Export controls 💪 are there to help trade flow 🌏. They subject just a small set of items, ones that could disturb international peace or human rights to extra controls. #sleepingsafer
But that 🇪🇺 list needs to be updated.
✔️ 2026 job done @Trade_EU.

🇪🇺 6 months on from the FDI political deal we’re almost there. Last month EP, this week Council. Next stop publication and entry into force. 👏👏 to great team in DG Trade and Economic Security that steered this through. consilium.europa.eu/en/press…
The 🇪🇺Mercosur agreement has been a constant throughout my time in DG Trade and Economic Security.
Now we see a giant step towards delivery. 👏
Economically a big deal. 👍
In a fragile world, it shows cooperation and building bridges still matter. 👍👍
Today, we signed a Partnership Agreement and an Interim Trade Agreement with Mercosur.
Together, we create one of the 🌎’s largest trade zones, covering 720 million consumers, and strengthen cooperation on economic & geopolitical issues

Great day spent with Export Control gurus at EU export control forum 2025. Good reminder of importance of effective controls, but also the changed geo-politics of trade. @Trade_EU, @DRedonnet 👏To my trade team for pulling this together.

From cars to AI chips, critical minerals and pharma - today's 🇪🇺🇺🇸 trade framework locks in a 15% tariff cap, key exemptions, and a platform for strategic cooperation.
A serious deal restoring confidence. Stability today. Growth tomorrow.

Together, the EU and the US are a market of 800 million people.
And nearly 44 percent of global GDP.
It’s the biggest trade deal ever ↓ xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1yNGaLgME…
