“Don’t throw the match onto the powder keg, because the blast of such a detonation would travel across the continent,” Agriculture Minister Annie Genevard told lawmakers.

Love seeing a story i helped put together go to press #prthoughts. An excellent read.

I love a good map and this is an excellent one.

As my T-shirt says "Young people. Go fight for a happy socialist Polish country side" ...... might be a bit out of date ....

Tusk will not want to upset the farmers who have major political sway in Poland. The Polish People’s Party (PSL), represent the interests of the country’s agricultural lobby, is big part of the four-party coalition government. #eutrade

Yesterday the EU escalated its dispute against Colombia at the WTO on frozen fries, saying Colombia didn’t comply with an earlier ruling faulting its anti-dumping duties on imports of frozen fries from Belgium, Netherlands & Germany. The WTO will form a panel to adjudicate the dispute. #Trade

An add would be great if possible. 😊

I've had the same conversations, with the need for business case studies to back it up. The fact is industry doesn't want to comment on a hypothetical situation, they want to consentrate on growth.

Hello, hope all is well Sam.

Building relationsips is key and the informal conversations are the start of that process.

Here's one to ponder on a Friday afternoon, it is always hard to explain to a client, that not every interview with will lead to column inches. Sometimes journalists want to get to know their sources and hear their insights before using them in a story. #prthoughts #pr

@cioeit.bsky.social comment on how the UK will position itself between the US and the EU as they take fundamentally divergent approaches to regulation in areas such as climate, carbon taxes and supply-chain monitoring. #breat #trump #tariffs #trade

#Brexit has already left the UK adrift between American and EU trade and regulatory regimes — reluctant to tack too far one way or the other. Some big decisions up ahead for the Labour government which will shape the UK’s trading relationships with the world.

It highlights how unaware of the new rules UK exporters are & of the need provide the EU importer with a detailed breakdown of the carbon content in their products. More needs to be done to education businesses on BTOM, CBAM, Deforestation Legislation and so on.

The EU Deforestation Regulation will force companies to police their supply chains for deforestation and human rights violations when placing coffee, cocoa, soy, palm oil, rubber, timber and cattle. Business, trade partners and some EU countries argue the new rules create too much red tape. #trade

The fate of the EU’s anti-deforestation rules remains uncertain after representatives from the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission failed on to agree on Parliament’s proposal to water down the rules. #Trade pro.politico.eu/news/189827

When you pick a pack of Freddo"s at late 90s early 2000s prices, 5 bars for 4 Zloty that's around 78p or 15.6p per bar. As an expat, this is a huge chocolate win. How much is a Freddo in the UK these day? #winning

Take the story to where your audience is, don't rely on them to find you in amongst all the noise. The reach of a publication is becoming less relevant while NYT or BBC looks great on a PR report, if your message doesn't reach your audience your not moving the dial. Totally agree with the above.

Companies who do stockpile will have to factor in warehousing and expediting freight as critical operational costs. Businesses are anticipating potential disruptions in Q1 and this will push up the price for consumers as these additonal charges and supply chain disruption mount up. #globaltrade

Or can we read it before they publish.....
