I think, it`s exactly what we need now, because there are so many bad emotions around COVID-19 for very serious reasons, that we need arts and culture to improve the mood and to have – how to say – better ideas and better hope for the future.” WS common press statement Jourova, McAllister and Edtstadler in castle park TC 01:58 SOUNDBITE (GERMAN) David McAllister, Vice President of the European People's Party and MEP (on the EU budget and recovery found): “My estimate is that the agreement on the reconstruction plan, the next EU program, can really be described as historical. It is an extraordinary achievement that was accomplished there.” CS Jourova, McAllister and Edtstadler talking wearing masks MS Jourova, McAllister and Edtstadler leaving press statement wearing masks
