Who run the world?

Amazing to meet @jacindaardern, a prime example of good leadership and a inspiring key figure in the battle for a more social & green future!

The deal between New Zealand and the #EU shows that #sustainability and #trade can go well together.

🤝 Important deal today!

The right to disconnect is part of the agreement that trade unions and employers signed this afternoon, in presence of @VDombrovskis.

Good work @etuc_ces! Workers deserve their ‘not now’-time when their off work - that’s a right.

Collective bargaining must be strengthened, and is done by trade unions!

When the collective bargaining coverage rate is below 80%, Member States must make a National Action Plan with concrete measures to progressively increase the rate.

Social partners should be involved.

@vonderleyen No talks about religious freedom? Mind you, that does not exist in India 🇮🇳! Why is for the 🇪🇺 trade more important than human rights and religious freedom??

Ukraine’s people have been asking us to ban RU ships for weeks. And rightly so: while we closed our airspace weeks ago, 6,000 Russian ships continue Putin’s global trade on the seas.
 
Yesterday the Council finally decided to ban RU ships. But there are two huge problems.

Indeed I do not understand why you are defending the corrupt trade in golden passports&visa to Russian oligarchs, war criminals and other shady figures. They are not “victims”.

We need full isolation of Russia including a full trade ban. Cut Russia off from SWIFT now! Hit Putin’s entire corrupt system. And yes, that will create discomfort and cause problems for ourselves. Freedom is not free. But united we are strong. We’ll stand in solidarity. (4/x)

Jaren geleden las ik het baanbrekende boek 'Dead Aid' van @dambisamoyo. Veranderde mijn beeld van ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Deze geweldige speech van collega @Assita_Kanko sluit daar naadloos bij aan. Ieder woord raak. Trade, not aid voor Afrika!

Samira Rafaela (D66) ma 14 feb 2022, 18:57

Thank you for inviting me to the Newsroom, and for the interesting questions on the

The EU needs to move from discussion to action. Clear deliverables on trade and investment in cooperation with our African partners is the key for an equal partnership.

I am very curious to what extend the trade committee will come with a proposal concerning the export problem.

I believe export rebates are not WTO-compatible.

There are other instruments to address the issue of competitiveness.

The CBAM should foster cooperation rather than confrontation with our trade partners. 🤝

It should however be very clear, that only trade partners with explicit carbon pricing policies in place can be exempt from CBAM.

She clearly asks for the strictest possible sanctions cutting of every (every!) trade stream and source of income for Lukashenka and his thug regime.

This requires the member states to finally stop the perverse bargaining with national trade interests and to enforce sanctions👇🏼

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) di 23 nov 2021, 10:56

Good, but long overdue. We basically have a last chance to get it right and finally cut off all major remaining resources and space for the regime. Countries have to set aside their own trade interests and stop accepting exceptions. /via ⁦@RFERL⁩ rferl.org/a/belarus-fish…

- no trade union repression
- have a safe workplace

Bangladesh is keen on getting promoted from an EBA status to GSP+ in the near future. If they truly want to, they have to show a true commitment to improving labour rights and human rights, as they are not just window dressing.
