Permanent Mission of the European Union to the World Trade Organization. We represent the EU at the WTO.

[Matthew Wilson @Matthewbarbados]

What a pleasure to meet EU Ambassador Maria Martin-Prat @EUmissionWTO to discuss our shared priorities on @wto reform and support for a strong multilateral system.

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

With Ambassador Greer we reconfirmed our commitment to implementing the 🇪🇺🇺🇸 Joint Statement.

The big picture matters: trade in goods and services tops $2 tn, with exports growing on both sides.

Work remains but we're moving in the right direction, incl. on steel derivatives.

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

A focused follow-up on @wto reform on the sidelines of the 2026 @OECD Ministerial.

The EU's approach is consistent – the WTO must be equipped to meet today's challenges, not just the ones it was designed for decades ago.

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

Glad to be back at the @OECD Ministerial - productive meetings in full swing.

Kicked off with Minister Don Farrell on turning the landmark 🇪🇺🇦🇺 FTA into tangible results and on deepening EU-CPTPP ties, incl. by opening new ground on digital trade.

Collective effort. Strong result. Meaningful impact.

After >5h of negotiations, I welcome a successful trilogue fully aligned with the 🇪🇺🇺🇸 Joint Statement.

The EU walks the talk, while defending our interests. Once approved, it'll boost transatlantic stability and cooperation.

[India at WTO, Geneva @IndiaWTO]

H.E. Dr. Senthil Pandian C., India’s 🇮🇳 PR to WTO met Ambassador H.E. Ms Maria Martin-Prat, PR of the European Union 🇪🇺 to the WTO and discussed various @WTO issues including WTO Reforms. They agreed to continue collaboration to make the WTO more transparent and inclusive.

🇪🇺 On today's #EuropeDay, we recall the Schuman Declaration, which laid the foundations of the EU and its lasting commitment to peace, unity and prosperity in Europe and beyond.
More than seven decades later, these principles still guide us.
Happy #EuropeDay! 🇪🇺

[EU Mission to WTO @EUmissionWTO]

🇪🇺🎉Yesterday, we celebrated Europe Day with partners and friends in Geneva! Across the WTO, the UN and the wider international community, the EU continues to stand for peace, unity & cooperation. Thank you for joining us—and to EU Member States for a true taste of Europe! 💙

[EU Mission to WTO @EUmissionWTO]

On WTO reform, the EU stressed the significant progress made over the last year and Members' strong support at MC14 for a reform work plan. We must build on this, avoid backsliding, and advance a member-driven process with proposals on reform.

[EU Mission to WTO @EUmissionWTO]

The EU 🇪🇺 regrets that no agreement was reached on extending the e-commerce moratorium at MC14. Restoring it is urgent to ensure stability and predictability for global digital trade. The compromise text included in the MC14 Chair’s summary is a balanced way forward. 2/3

[EU Mission to WTO @EUmissionWTO]

We are pleased to announce the arrival of the EU’s 🇪🇺 new Ambassador to the WTO, Maria Martin-Prat.
Today, she presented her credentials to WTO Director-General @NOIweala.
She looks forward to engaging with all WTO Members on key EU priorities, including WTO reform.

[Sabine Weyand @WeyandSabine]

Thank you, @MarosSefcovic - proud of what we achieved @Trade_EU under your leadership. And very happy about the opportunity the @EU_Commission offers me to do research and teaching @EUI_Schuman. Will continue working on geoeconomics, trade and economic security.

[EU Trade 🇪🇺 @Trade_EU]

We're renewing our scheme that gives developing countries easier access to our market.

It means lower or zero tariffs on many products from 65 countries, with different levels of access depending on the scheme.

EU resilience isn’t weird- the EU adds scale, size and power to member states’. The EU is a haven of rules-based cooperation in a world of chaos and conflict. « The weird resilience of the EU »via @FT

🤝 A strategic, timely, well-designed deal.

Our steel sector is key to 🇪🇺 industrial strength and autonomy, esp. as global overcapacity reaches critical levels. With the steel regulation - set to apply from July - we're defending our industry.

Another proof that the Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement (MPIA) delivers! Effective dispute settlement remains essential for a rules-based trading system.

[EU Trade 🇪🇺 @Trade_EU]

Good news for EU standard essential patent (SEP) holders 🎉

China has withdrawn its anti-suit injunction (ASI) policy after a @wto ruling found it breached TRIPS by restricting patent rights.

We’ll keep monitoring compliance 👀
