Trade is not only about closing deals, but also about keeping track of the commitments we make with our trading partners. And if there are unjustified barriers, we are stepping up our game. #AssertiveEU #EUTrade

#BBNJ Treaty is a major treasure and the Pacific a major supporter. #TeamEurope is therefore announcing funding at #PIFLM52 for @PacOceanComm to support Commissioner Dr Filimon Manoni and OPOC as they will accompany Pacific partners on ratification and implementation.
