A little over two years ago EU sanctions for most of us in DG Trade were just part of the foreign policy black arts.
13 🇺🇦 sanction packets later how things have changed.
We’ve learnt and grown with 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇯🇵 🇨🇦🇨🇭 🇰🇷 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 #EUdelivers

NZ & the EU have a shared commitment to open and sustainable trade, climate action, and multilateralism. Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis and I spoke about the exciting opportunities the EU-NZ FTA brings for our businesses. Looking forward to growing our trade relationship! 🇳🇿🤝🇪🇺

Honoured to welcome Ukrainian MPs today & 🇺🇦 Ambassador Vasyl Myroshnychenko

A great day for NZ's onions growers with the tariff of 9.6% being removed for our largest market. This equated to $7mil on onions alone, an unnecessary cost. Well done and thanks to all those involved in securing this important trade agreement. Our onions are arriving now.

🇪🇺💚🇳🇿 LIVE TODAY! Our state-of-the-art trade deal with New Zealand is now reality.

From agreement to entry into force in less than 2 years!

It will deliver real benefits for our workers, businesses, farmers and the environment.

The 2004 enlargement was a defining moment for our Union.

One that transformed the societies and economies of new member states.

And made our Union stronger together.

Today, we unfurled our Union's flag, celebrating #20YearsTogether .

#EUNZFTA is live today!

Opportunities for European investment in NZ's key sectors+ immediate benefits for NZ kiwifruit, apples, and onions. 🌍

A big win for sustainability and economic growth! 🇪🇺🤝🇳🇿
