📢#GSP officially published
Whilst other major trading powers turn their backs on developing countries or offer deals that primarily serve their own interests, #EU is proving to be a reliable and fair partner.
☑️10 years additional market access for developing countries
Political agreement #EU#Mexico adopted. Countries seeking predictable + stable trade drawing closer together at ever-increasing pace. 🇪🇺🇲🇽agreement living proof of this. This despite all the talk of the end of the rules-based trading system. EU alternative model is working!
Delighted to join @EP_Trade Chair @berndlange MEP to discuss the EU’s economic security & trade agenda. Time is of the essence to translate the #EUAUSFTA into tangible outcomes—boosting resilience, competitiveness & opportunities for businesses & consumers in both markets. 🇪🇺🤝🇦🇺
What a pitty. #Starmer’s resignation comes at a pivotal moment for #EU-#UK relations. After years of tactical manoeuvring, he had injected new momentum and paved the way for a genuine restart. This positive momentum must not be lost now. That would be reckless (1/2)
Tomorrow marks 10th anniversary of #Brexit referendum. The past years and new geopolitical situation have surely made it clear that we not only should, but must, draw closer together once again. EU-UK summit on 22 July must deliver. We don’t have all the time in the world! (2/2)
Schade. Der Rücktritt von #Starmer kommt zu einem zukunftsweisenden Zeitpunkt für die Beziehungen #EU-#UK. Er hat nach Jahren der taktischen Spielchen neuen Schwung gebracht und einen wirklichen Neuanfang ermöglicht.Dieses positive Momentum darf jetzt nicht verloren gehen (1/2)
Morgen jährt sich #Brexit-Referendum zum 10ten Mal. Vergangenen Jahre& neue geopolitische Lage haben wohl auch dem letzten deutlich gemacht, dass wir nicht nur wieder enger zusammenrücken sollten sondern müssen. EU-UK-Gipfel 22. Juli muss liefern.
Zeitspanne nicht endlos! (2/2)
‼️🇩🇪🇺🇸Unfortunately, this is no bad joke: US is launching a 301 tariff investigation over a German draft law on medicine prices. That is interference in national sovereignty. Absolute no-go! Good that the EP secured a safety net against Turnberry violations
‼️🇩🇪🇺🇸Leider kein schlechter Witz: USA starten Zolluntersuchung wegen deutschem Gesetzentwurf zu Arzneimittelpreisen. Ein Eingriff auf nationale Souveränität – absoltues No-GO! Gut, dass das EP ein Sicherheitsnetz gegen Turnberry Verstöße festgezurrt hat👇
After 🇨🇳 #EUCO now high time for a proper and objective, and not political, analysis. We need to take action against unfair trading practices, but within the framework of the WTO.

1/2 🇪🇺🇨🇳As EU leaders meet today to discuss relations with #china, I have published a 10-point paper outlining what a confident European approach should look like👇

2/2 💭We must keep an open dialogue with China, while addressing overcapacity, unfair subsidies, economic coercion and critical dependencies. EU sovereignty is not built through isolation, but through clear rules, strong partnerships and the confidence to defend our interests.
📢Today we renew our commitment to developing world. By signing #GSP, we guarantee 10 years of additional preferential market access for over 3 billion people in 65 countries.
🇪🇺🤝🌍
When major trading powers turn inwards, the EU reaches out. Proud of this result!
@EP_Trade
Done and delivered 🇪🇺🇺🇸
@Europarl_EN has just approved the EU–US trade deal.
We promised certainty, clarity and predictability for businesses, workers, consumers and investors on both sides of the Atlantic. And today we have done just that.
This is more than a trade deal. It
