Butifldrm Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 The European Union agrees to launch negotiations with Washington to avoid a trade war Print E-mail Nour News / Economic The European Union agreed on Monday to launch trade negotiations with the United States to avoid a trade war with Washington despite Paris's refusal to negotiate with an anti-climate partner. "If the Americans agree to start negotiations, I think we will be able to move forward very quickly," EU Trade Commissioner Sesilia Malmström, who is in charge of negotiating on behalf of the 28 EU countries, said. France voted against the launch of the negotiations at a conference of European ministers of agriculture in Luxembourg, but it had no effect, because decisions in the EU trade are taken by the majority described, according to several European sources and AFP. The vote dealt with the mandate of the European Commission mandated to negotiate on behalf of the Union. He described Paris' position as "incomprehensible" because its partners agreed to all its requests for authorization, including the abandonment of the controversial draft of the transatlantic trade and investment partnership, which was frozen in 2016, as well as an assessment of the consequences of differences in environmental legislation between the United States and the European Union And the possibility of protecting some fishing products, according to one source. France has decided to vote against negotiations with Washington for initial reasons because President Emmanuel Macaron does not want to negotiate a trade deal with a country that decided in June 2017 to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, despite US approval with 194 countries in December 2015, According to a French source described this position as "very political." The European Commission intends to begin negotiations with Washington "as soon as possible," according to Cecilia Malmstrom, with the hope of reaching an agreement before the end of the mandate of this body on 31 October 2019. "We will call them today to see when we can meet together, I can not predict any date, the decision is in their hands, we are ready," the European negotiator said.

6ly410 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 UK announces £1 billion increase in trade support for Iraq, Kurdistan Kurdistan 24 | 54 minutes ago UK Secretary of State for International Trade Liam Fox (left) speaks with Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, April 15, 2019. (Photo: Iraqi Prime Minister's Office) Iraq Kurdistan UK Britian England A+AA- ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – While a top British trade official visited Baghdad to meet with both the Iraqi prime minister and president, the United Kingdom announced a £1 billion (just under $1.3 billion) increase in trade support focused on increasing public services to Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. Secretary of State for International Trade Liam Fox arrived with a delegation in the Iraqi capital on Sunday to finalize the deal to expand “support available for British firms operating in Iraq, providing jobs and promoting stability in the region,” a statement the UK government released on Tuesday read. The measure is designed to “promote Iraq’s economic development and nation-building” and ensure the UK trade office “can continue to help the Government of Iraq deliver critical infrastructure.” Fox formally announced the deal, which brings the total pledged UK trade support for the country to £2 billion (over $2.5 billion), to local media while next to Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi on Tuesday. After a separate meeting with the UK official, President Barham Salih announced that the two “reviewed the relations between Iraq and Britain, notably in the fields of trade and economy, as well as the need to expand these ties in a way that serves the interest of the two countries and achieves the aspirations of the two friendly peoples.” According to the UK statement, the deal includes a $35 million loan for a water and wastewater treatment project in the Kurdistan Region, $1.02 billion to support foreign companies to build two new gas-fired power stations in Basra and to build or refurbish 14 electricity sub-stations across Iraq, plus boosts to several other electricity-based projects. The deal is a welcome one in a country that has seen thousands protesting across several provinces in the past year, sparked primarily by poor public services provided by a government charged with extreme and chronic institutional corruption. “The atmosphere in Baghdad is one of optimism – it is a country which is having an increasingly stable period at a time of significant unrest in the wider region,” Fox said. “The British government, working closely with the UK private sector and our Iraqi partners, have a key role to play in the country’s long-term prosperity,” he added. “The £1 billion we have announced today will significantly strengthen our ability to do just that.” Fox noted that “trade is about more than economic self-interest,” adding it includes “the means through which we deliver the mutual prosperity that underpins our collective security.” “That is the true prize of trade policy and promotion done right.” http://www.kurdistan24.net/en/news/72182674-5e24-456a-af69-27c6f6853fd4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
