Das Europäische Parlament hat heute in Straßburg grünes Licht für den vollständigen Ausstieg aus russischem Gas gegeben. Jede Kilowattstunde, die wir nicht mehr aus Russland beziehen, ist eine Kilowattstunde weniger für Putins Kriegsmaschinerie.👉https://tinyurl.com/4vr6ctht

Fruitful exchange with the Indian Ambassador Saurabh Kumar about the negotiations of a trade agreement between the EU and India and our joint commitment to the WTO. We agreed on the possibility to overcome differences through open dialogue and the need to work together to preserve multilateralism.

A pleasure to discuss closer cooperation with the Indonesian ambassador Andri Hadi after the successful conclusion of the trade agreement between the EU and Indonesia. I will work to ensure that ratification proceeds more quickly than with previous agreements.

Constructive exchange with Marilena Raouna
on the Council Presidency, which will begin in January 2026. I look forward to working together on trade policy legislative dossiers. I welcome the fact that the Council Presidency also intends to focus on this area.

👉EU-Mercosur Agreement
🚜Today the @ec.europa.eu shows that it takes concerns of European farmers serious. It introduces monitoring, investigation and safeguard measures.
🔜Now there is really nothing standing in the way of the conclusion any more!

Europe is under increasing pressure from both 🇺🇸&🇨🇳
With @ipq.bsky.social I talked about:
🔹 Current “deal” with 🇺🇸
🔹 Defence against unfair subsidies from 🇨🇳
🔹 Role of new trade agreements
🔹 Why Europe can only survive with greater strategic autonomy

Debatte zu 🇪🇺🇺🇸 im #EP
Die Zeit der KönigInnen ist vorbei. Jetzt ist die Zeit des Parlaments.
Der #EU #US Deal bietet noch keine Sicherheit und hat klar Schlagseite. Deshalb werden wir die Gesetzes- Vorschläge der EU-Kommission nicht einfach so durchwinken sondern nachbessern!

Wenn es ein Rahmenabkommen 🇪🇺🇺🇸 gibt, müssen #Zölle während der Verhandlungsphase deutlich reduziert werden. Stillhalte-Klausel: Keine weiteren Maßnahmen während Verhandlungen. Abkommen im Einklang mit #WTO-Regeln – zentrale Forderungen des INTA.
