Next stop: the @EUCouncil 🇪🇺

We've taken the next step to get our trade deal with India over the line.

Once in force, it's expected to:

📈boost EU goods exports to 🇮🇳
💶 save EU exporters around €4 billion in duties every year

Britain is rejoining Erasmus+.

From 2027, thousands of students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe, gaining international experience and new skills.

Run by the @BritishCouncil, the programme will unlock a range of opportunities for people from different backgrounds across the UK.

Few think that the world’s next trillion-dollar tech company will be European. But, perhaps for the first time, that does not seem a silly idea https://t.co/wnq7uEkenV

A historic day for the 🇪🇺🇮🇳 partnership and trade at its core.

Our FTA creates a market of nearly 2B people. But it's about more than scale - a choice for openness over protectionism, cooperation over fragmentation, rules-based trade over unpredictability.

That choice matters.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

In Davos, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the United States Congress.

We discussed our shared efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

This process benefits from strong EU–US coordination, from security guarantees to a pathway to prosperity.

I also addressed the need to unequivocally respect the sovereignty of Greenland and of the Kingdom of Denmark.

This is of utmost importance to our transatlantic relationship.

At the same time, the European Union remains ready to continue working closely with the United States, NATO, and other allies, in close cooperation with Denmark, to advance our shared security interests.

We also discussed transatlantic trade and investment.

They are a major asset for both the EU and US economies.

Tariffs run counter to these shared interests.

Non potrà più entrare negli Stati Uniti (oltre che in Israele) perché sta denunciando il genocidio in atto a Gaza e le aziende che sostengono direttamente e indirettamente le azioni criminali di Israele. Non una parola di Mattarella e Meloni - però partono telefonate di solidarietà alla premier quando Fragolino65 scrive un post- neppure un trafiletto sul principale quotidiano del paese. Lasciare Albanese sola, oggi, vuol dire abbandonarla all’arroganza dei potenti, lasciare che trattino una delle personalità italiane più coraggiose e preziose come una criminale e, soprattutto, lanciare un messaggio ben preciso: la sua sorte non ci riguarda. Non ci interessa. E chiunque venga lasciato solo- la storia lo insegna- è scoperto. Per questo, come hanno fatto Elly Schlein e altri membri dell’opposizione, è importante continuare a sostenerla PUBBLICAMENTE, anche dal basso, perché sebbene il suo coraggio e il suo non indietreggiare suggeriscano che non ne abbia bisogno, FRANCESCA ALBANESE NE HA BISOGNO. @FranceskAlbs #francescaAlbanese

🇪🇺🤝🇸🇬 Signed and sealed.

Digital trade is no longer a niche. It's central to global commerce and a driver of economic growth.

BREAKING: Under current tariffs, goods trade is forecast to fall 0.2% in 2025, 2.9 pp less than baseline. Downside risk of reciprocal tariffs & broader uncertainty could lead to sharper decline of 1.5%. Services trade also affected. #GlobalTradeOutlook: https://t.co/gw6CWYFYM8

We’ve reached a key step in our investigation into Chinese battery electric vehicles, disclosing the provisional duties we intend to
impose.

Our goal is not to close the EU market to Chinese EVs, but to ensure that competition is fair.

Our repeated discussions with China on its procurement market for medical devices have been fruitless.

We are launching an investigation under the International Procurement Instrument against Chinese practices that unfairly discriminate against European companies and products.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

The EU and the Philippines announce the resumption of negotiations for an ambitious, modern, and balanced free trade agreement.

We are one step closer to a prosperous new partnership and a valuable addition to the EU's network of trade deals.
