02x10 - ...Until Everything Is Agreed

[bunniefuu]

For the Commission, the appointment
of agency directors

by the European Parliament
is a red line.

Yet it is the only way to democratize

European maritime policy.

We are not going to let technocrats
dictate the law.

Madam Deputy,
there is no question of dictating

anything.

The European Commission
is the guardian of the treaties.

It is there to remind politicians

of what politicians themselves
have decided.

Agency appointments

are up to the Commission.

What you are proposing is contrary
to those treaties.

The Court of Justice could
annul the whole Blue Deal

over this issue.

I'm sure that if we go to Court...

We're not going to doom
the Blue Deal for

your interests.

Very well.

We could substitute

ex*cuted for delegated.

Just to save face.

We just have to mention Article 14

instead of Article 17 in Article 48.

Small step for democracy,

more power to the Parliament.

OK.

No need. We have an agreement
with the Council.

Thank you.

I have some concerns

about the finning amendment.

Maybe we could discuss it again?

If people are hungry,

we could order them dinner.

-Come on.
-Hey!

It's not easy to choose.

The saw shark... I like saw sharks.

Looks made up.

The hammerhead shark... No... I...

I like that one too, but...

Overall, I prefer tool sharks.

Maybe it would be better

to pick a European species?

You have to choose.

Mr. Know-It-All.

Prionace Glauca.

Prionace Glauca?

The... Can you spell that?

Goodbye.

Thank you.

PARLIAMENT

At night, I hear him scratching.

At night?

He sleeps at your house?

No, I hear it in my head.

And I wake up sweating.

He shouldn't be here.

This isn't his natural habitat.

Sometimes, it seems like
he understands what we say.

No, he doesn't speak German.

Everything's OK!

Hello!

He should be outside
with people like him,

not in this office.

In this cage.

I'm almost done signing everything.
Almost.

Out.

Do we have a meeting?
Are we going somewhere?

No. Michel. It's over.

Out.

They're offering me...

secretary of state of biodiversity.

Eventually, everyone will realize
that you're a replicant.

You're not faking it very well.

I thought the offer
involved the ministry

versus abandoning
accounting standards?

Samy.

Do you really think
they're going to give

a ministry to the morons
who do their bidding?

Now that they know I can
hurt them, they want to co-opt me.

Is that why you did all this?

No, no, it's about the fish.

So, are we going to Paris?

-To Paris?
-Yes. Paris. The Eiffel Tower,

disgusting five dollar coffees
served by assholes.

The City of Lights.

I don't know. I'm just starting
to understand

how things work around here.
And I like Parliament.

I love Parliament.

MPs from all over, the chaos,
the cafeteria.

But if I stay three more years,
they'll forget me.

What's the Blue Deal going to do?

Three columns on page 38 of Le Monde?

It will change a lot.

It'll impact the environment,
biodiversity.

Of course it will. We can do
great things here,

but I'm a nobody.

I'll let you think about it.

Take your time. Settle down.

Let me know in 45 minutes.

I'll catch the 9:26.

I'll wait for you on the platform.
Car 16, I think.

Thanks to our pressure,

the institutions have given in
on some important points,

notable accounting standards.
There's still a lot to do.

What will this change concretely?

A lot!

Accounting... How can I put it?
It's...

It's the whole system,
meaning that...

thanks to the work we did upstream...

Now, we can say that we have

a coherent system in place...

-Sorry.
-Excuse me.

-Hello.
-Hello.

It's a little early to dance,
isn't it?

How are you? It's nice to see you.

You too.

You look so nice. Is that a new...

I'm going to Thailand
on a humanitarian mission.

OK.

Well... That's great.

Want to come with me?

To Thailand?

Idyllic beaches, the Full Moon Party,
and a military dictatorship?

I don't know if it's for me.

We'd be on the ground.

Where things really happen.

We're just pushing papers here.

And even if you manage
to save the sharks,

think of everything
you'll have to give up.

Yeah, the sharks.
Well, the Prionace Glauca.

They owe me big time.

And we just completely changed

European accounting standards.
That's a big deal.

Samy.

There's nothing for us here.

Nothing but broken dreams
and sad people.

I miss you.

Come with me.

Luca,

we did it.

Cheers.

Thanks.

Unhappy is the lover invoking kisses

whose flavor he ignores.

A thousand times more unhappy
is the one who has never tasted it

and who has been deprived of it.

It's almost 12:30.

Is there anything for lunch?

I told you.
He can't survive out there anymore.

Michel.

I missed you, Michel.

Really? Me too, Martin.

-Shall we eat?
-Let's go.

Let's go.

Article 14 is more important

than appointing agency heads.

That's what they wanted!

God damn it. That b*stard!

It's not even my birthday.

You forgot it, by the way.

Yours is March 5th, right?

Tell me.

-Bertrand.
-Michel.

-Bertrand.
-Michel.

Bertrand.

They're like gerbils.

You have to have two.

Otherwise, they get depressed.

Martin.

Nicely done!

Using the appointment
of agency directors

to get Article 14. Nicely played.

Dear Samy, there must be
a misunderstanding.

The secretariat doesn't play.

I have no agenda
in these negotiations.

I'm merely exercising
a modest advisory role.

Come on! Don't you want to take
the mask off for a second?
