The consequence of no deal tonight is obvious: the EP does not know the consolidated text, is not in a position to scrutinise before the end of the transition period. So make preparations now for a no-deal period and agree emergency measures with UK

Very strong support for 🇪🇺🇳🇿 trade agreement, probably the most progressive deal ever concluded by the EU. @EP_Trade looking forward to vote in future on similar deals that are good for people and the planet.

The #ECT is an anachronism and is hanging as a millstone around #EU neck. Why? 1⃣ protects fossil fuels 2⃣ restricts our right to regulate 3⃣ doesn't include a transparent public court system Only one conclusion: time to move on and prepare our exit. #EPlenary @EP_Trade

📢 Looking forward to extraordinary @EP_Trade on 20 May to exchange views with WTO DG @NOIweala . WTO is faced with many challenges, but also opportunities to make it relevant again. One crucial question: what role can WTO play in getting #COVID19 vaccines to the whole globe asap

#US back in multilateralism. #EU hopeful but not naïve. We see some continuity (Buy American). Not everything will change but a lot will be better. We have to solve Airbus-Boeing dispute + tariffs have to go. A lot on our plate and more cooperation needed. Let's get work started.

Pleased that this dispute on steel and aluminium tariffs is paused. Not only are duties unlawful, they cause a lot of damage for many sectors on both sides of the Atlantic. Waiting for details tomorrow. Hopefully we can finally turn the page on the Trump era and look forward.

Frank discussion w/ @naveedqamarmna on EU-Pakistan relations, covering labour and human rights, GSP+, Global Gateway as well as 🇨🇳's role and influence in the region. There's a lot of space for the EU to step up and assume a more visible role in Pakistan and South Asia

Tomorrow at WTO General Council decision to continue discussions TRIPS #covid19 waiver. US position not final yet, so proponents might redraft proposal. While we know waiver won't massively increase availability vaccines overnight, important development for broader discussions.

Clear and unambiguous signal.Treaties must be respected and are not a wishful thinking.Consequential and inevitable.Another breach of treaty and trust had to have consequences.Conceivably bad start for new EU-UK relations. Now the ball is back in the British government's court...

Overwhelming support in @EP_Trade for the final deal on #ACI . Big step forward for the #EU to stand up against economic blackmail. We do not know exactly what future coercion will look like, but we know how the EU can respond: swiftly, seriously, and speaking with one voice!

It was a pleasure to exchange views with @JozefSikela today. In current context bilateral agreements are gaining importance as anchors of a stable trading system. Strengthening sustainability will also be crucial to ensure people benefit from and support our #EU trade policies.

🖐🏻 Goodbye #ECT , hello Green Deal! After a lot of pressure from @ep_trade we just approved #EU 's withdrawal from outdated treaty. No more fossil fuel companies sueing governments for doing the right thing. No more undermining of our right to regulate for our climate. 1/2

I don't understand how, on the one hand, China is required to be a market economy where companies make their economic decisions and, on the other hand, is required to have guaranteed imports that can only happen in a state economy?

Understanding where China's purchases under the phase one deal in 2020 & 2021 fell short, & why, is crucial to any effort to address the US-China trade relationship. @ChadBown writes about it here:

The EU needs this agreement with #Mexico , especially in a context where we see an increase of protectionism, more inward-looking focus of many of our trade partners and a weaponisation of trade. This modernised agreement can help to stabilise the rules-based trading system.
