The Internet is global, but regulations are not. Measures restricting cross-border data flows are increasing, especially in non-OECD countries.

How can governments ensure the free movement of data while addressing these challenges? 👇

"The cumulative regulatory burden is a big problem, not least for small and medium-sized companies.

It’s important that we check how proposed EU legislation affects regulatory costs, international competitiveness and innovation capacity."

— @JohanForssell at EU #COMPET Council

We welcome the relaunch of EU-Thailand trade deal talks! @Trade_EU

[EU Trade 🇪🇺 @Trade_EU]

🇪🇺🇹🇭 The relaunch of EU-Thailand trade deal talks starts today.

The EU is Thailand’s 4th largest trade partner and the 3rd largest investor in the country.

A modern, dynamic trade agreement would benefit both sides & strengthen and diversify EU trade ties with Indo-Pacific.

Dynamic discussions on #competitiveness during the informal ministerial meeting on consumer affairs and industry and internal market #COMPET taking place in Bilbao under #EU2023ES 🇪🇺

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

We are building bridges across our two continents.

The #EUCELAC Summit marks a new chapter of our friendship, shaping an investment agenda that benefits both sides of the Atlantic.

Together, we'll unlock the full potential of our partnership, not just in trade, but in thriving together.

WTO agreement on harmful fisheries subsidies shows that WTO can deliver multilateral trade rules, and that WTO can address today’s global sustainability challenges. We call on WTO members to complete their ratification of the Agreement so it can enter into force by MC13. #WTO

[EU Mission to WTO @EUmissionWTO]

Today @IISD_news, @WWF_Deutschland and @PewResearch paid us a visit to congratulate the 🇪🇺 and its Member States on the ratification of the 🐟#FisheriesSubsidies Agreement. So proud that the EU was among the first to ratify this agreement!

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

The EU-New Zealand trade deal was signed today, paving the way for its approval by the EU Parliament and ratification.

This landmark agreement could save EU businesses €140 million a year and boost EU investment in NZ by 80%.

It will bring us even closer together.

International cooperation is critical to achieve greater clarity about how #subsidies are used - and to avoid the negative consequences of not working together, writes @_AnabelG in her latest blog post.
