My @BorderlexEditor latest (and last for 2024). Could the EU-Mercosur trade agreement herald a new narrative that brings openness and security together. borderlex.net/2024/12/16/a-n…

This week we got more clues about the incoming Polish presidency's priorites (tl;dr Mercosur is nowhere) plus some news about critical minerals and export duty evasion 😲 - our weekly roudnup of EU trade news you may have missed by me for @BorderlexEditor borderlex.net/2024/12/13/wee…

Things are - finally! - moving on the EU’s customs reform. Some important updates below by me :) 👇🏻
"The European Commission and EU member states aim to arrive at an agreement in the council on the EU’s customs reform in the first six months of 2025," writes @RobFrancisEU👇

‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’. My piece in today’s @BorderlexEditor on the long and tortuous road facing the EU-Mercosur Agreement ratification. And it’s about far more than beef. borderlex.net/2024/12/09/eu-…. #EU #Mercosur

Chairing this event, lots to think about regarding global trade policy developments.
Borderlex Academy on EU Economic Security Policy in full swing!
Fascinating sessions on what it means to be secure, decoupling/de-risking, critical minerals, how Japan does it, FDI, export controls, WTO… 🤓
We will be well equipped to deal with this in years to come #eutrade

Preparing @BorderlexEditor and showing the WTO's deliberative function with real examples. Oh, the drama! China informing the US: 'By abusing "national security", the United States has broken one window after another of the mansion of the multilateral trading regime.'

We 🇪🇺 can’t really afford a muddle over trade policy, particularly but not only if 🇺🇸 goes Trump.

Delighted to be chairing a @BorderlexEditor Academy in three weeks time on EU economic security - by then we should know the winner of the US election and be closing in on a new Commission - so great timing, and a fabulous panel of speakers. borderlex.net/2024/10/16/bor…

France will this week follow Germany in conducting ID checks at all its borders, and the Netherlands will follow shortly afterwards.
This is the domino effect people warned about with Scholz's unilateral decision. belganewsagency.eu/france-pr…

A big day for fans of the EU's foreign subsidies regulation - the results from the commission's first major investigation just dropped. My roundup for @BorderlexEditor borderlex.net/2024/09/24/com…

Much to chew on, ahem, in this op-ed by @JohnAClarkeEU for @BorderlexEditor on China's anti-subsidy probe launched yesterday into EU cheese. Of course it is retaliatory, but 🇨🇳must be careful lest it throws a spotlight on its own agricultural subsidies borderlex.net/2024/08/22/com…

A lot of hand-wringing in the Brussels bubble about the upcoming Hungarian council presidency for a variety of reasons. But what are the presidency’s priorities on EU trade policy? It’s quite a list. My roundup below for @BorderlexEditor borderlex.net/2024/06/18/hun…

This action by China would be marginally more credible if EU pigmeat exports to China hadn't *fallen* from 3.337mt in 2020 to 1.158mt in 2023.
Exports falling almost as fast as Chinese EV exports to the EU are rising - not that the 2 are linked, obvs...
