@alanbeattie @FT As for the anti-coercion istrument which we reported could be used....

Eine spannende Analyse von @JanosAllAmm

I've seen many press conferences held by the rotating EU Presidency but today was the first time that a minister representing the EU Presidency on the podium has presented only his government's point of view. This is what 🇭🇺FM Szijjártó did in the #FAC Trade @EUCouncil @HU24EU

Die Barmherzigkeit des Papstes „gilt vor allem der Hamas.“ Deutscher Qualitätsjournalismus mal wieder am Limit 😵‍💫

Likely raped to death. A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics. Likely raped to death. The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

@PaoloGentiloni So, what’s the EU’s policy recommendation for member states? Thanks to the (new, supposedly better) EU fiscal rules, the answer is: Fiscal consolidation! Self-defeating madness.

@PaoloGentiloni According to the Commission, the EU’s problems are weak internal demand, falling private investment (partly due to insecurity over demand), big risks for external demand (trade war), and the risk that member states’ fiscal consolidation would negatively impact growth.

Listening to @PaoloGentiloni present the growth forecast this morning was to witness the deep contradictions that run through EU economic policy and that cripple the EU economy.

🇩🇪 loves "schwarze Null" @SVR_Wirtschaft

Politicians have to learn how to ban stuff again.

Nach der heutigen Kehrtwendung von Friedrich Merz zum Thema #Schuldenbremse würde ich meinen, dass mein Tweet aus dem Januar 2024 seine Aktualität nicht verloren hat.

We are headed for zero-sum economics under Trump. The US will be able to weaponise its exorbitant privilege - avoiding the usual cost of populist policies, at least for a good while. Europe will pay a price. Find our @CER_EU scenario analysis here. cer.eu/insights/can-e…

Striking how since 2018 pharmaceuticals have been the fastest rising share of European exports to the US. Trans-Atlantic commerce as a giant Ozempic for LNG trade.

@SanderTordoir Well, it seems you have missed out the part about the « simplification revolution » !

Here is the empty statement from EU Leaders on the challenges they face. They haven’t lost their sense of humour, saying: “Business-as-usual is not an option” and then doing precisely that. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…

If Merz is going to atte.ot to relaunch TTIP literally at the same time Trump takes office, then I... salute his creativity.

So, Lindner has left the German government, but he left it bound by EU fiscal rules, that are covered in his ideological fingerprints and that will make it very hard for the German gov to get out of this economic mess in a fiscal-rules-compatible way.

@JanosAllAmm Sicher ist nur, dass die Schweiz dann noch existiert

The EU is the most ridiculous form of governance.
