[Gabriel Gari @ggariuk]

@BaldwinRE Mostly agree but what about data flow restrictions, taxation, localisation requirements, etc.? Are they not relevant and are FTAs not helpful to address those? https://t.co/oW58L4z6jz

[Gabriel Gari @ggariuk]

Very interesting column. To note: driving force of services trade is digital technology, less so trade policy

Pls see 4th (last) @voxeu col in "deconstructing deglobalization" series
Spoiler: Service trade didn't peak

📈 Barriers to digital services trade have grown in recent years.

The highest increases were in the Asia-Pacific region + OECD countries. With regulatory barriers specifically, Africa remains the highest among all regions.

Disputes under regional trade agreements are back! In this piece @AJIL_andUnbound, I count 17 RTA disputes since 2018, then focus on a key question for RTA panels: do new Sustainable Development commitments change the very nature of trade agreements? 1/4 https://t.co/4JRd5Z0tR7

[Alice Tipping @AliceTipping]

Now I’ve slept, here is my take on the main parts of the fisheries subsidies agreement. We went into MC12 with a draft text of delicately balanced rules and exceptions, and some tough decisions to make on the extent of those exceptions. Here is a summary: https://t.co/B9xm6yGT3f

[Gabriel Gari @ggariuk]

very interesting

[Nicolas Lamp 🇺🇦🇵🇸 @nicolas_lamp]

What to make of the outcome of MC12?

There are two camps: many celebrate the agreements as historic; others see the substance as meagre and mostly an exercise in self-preservation.

There is truth in both views but they also miss an important dimension of what was achieved. A🧵

CETA Regulatory Cooperation Forum: Stakeholder debrief meeting https://t.co/u6PmCbn8VX
Very interested to see how this works in practice. Regulatory cooperation is the litmus test for deep market integration

[Geraldo Vidigal @VidigalGeraldo]

It seems we have the first post-Appellate Body WTO appeal. Two points: 1. Arbitrators are to be selected at random from (former AB members)+(MPIA arbitrators). 2. Arb agreement explicitly links this appeal to another (forthcoming?) Art 25 appeal, in EU - Steel Safeguards (DS585).

Comprehensive overview of subsides w/pragmatic recommendations for improving their governance. Urgent to develop disciplines for subsidies in services. Watch out the extension of free trade zones originally designed for goods to serivces https://t.co/FbG77rWjx9.
