🌳 EUDR and Traceability - Live webinar on Thursday, September 26 at 3 PM 🖥️ The EUDR (European Regulation Against Deforestation and Forest Degradation) creates several challenges to overcome, both ecological and administrative, for all those involved in European supply chains. To meet these new requirements effectively, it is crucial to fully understand them and know how to respond step by step.

A great way to share knowledge and ways forward in this global shift.

Government response to Non-Tariff Barriers to Trade Perspectives. In December 2023, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on International Trade (CIIT) published a report titled “Non-tariff Barriers to Trade: Some Canadian Perspectives.” The report identified barriers to trade for specific industries and business communities, and put forward a number of recommendations to remove non-tariff trade barriers in free tree agreement negotiations, including by: Removing non-tariff barriers that particularly affect small- and medium-sized businesses; Ensuring that dispute resolution mechanisms exist in agreements and are actually enforced; Harmonizing regulations, in particular for hard-hit industries such as agriculture and automotive; Monitoring imports of food imports at the border to ensure reciprocity of standards exists and is not only a theoretical objective; Preserving Canada’s right to legislate for the common good. #barrrierstotrade #tariffs #agriculture #automotive #foodimports https://lnkd.in/gh7wzYQn

Looking forward to hosting this #webinar on #globaltrade oportunities and challenges in the #foodanddrink sector next week, featuring experts from The Food and Drink Federation, Associated British Foods plc, The International Meat Trade Association and SamosaCo. With #BTOM (Border Target Operating Model) changes on the way, as well as ongoing #supplychain disruption due to #shipping crises in the #RedSea and #PanamaCanal, it's an important time to be running this webinar. I suspect #supplychainresilience will be a key theme, as well as ensuring businesses on both sides of the Channel are ready for new #import rules on goods entering Britain.

Proud to announce that CropLife Europe is a signatory of the Open Trade Coalition Declaration, along with 30 other #EU trade associations. As part of this coalition, we advocate for a robust EU #trade policy that champions #openness and enhances #market access. This is essential for boosting exports, fostering economic growth, and creating job opportunities. 🤞 Did you know that the EU #agrifood trade is valued at €386 billion annually, with up to 40 % of the high-value and quality exports relying on imports of raw materials ? We are talking about your favourite espressos or chocolate bars 😀 The key message is that trade benefits everyone, including #SMEs and small-scale farmers, by providing market opportunities, boosting income, and enhancing contributions to food security. 🗂 Our commitment is to support EU farmers and businesses by pursuing an ambitious Free Trade Agreement agenda and promoting policies that ensure fair and competitive trade practices. *#Policy* #EUAffairs *#Competitiveness* *#FTA*

🌍 Save a Pyrrhic victory on e-commerce and a plurilateral agreement on domestic services, six takeaways from World Trade Organization #MC13. 1️⃣ WTO's Resilience: Despite challenges, the WTO stands firm. Its foundational rules, built over 75 years, remain pivotal in global trade, ensuring stability and preventing chaos in international tariffs. 2️⃣ Plurilateral Negotiations: Plurilateral talks emerge as a key strategy, especially evident in the 90-member e-commerce negotiations, spotlighting a collaborative path forward in a fragmented trade environment. 3️⃣ Dispute Settlement Transformation: Anticipate a revamped dispute resolution system, focusing on mediation and arbitration, moving away from a court-like Appellate Body to a more streamlined mechanism. 4️⃣ Growing WTO Membership: With Comoros and Timor-Leste joining, the WTO's family expands to 166. The queue of 22 aspiring members underscores the continued appeal of WTO affiliation. 5️⃣ Unaddressed Systemic Issues: Significant topics like national security exemptions remain on the table, reflecting the intricate balance between trade rules and global security concerns. 6️⃣ Leadership Outlook: Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's term nears its end in 2025. With the political landscape shifting, her reappointment hangs in the balance, influenced by member countries' perspectives on her leadership approach. The road ahead for the WTO is paved with cautious optimism and strategic adaptability. #WTO #GlobalTrade #Ecommerce #TradePolicy https://lnkd.in/eyRBEHKp
