy?

-I would say we had
quite an influence, though.

Before Brexit.

But now, no one
invites us to meetings.

-Do you regret Brexit?
-Uh... No!

No, no!

No!

No, I...

I am 100% pro-Brexit,
note this in the article.

OK?

-100%.
-Pro-Brexit.

-Great.

-Europe needs
big projects.

Great achievements, developed together,

brought to fruition by
the addition of our skills

and our common determination
to build a world best.

Greece, a
major maritime power

on the continent, is

an essential component of this project.

This is why I wanted
this first meeting today.

-"Our government
remembers that it was

only united "that
the Greek cities were

able to repel " the attacks of the Persian tyrants."

-He's
talking about Iran here?

-This is a
reference to the Persian Wars.

Greek politicians
like to talk about history.

It is said that this is what makes
their conversations so pleasant.

-So I can count

on your support?

...

-The Minister
highlights the difficulties

due to the accounting
reform to include

environmental assets and its
consequences for Greek shipowners.

-The Blue Deal?

What connection?

-At the congress
of the Isthmus of

Corinth, Athenians
and Spartans put aside

their old resentments
to unite c.

white]and derive common
glory from it. ..

.

-"Stranger, go and tell Lacedaemon "
that we lie here in obedience to her laws."

-Minister
asks you to renounce

accounting reform in exchange
for Greece's participation

to your project.

-But the reform is passed.
There's nothing more we can do!

...

-The minister
will enjoin to

remember the advice of Artabanes to Xerxes.

At the time, this was not heard.
-Have a nice day, ladies.

-Artabane was

the brother of Darius I

and...
-That'll be enough.

He wants me to drop the reform
in exchange for my container ship.

We will not give in
to this grotesque blackmail.

And there is nothing more we can
do: the Blue Deal has been voted on.

There's
nothing we can do, right?

Huh?

We are not going to give in
to their grotesque blackmail.

Right?

-There would be
a solution to bury

accounting reform, but
that would not please Parliament.

And above all, you refuse to
give in to this grotesque blackmail.

-Yes, we are not going to give
in to this grotesque blackmail.

That is to say, “bury
the Blue Deal accounting reform”?

anthem played on the banjo.

-Eamon? What
good wind brings you?

-I was told
that I could find you here.

The Commission
presented the delegated acts

of the Blue Deal. I thought
you might be interested.

You will note that the
Commission has wide

latitude to set the details
of most legislative texts.

She didn't
hold back on it here.

-Eamon...

I'm not the trigger-happy
kid you knew.

I'm tired.

I want to refocus
on what really matters.

My lands...

My animals...
Maybe start a family...

-I have to go to
a coordinators meeting.

I'll let you gain
knowledge of the material.

Parliament is one month old

to manifest.

And possibly veto it.

Oh the b*tch!

Look!

The level is so high that it
will not apply to any company!

Look at the dates!
If you add the adaptation period

with the withdrawal
period and introduction,

this should come into force in...
-Weird, indeed.

-This will come into effect when
my children have their children.

And this will only apply to
companies larger than Google!

Do you know any?
-Let's see... Maybe there is...

-Sven, the
Commission is trying to scam us!

-Samy, this
is probably a misunderstanding.

Why would the Commission
want to tamper with a

legislative measure that
would help us restore

biodiversity and achieve the IPCC objectives
an increase of 2 degrees maximum?

Think!
No, it's unthinkable!

-You
don't know Valentine.

-The Commission, believe me, is

very respectful of
Parliament's opinion

for legislative procedures.
-Who do you know at the Commission?

-Okay, we'll call them.

-OK.

*-What you say surprises me.
It must be a misunderstanding.

-That's exactly what I said,
a simple misunderstanding.


nothing! [What was I saying?]

*-My assistants will review
everything and we can discuss it.

-That
would be really great!

*-I'll leave it to my department *

to double-check everything
this week.

*Next week,
my diary is already full.

*Then it will be
school vacation for two weeks.

*Then there will be the
plenary session in Strasbourg.

*Afterwards, there is
Ascension Thursday, so...

*Early June,
would that suit you?

-Um...

Perfect!

*-Your questions will
be answered at that time.

-It's perfect!

Many
thanks to you for taking

the time to clarify everything, Ms.

Saru.

red]Sven hangs up. So! You clearly
see, that it was a misunderstanding!

-Yeah. In June.

-Hm?
-In June!

Parliament has only one month
to oppose the delegated act.

It will be too late to
do anything in June.

-But in the
meantime, the Commission

will withdraw the delegated act, that's obvious!

They're going
to do it, aren't they?

Irish music.

-The problem, is
that you don't have a balance sheet.

-I don't have a balance sheet?!
I don't have a balance sheet?!

And the West Indian
day in the canteen, then?

And against everyone's
advice! But one day is too short.

One coconut chicken, three accoutrements...
We haven't seen anything of their kitchen!

What should have been done,
it's Caribbean week, that's it.

Banana fritters,
okra in sauce, stuffed crab...

-Yes, you didn't have time.
-Exactly, I didn't have time!

Two and a half years of
presidency, it's way too short!

There are countries
where it is much more!

In China, Russia, Venezuela,
there aren't even any limits!

In Equatorial Guinea, it’s 43
years since the president has been there!

So with our two and a
half years, we are ridiculous.

Then you have to think about the prestige
of the institution, all the same!

-You would be the stability candidate, then.

-There you go!

Stability! So !

Creole blood sausage...

Cod shredded...

It's time
to finish the job.

-Your strongest coffee,
please. Take away.

Hi.

-Hey, will
you talk to me again?

What's new?

-I'm no better than you: sh*t.

-Okay, that's...

-I published this at the request
of Konrad Stracke's advisor.

For a free lunch!
I'm just a sellout!

-It's not that bad.
It's not like posting fake news.

-My country was from the Soviet
bloc, I fight for the free press.

In my country, journalism still
suffers from pressure from the State.

-Hm...

You're worrying too much about

this article. You just give
people what they want!

-For 14 years, the English
press made fun of Europe.

After all, it was harmless!
Except Brexit has arrived.

Brexit hasn't
changed much for you.

white]You pay more for your handbag.
But it unleashed xenophobia.

white]Poles
are described as

parasites who live on state aid.

white]My cousins ​​had to leave
England because of this!

When I return to Poland, I find my “parasitic”

cousins ​​who ask me for
money because I live in the West.

-If the new accounting
model is not applied,

we will not be able to implement
the biodiversity strategy!

-These delegated acts
can neutralize the Blue Deal!

It will be disastrous
for the oceans!

Very good.

You
don't want to fight.

It doesn't matter if Valentine Cantel
makes fun of Parliament a second time.

-What?

-The Commission
is betraying our agreement

and we are too weak to fight, so what does it matter?

Sven, we're leaving.

-Who are
you calling weak?

-The three of us.

-I'm not weak!
-Yes, you are!

-No!
-Valentine

Cantel stops at nothing!

She cheats, she betrays her friends!

You are no match!

-Oh yes!
I am not afraid !

-Ah? Really ?
-Oh yes!

-You would be ruthless?

Would you sh**t him?

-I have the means to
f*ck her whenever I want!

-Stronger!

-I'm going to f*ck her!

-Yes!
-Speak less loudly.

-Say it: "Damn the Commission!"

-Damn the Commission!

-Damn the Commission!
-Damn the Commission!

-Damn the Commission!
-Can I try?

Damn the Commission!

-Damn the commission!

-sh*t THE COMMISSION!
sh*t THE COMMISSION!

-sh*t!
-Yeah!
