1st, in the multilateral arena: EU is leading from the front. With other @wto members, we sponsored 3 initiatives committing to do more on: ✅trade & sustainability ✅Cutting Reducing plastics pollution ✅reforming fossil fuel subsidies. | |

2nd, in bilateral trade deals, we work with partners to promote trade & sustainable development (TSD). | |

But we want to do more. So we are reviewing our TSD approach to see how to make it even stronger. We are assessing all options, including ways to beef up enforcement. Our trade deals provide leverage to work WITH our partners for positive change. (4/6) | |
