Good lunch & discussion in the European Parliament today w/ @berndlange @anna_cavazzini @bueti @miapetrakumpula @BarryAndrewsMEP @profMarekBelka @gabischoff @delarabur @Schuster_MdEP @karstenlucke
Die britische Regierung legt die Axt an die vertraglichen Grundlagen der Zusammenarbeit. Wenn UK-Gesetze wirklich das NI Protokoll angreifen, wird die EU Gegenmaßnahmen ergreifen. Die EU ist offen für alle praktischen Fortschritte zur Lösung von Problemen in Nordirland. #Brexit
RT @TheProgressives: More Europeans than ever are open about being LGBT, but for too many harassment and discrimination are everyday realities.
This is an emergency that the EU must tackle with effective laws, putting an end to LGBT-phobia.
We stand with all LGBT people. Love will win 🤍
Only one day after #TTC @VDombrovskis and @vestager will debrief @EP_Trade on the meeting. Looking forward to the exchange at 16.45 today!
While supportive of #ECT modernisation, very unlikely we will achieve negotiation objectives. Treaty will remain obstacle to climate leadership. Together with @anna_cavazzini @pcanfin I urged Commission and Council to make coordinated plans for withdrawal. No time to lose.
RT @EP_Trade: Trade MEPs have endorsed the proposal @Trade_EU for a one-year suspension of all EU import duties on Ukrainian exports by 38 votes, with one vote against and three abstentions. Rapporteur: Sandra @kalniete Read the press release 👇

RT @TheProgressives: "I welcome the cooperation on sustainable supply chains and increasing respect for workers' rights in #TTC.
Set-up of a Transatlantic Trade & Labour Dialogue will help to make sure our trade relationship benefits workers, both in EU, US as well as globally.”

We need to enable Ukraine to trade with 🇪🇺 in order to stabilise its economic performance under these extremely difficult circumstances. Together with macro-financial assistance that had been approved by @EP_Trade earlier, it shows our commitment and solidarity with 🇺🇦.
Support for multilateralism and reform of the WTO at #TTC are to be particularly welcomed. Yet, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. So I hope that, despite very difficult circumstances, there will be some progress at #MC12. We need positive agenda, not block building. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

Heute durfte ich ein Grußwort auf dem SPD Unterbezirksparteitag Göttingen in Bovenden halten. Die vier SPD Landtagskandidaten bilden das Präsidium.
Heute mal etwas freie Zeit gefunden, Wetter optimal, so konnte ich die erste kleine Runde in diesem Jahr drehen.

RT @MarosSefcovic: The EU has worked tirelessly to propose creative and durable solutions.
With political will and genuine commitment, joint solutions to legitimate practical issues raised by people and businesses in Northern Ireland can be found within the Protocol.

Großbritannien lehnt weiterhin EU-Pläne für Änderungen des Nordirland-Protokolls ab. Falls die britische Regierung das Nordirland-Abkommen in Gänze infrage stellt und sich für Lösungen verschließt, sind wir bereit auch harte Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, wenn es notwendig ist.

RT @FernandoMdelaC: I just had the privilege to have a casual meeting in Berlin with @berndlange @SPDEuropa @TheProgressives, Chair of @EP_Trade. We talked about the urgency that the @EU_Commission uses all legal means available to eliminate child labor in @Trade_EU. #ZeroChildLabor
On 16 May @EP_Trade will discuss + vote on proposal to temporarily suspend custom tariffs for Ukranian products entering EU market and suspend collecting anti-dumping duties. Measures would certainly bring some relief to the Ukranian economy and are politically very relevant.

First wait and see.A lot of threats and announcements have already been made.But one thing is clear: would be a clear breach of the treaty and #EU will take countermeasures.Plans are ready. Responsibility for possible escalation lies with the government of #BorisJohnson #Brexit
