A big day for EU trade. With the provisional application of the EU-@mercosur Agreement now in place, we can finally start unlocking the full potential of this historic deal.

It's a chance for growth and stronger ties with important global partners. Let's make the most of it.

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

🆕 Pleased to sign with @SecRubio an 🇪🇺🇺🇸 MoU on critical minerals resilience.

More strategic. Faster. Stronger - together.

The direction is clear. Now, turning shared ambition into high-impact projects. Delivery will define success.

Finland warmly welcomes the conclusion of EU-AU FTA text, signing of Security and Defence Partnership and launching negotiations for AU’s Horizon Europe association. Finnish government program recognizes Australia as an important partner with whom to deepen relations further

[Petteri Orpo @PetteriOrpo]

EU–Australia-vapaakauppasopimus on erinomainen uutinen haastavassa ajassa. Suomelle se voi tuoda kriittisiä raaka-aineita, uusia puolustustilauksia ja helpomman tien elintarvikevientiin. Vähemmän tulleja, enemmän suomalaista osaamista maailmalle.

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

Trade has an important role to play in addressing climate change - for instance, by promoting clean technologies as well as by boosting trade in critical minerals.

A powerful start for @EIF4LDCs Phase Three at @wto #WTOMC14.

#LDC driven priorities, catalytic partnerships and shared ambition set a strong foundation for the years ahead. 🇫🇮 remains committed to advancing inclusive, resilient and sustainable trade.

At the @wto #MC14, the EU reaffirms its support for Ukraine through trade. The revised DCFTA, Priority Action Plan, the Roam-like-at-home membership are all strengthening economic integration, while supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and resilience.

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

Pleased to be at #MC14 in Cameroon - seen as a @wto reform ministerial. Coordination is crucial so we kicked off with a meeting of EU Member States. The EU's vision is ambitious and reflects today's pressing challenges.

[Finland in Geneva 🇫🇮 @FinlandGeneva]

Live from #WTOMC14: 🇫🇮 Undersecretary Jarno Syrjälä joins @NOIweala and #LDCs leaders to advance a renewed, country led Phase Three. Finland’s €2.5M early support helps launch it, building on nearly €30M in longterm support for LDC driven trade. #EIFPhaseThree @EIF4LDCs @wto

I highly recommend The Triangle of Power by @alexstubb , one of the great strategic thinkers and statesmen of our time.

Yesterday, Uruguay and Argentina became the first Mercosur countries to ratify the Agreement.

When they are ready, we are ready ↓ https://t.co/pJlaknyXDk

[Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic]

Proud to see the EU-@mercosur agreement moving into provisional application.

Key for 🇪🇺 businesses to seize new opportunities.
Key for the strength of rules-based trade.
Key for our credibility as a reliable partner.

We continue to work closely with @EUCouncil and @Europarl_EN.

🇪🇺 Lisää huonoja uutisia kauppapolitiikasta ❗️

🆘 Parlamentti lykkää Mercosur-diiliä, jonka voimaantulo viivästyy, ehkä jopa kaatuu kokonaan…⛔️

Minusta surkea uutinen EU:lle ja Suomelle, jotka kaipaavat kumppaneita ja kasvua maailmalta

Hat tip to Finnish President @alexstubb for spitting facts about how Europe, and Finland, are perfectly capable of defending themselves independently.

MAGA mythology says Europe collapses without the US.
Finland, one of Europe’s most prepared and capable militaries, proves otherwise. 🇪🇺🇫🇮👊
