#EuroSim22 is over!
The negotiations were tough, everyone fought for the best result for their member state, lots of compromises were reached and EuCo agreed on a joint statement.
However, the Comission's proposal was rejected. What an end!

Thank you for all your commitment!

American businesses will appreciate the support from Estonia by Ambassador Marten Kokk during the COMPET negotiations.

The threshold was increased, to lower it would go against the work to improve from the white paper.
