US-EU trade talks
French Trade Minister Fleur Pellerin says France is advocating the potential benefits of a treaty but n.

If we want to negotiate a good treaty, we need to have negotiation positions on either side that are balanced and that are bilateral and not unilateral. And that's allwhat I have said. I'm talking about the general atmosphere of the negotiations. We have public opinion, you know, in France, you have public opinion in the United States are many voices that are against the treaty. So we are advocating the benefits, the potential benefits of this treaty if it's a good treaty. But we need to negotiate in a good, in good conditions.
What point does the culture issue can back the propaganda. No, with or without the beginning. I know exception was put there. There was a compromise area that was reached. But it is going to come back right at the end as a big bad issue to be dealt with.
If that's supposed to come back because in the mandate of the negotiation, in the mandate of the European negotiator, it's written black and white that television or visual services should not be discussed in the negotiations.
It will come back.
We'll see. We'll see.
You know, you know it will come back. I know it will come back.
We'll see. If it'll not come back from the commissions, don't you beget the other instructions not to discuss that particular promises.
But the US is gonna bring it back, Angie.
We'll see. But if the US bring it back, then the commission, the commissioner won't be allowed to discuss that because of the mandate that was signed by 28 member states, that is not supposed to talk about within the mandate.
The negotiations torturously slow but we always knew they would be. Where does France stand on the big issues. Well, are you happy with where things are going on tempt?
Well as you said, things are going quite slowly. But I think it's going natural because the ambition of this barterership, of the negotiations is huge. I tell you it's the first sign. We negotiate for 800 million people. It's the first time we negotiate not only on the tariffs but also on none tariffs areas. We negotiate on the convergence of regulatory issues and on standards and norms. And it's a huge challenge I think on both side of Atlantic. So, it's, I mean, uneasy with the electoral and political agenda, the renewal of the commission on one side, the election on this side. So I think it's quite obvious that it will take some time.
When do you think an agreement will be signed?
Well that's a difficult question.
Go, give us your best guess, best guess.
Best case will be end 2015.
