EU officials at DG Trade in Brussels currently not knowing whether they should laugh over cry over that completely bogus 39% tariff the EU is allegedly charging the U.S.

Det her er bare godt! Ros til Danske pensionsselskaber for at tage godt imod vores ide. Vigtigt at vi får sat turbo på investeringer i europæisk forsvarsindustri og militær støtte til Ukraine. Og meget gerne i samarbejde med pensionskasserne! 🇩🇰🇪🇺💪🏼

Når man referere til andre politiske partiers politikker skal man læse på lektien først.
Kort sagt Venstres politik er ikke at få Tyrkiet med i EU.
Shame on you! @alexanderryle
P.S. Har LA ikke egne politikker som er mere interessante at dele end falske påstande om andres!

[Alexander Ryle @alexanderryle]

Venstres ønske om at få Tyrkiet 🇹🇷 med i EU 🇪🇺 inden for 8-10 år virker helt urealistisk. For selvom Tyrkiet officielt er kandidatland, har de senere års udviklinger inden for rettigheder, demokrati og retsstatsprincipper distanceret dem fra de værdier, som EU er bygget på. #dkpol #eudk

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@tlholbek Ja, der er ingen tvivl om at Russerne skal stoppes og at der er billigst (og sikrest) at gøre det ved den Russisk/Ukrainske grænse og ikke ved EUs grænser.
Spørgsmålet er om vi vil bruge pengene på at købe materiel udefra eller selv producere inden for EUs grænser!

@hhesterm Isn’t it just the simple fact that in German the word “schuld” means both “Debt” and “Guilt”.
With cash you have no debt and not guilt 👍

A4E commends the member states and Commissioner @AdinaValean who expressed their strong public support in favour of the Single European Sky 🛫

MS must stop putting national interests ahead of EU interests and deliver for passengers, airlines and especially the planet 🌍

@AnnaJerzewska Politically, Brexit was never intended to work for Business 😲

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@AnnaJerzewska @vivamjm @smarterskills @DGWilkinson @uk_tpo This is how democracy works. You get what you vote for, regardless of what you expect. In the case of the U.K. Brexit process there clearly is a big discrepancy between expectations and reality. Not that no one know or raised their voice, but nobody listened to the experts!

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@Griffinjohn38 @smarterskills @DGWilkinson @uk_tpo @AnnaJerzewska To date I see no benefits for businesses at large from Brexit. I merely see a concentration of power towards London and costs of these changes being carried by businesses and individuals. Brexit has clearly never been about regulatory optimisation.

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@smarterskills @DGWilkinson @uk_tpo @AnnaJerzewska Simple, as there are only products that may no longer be traded, any businesses may trade. Thereby said, it is the business’ resilience to change and the managements ability to act in time that cause these businesses to suffer. Not the change in itself.

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

And I who thought Brexit was a potential threat to British Democracy!
Visibly physical violence still remains #1.
So sad!

[Dr Anna Jerzewska @AnnaJerzewska]

This really is horrific news

It just keeps happening, both in the UK and elsewhere

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@AnnaJerzewska That’s what I say about biking gear, and yet 🤣

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

It is the cost of dismantling the highly integrated cross border supply chain that hurts the U.K. The creation of the EU internal market was, and still is, a huge benefit to businesses across the EU.
A benefit that U.K. companies do no longer have and cannot compensate!

[Dr Anna Jerzewska @AnnaJerzewska]

I don’t know who still needs to hear this but I keep getting the “it’s just a form” comments and questions.

These new barriers to trade faced by UK companies are after all normal in international trade so what's the big deal?

@francois_cp @redouad Indeed a condition to reach high figures is to vaccinate at least some of the under 18. Portugal did a very successful campaign over summer to get the 12-17 to get vaccinated.

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@ItsArnaud @paulg @redouad @MaxCRoser You really do not know. You are just guessing. Right!
Shame on you!

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@paulg @redouad @MaxCRoser The Portuguese figures are high because of multiple factors. One is the very high attention to youth vaccination during the summer period, another is the continued requirement to show a COVID certificate at the entry into for instance restaurants.

@DavidHenigUK Just left a 2days meeting in Copenhagen. Incredible reexperience. Have another trip planned for Frankfurt in 3 weeks. Soooo good to meet people again 👏

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@AnnaJerzewska Any paperwork?

@crowfather1 @Dominic2306 @crowfather1 Not trying to be smart here, but I honestly think the answer to your question can be found in a book about Narcissism!
Zero empathy and total detachment from reality living on lies and conspiracy messing up the mind of the ordinary person. That is how I see them….

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

@philroyceman Nothing lasts forever and even dictators eventually die. There are many EU countries that would be happy to see British diplomats back on the friendly scene and very few that wouldn’t. But of course not as long as BoJo is in place.

[Morten Petersen @MBjP65]

The British diplomats actually played a very important role in the EU machinery having a lot of power/influence, but EU is a democracy in diversity and one cannot come to the table with an imperialistic approach. This is where the Tories failed. Not the British.

[Mafevema (MC Wheatley) @mafevema]

@DavidHenigUK The English would ❤ the EU if they could dominate it. With their obsession on "leading", had they been there at the start - rather than dismissively assessed it could not work without England- & shaped it, they would be pro-EU fans. They always resented the fact that they 2/
