🇸🇬 and 🇪🇺have signed their Digital Trade Agreement! The #EUSDTA sets standards for digital trade and reduces barriers to cross-border data flows. It includes rules on e-signatures, spam and cyber security, lower costs for businesses and consumers and boosting services trade.

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

🇪🇺🤝🇸🇬 Signed and sealed.

Digital trade is no longer a niche. It's central to global commerce and a driver of economic growth.

The EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement - the EU's first - puts our partnership firmly in line with modern trade realities.

[EU Council @EUCouncil]

The Council adopted a decision to sign a Digital Trade Agreement with #Singapore .

The new agreement will:
📌 enhance consumer protection online
📌 provide legal certainty for businesses
📌 ensure trusted data flows
📌 address unjustified barriers to digital trade

If you are wondering whether this follows any economic logic, it doesn’t. 🤷‍♀️ This also goes against WTO rules and bilateral FTA rules.

Confused about how the US’ reciprocal tariffs have been calculated? Here is an explanation using Cambodia as an example below 👇 (credit to @ChannelNewsAsia)

Presidential Order here https://t.co/t1FuPU2mf4

[ASEANcham EU @ASEANCHAM_EU]

Halving and rounding up gives the “reciprocal tariff” of 49% levied on Cambodia. Assuming it is applied on all goods, imports of 🇰🇭 goods to 🇺🇸 of value US$1 will now cost US$1.49.
