På semester men tittar ändå på handelsavtal, här ett avtal mellan Dubrovnik och Termoli undertecknat år 1203 - slopade hamnavgifter var en riktig vinst! Inget TBT-avsnitt dock...
EU & U.S AGREE ON 1ST EVER TRANSATLANTIC STANDARD!
At 4th 🇪🇺-🇺🇸 Trade & Tech Council, we signed off on Megawatt Charging System standards for electric vehicle trucks.
This can pave the way for an open, non-proprietary global standard to decarbonise transport worldwide.

Mid-term in the EU twinning project with Min of Industrialisation and Trade and @NSI_Namibia. Glad to represent @sweboardoftrade with colleagues at Namibia’s first Quality Infrastructure Forum and to meet MIT Executive Director Sikongo Haihambo. Progress is being made! #EUtrade
TBT-week is a bit like entering a washing machine, not knowing what day it is anymore - just the STC # where you left off at last night! Having a productive week in GVA, supporting the SE EU-presidency and Namibias participation in the TBT-committee.
.@wto reform, new negotiation dynamic, a functioning dispute settlement, #trade & #climate were
some of the issues WTO-ambassadors highlighted at a seminar at @kommerskoll in Stockholm today.
@MichelleEgan14@UNECE Hi Michelle! The @sweboardoftrade have two relatively fresh reports on the theme of TR and IRC on our webpage - https://t.co/vtLKWZjhhv and https://t.co/SkM830Atky i believe @unece wp.6 have their reports available on their webpage!
Exciting day at work - Will be presenting on technical regulations and IRC at @UNECE Wp.6 pre-session "back to basics". Happy to be in the UN-fora for the first time!
Capacity building is a long-term process. This week the NBT got to reunite with former partners when the Swedish TBT Enquiry Point is mentoring a group of TBT Transparency Champions @WTO. @NSI_Namibia#developmentcooperation
Had a great couple of days in Geneva at #WTOPublicForum absolute dreamteam with @lindaboden and so bright people at our panel "superheroes of trade". Head is buzzing with inspo!
@sweboardoftrade
Thank you to the @kommerskoll for hosting such a great session at #WTOPublicForum on the superheroes of trade. Swedish fika and great experts talking about using international regulatory cooperation better for the green transition, what more could i possibly ask for? @lindaboden
Several mechanisms would be beneficial in ambitious regulatory cooperation initiatives to prevent #TBTs, such as prioritizing #sustainability in regulatory cooperation chapters in #FTAs. Our new report on this will be presented Friday on #WTOPublicForum. https://t.co/bX4248XaLS
Do you know what a Swedish fika is?
If not find out outside room S2 in WTO from 1.30pm Friday 30th.
II you’re also curios about technical regulations & how standards can boost a sustainable recovery join the session at #WTOPublicForum
