Read this spot-on and nuanced commentary by John Clark (former EC agri trade negotiator) on the pitfalls and opportunities facing EU trade policy, and the complexities of internationalizing the Green Deal. The "spasm of trade scepticism" that characterizes the bloc today must be overcome, if the EU is to pursue its agenda and create win-win trade relationships.

Some EU trade decisions are starting to be challenged — even by member states. A case in point is Ukraine, benefitting from the suspension of import duties, quotas and trade protection measures, against the objections of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia.

New post by Jonathan McHale discussing the problems with the #USTR stepping back from a leadership role in advancing #DigitalTrade. As the World Trade Organization’s (WTO’s) 13th biennial Ministerial conference approaches, many of the world’s eyes will be on the United States, seeking to discern the outlines of a coherent trade policy. They are likely to be disappointed. In the Biden Administration’s short time left to accomplish anything substantive in terms of new rules, a legacy of failed efforts weighs heavily: failure to advance trade rules in the signature regional forum, the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF); and failure to advance digital rules among a plurilateral group of like-minded countries in the WTO, two modest initiatives that at least promised substantive outcomes. The result is a trade policy in disarray, tired slogans barely hiding the lack of an affirmative, outward-looking agenda.  https://lnkd.in/emRtmawk
