THE ˥∀Ǝᗡ IS IN THE BAG!
Here’s what it means ⬇️
The 🇪🇺-🇦🇺 Free Trade Agreement delivers:
📈 Exports up to +33% over the next decade
💶 Up to €17.7 billion in additional annual EU exports
💰 €1 billion saved every year in duties
Here’s why it matters ⬇️

A historic day for the 🇪🇺🇮🇳 partnership and trade at its core.
Our FTA creates a market of nearly 2B people. But it's about more than scale - a choice for openness over protectionism, cooperation over fragmentation, rules-based trade over unpredictability.
That choice matters.
Henrik Söderman retweeted
🤝 After a year of tireless engagement and more than a decade in the making, we've delivered the biggest FTA ever. High tariffs down, opportunity unleashed. Proof that win-win trade is real and that genuine partnership, like with Minister @PiyushGoyal, is always worth the effort.

Strong piece by Commissioner @MarosSefcovic in the FT on the need to reform the WTO to equip it for today’s challenges.
🇪🇺 Submission in Geneva setting out the EU vision for a substantially transformed WTO coming shortly — watch this space!
The global trading system is being tested like never before. At its centre stands the @wto, which must be equipped to meet today's challenges. The EU's vision tackles the root causes - aimed at preserving predictability, delivering fairness and flexibility. My piece @ftopinion👇

Global trade has evolved — but WTO rules and tariffs largely haven’t.
🇪🇺 The EU has therefore tabled its vision for deep WTO reform, built on predictability, fairness and flexibility.

25 years in the making.
The EU-Mercosur agreement is the achievement of a generation.
For the benefit of generations to come.

At yesterday’s 🇨🇦🇨🇷-hosted stocktaking of the WTO Industrial Policy Dialogue, the EU 🇪🇺 set out ideas on the way forward.
Industrial policy & level-playing-field issues must be central to WTO reform, with MC14 establishing a work program to move from dialogue to solutions.
Henrik Söderman retweeted
A meaningful reform of the @wto is urgent. While some challenges - like ensuring a level playing field - require immediate action, many WTO rules remain vital and time-proof. The EU remains committed to constructive engagement.
Glad to exchange with @NOIweala in South Africa.

In response to new US tariffs affecting more than €18 bn of EU exports, the EC is putting forward new countermeasures on US exports. They will come into force following consultation of Member States and stakeholders. Consultation and list of products 👇 policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/co…
Henrik Söderman retweeted
The U.S. has chosen unjustified tariffs, leaving us with no choice but to respond.
👉 The currently suspended EU's rebalancing measures will return on 1 April.
👉 We'll proceed to a new set of EU countermeasures.
The disruption is avoidable. We're ready to negotiate.
