The 37,000 medtech companies –90% SMEs– are vital contributors to our healthcare systems & economy. Meeting with medtech SMEs in Tuttlingen made it clear: there is urgent need for a fit-for-purpose regulatory framework to lower costs, reduce admin burden & provide predictability.

🇪🇺🤝🇸🇬 Signed and sealed. Digital trade is no longer a niche. It's central to global commerce and a driver of economic growth.   The EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement - the EU's first - puts our partnership firmly in line with modern trade realities. europa.eu/!cwjbn8

#tradeXpresso: the fact of the day for our CETA Regulatory Cooperation Forum: CETA “created” almost 7000 new, additional EU exporters to Canada, out of which around 5800 were SMEs. Background analysis: uclm.es/-/media/Files/…

#tradeXpresso: the first day of our CETA Regulatory Forum is now over! The “grand finale” was a debrief session with a record number of stakeholders! With my thanks to all participants, our RCF secretariat, and co-chairs for all the great work!

The sheer scale of the 🇪🇺🇺🇸 relationship makes our talks unlike any other. So, whatever we sign off on should fix the current situation but also lay the groundwork for long-term benefits. Speaking after today's meeting with EU Trade Ministers 👉📝 europa.eu/!3qgfFd.

#tradeXpresso: I am launching a new acronym: #PBI - the price of beer index. And for this I need your help and participation. How much would you pay in your town for this beer?

This is a great start! But, to do a proper job for the new #PriceOfBeerIndex, I am planning an extensive first-hand, cross-country data collection!

Chart du jour: when it comes to US tariffs, nobody really knows anything (for sure). But this is how US tariffs could look like if today's US Court of International Trade ruling will roll back tariffs prior to the Liberation Day. Source: Based on the IMF-WTO Tariff Tracker.
