RT @TheProgressives: Ukrainians are fighting for European values too!
We welcome the swift opinion from @EU_Commission on candidate status regarding Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia.
The enlargement process, when done properly and based on merit, is a motor for democracy, peace and prosperity!

RT @_AnabelG: 📣June 17. Results day at @wto #MC12:
➡️ WTO reform mandate
➡️ Response to pandemic & COVID-19 waiver
➡️ Food insecurity
➡️ Extension of e-com moratorium
➡️ Fisheries subsidies agmt
& more
A good day for multilateral trade cooperation. Thnx to members, @NOIweala & secretariat 🙂
Going forward we should seriously consider annual ministerial meetings. The multilateral system needs to deliver much more in a rapidly changing world.
Jubilant mood! MC12 managed to deliver despite very difficult geopolitical circumstances. Need to look at package in detail, but relieved the system has survived and we are on a path to reform. Congratulations to @NOIweala. You did it while many others had already lost hope.
RT @Roosdorp: On this day in 2016 a deal on responsible mining of #conflictminerals was reached under the 🇳🇱 Presidency of the 🇪🇺 Council
A major step in responsible trade🛡

RT @MarosSefcovic: The @EU_Commission has been withholding legal action over the last year because we wanted to create a constructive atmosphere to find solutions. The UK government's decision has left us with no choice but to act.

Right&important signal after the affront&once again unilateral action of British government.The message:International law cannot be broken simply according to mood. You have to play by the rules. And if the bill doesn't come off the table appropriate countermeasures must follow
RT @EU_Commission: Acting unilaterally is not constructive. Violating international agreements is not acceptable.
We have today launched infringement procee…
And yet #EU also remains true to previous constructive line:Updated proposals of the @EU_Commission
for pragmatic solutions to problems in #NorthernIreland WITHIN the existing treaties.But I doubt that #BorisJohnson is interested in common solution. It's only about the blame game
Und trotzdem bleibt #EU auch bisheriger konstruktiver Linie treu:Aktualisierte Vorschläge der @EU_Commission für pragmatische Lösungen der Probleme in #Nordirland INNERHALB der bestehenden Verträge.Bezweifle aber dass #BorisJohnson wirklich an gemeinsamer Lösung interessiert ist
Richtiges&wichtiges Signal nach dem x-ten Affront und Alleingang der britischen Regierung.Die Botschaft:Internationales Recht kann nicht einfach so nach Stimmungslage gebrochen werden. Und wenn das geplante Gesetz nicht vom Tisch kommt müssen maßgerechte Gegenmaßnahmen folgen
RT @SPIEGEL_EIL: Großbritannien und die #EU streiten seit dem #Brexit um Zollvorschriften in #Nordirland. Nun hat die EU-Kommission ein Verfahren gegen London …
We really need an outcome on food security at #MC12. In doing so we should draw lessons from covid vaccines: export restrictions lead to major coordination issues and in the end the world as a whole is worse off. In addition, such measures discourage farmers to produce more.
RT @IFPRI: The growing food crisis takes center stage at the @wto #MC12 this week. 💬
@JoeGlauber1, David Laborde, @aalmamun_913, Elsa Olivetti, and @v_pineiro …
24 June = crunch time. We need to prepare coordinated plans for withdrawal as it seems very likely that our reform goals will not be achieved. Serious roadblock to climate leadership should be removed. #ECT
