I updated @EP_Trade on negotiations for bilateral #EUTrade agreements.
Strong trade relations make us more resilient, especially given EU need to access critical raw materials. We should link to external sources of global growth to stay competitive.

We will continue to lead global efforts for a strong & reformed @WTO. Its rules base = our best defence against global economic fragmentation.
We need to make sure WTO Ministerial #MC13 in early 2024 builds on meaningful MC12 outcomes, including dispute settlement reform.

Tiekoties ar @VARAM_Latvija ministru @Sprindzuks pārrunājām Latvijas ekonomikas atveseļošanas un noturības plāna ieviešanu.
Mēs pārrunājām Eiropas Zaļā kursa ieviešanu un izaicinājumus Latvijai, kā arī priekšlikumus ekonomikas konkurētspējas stiprināšanai.

Ar @Jekaba11 Eiropas lietu komisijas vadītāju @AndrisSpruds pārrunājām ģeopolitiskās aktualitātes, tai skaitā atbalstu Ukrainai.
📍 Ņemot vērā pašreizējos ekonomikas izaicinājumus, Latvijai jāizmanto pieejamais ES finansējums, lai stiprinātu ekonomikas konkurētspēju.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Eiropas Savienība atbalsta Ukrainu ar visu nepieciešamo, lai tā spētu uzvarēt šo karu.
Tas ietver arī ārkārtas finanšu atbalstu, šogad esam tam paredzējuši 18 miljardus eiro 👉🏻otro maksājumu 1,5 miljardu eiro apmērā plānots izmaksāt nākošajā nedēļā.

We are already working on #CriticalRawMaterials partnerships, via:
✅current/future FTA deals
✅other targeted arrangements
✅CRM club
Any global partner who works with 🇪🇺will reap the benefits of investing in the economies of the future.

It makes sense to scale up our own EU critical raw materials capacity.
But even at full tilt, our own capacity will never be enough.
🌍 We must therefore deploy our strength as the world's No. 1 trader, building relationships based on trust, mutual gain & clear rules.

#CriticalRawMaterials are vital for EU competitiveness.
🇪🇺 needs reliable access to CRMs to drive the green/digital transitions & lead industries of the future. But we have too few resources at home & too many risks at global level.
We need to act - so what's the plan?

RT @VDombrovskis: The #ECOFIN converged on many key elements for revising EU #fiscal rules:
➡️making sure debt is sustainable
➡️more country ownership

This is solid input for @EU_Commission to work with Member States on some remaining issues & draw up legal proposals.
