A turning point for 🇪🇺 and 🇮🇩.
We’ve finalised negotiations on a free trade agreement that will open a market for EU exports of 280 million people with:
📦 Simplified export of EU goods, including cars and agri-food products
💻 More market access for EU services sector, including IT
🚗 New opportunities for EU companies in electric vehicles, electronics and pharmaceuticals
🔒 Stronger intellectual property protection
Our ambition is to diversify our partnerships, like MERCOSUR.
We're delivering.
@EUCommission EU definitely needs new markets to export to. I'm just concerned about "stronger intellectual property protection". The article only mentions trademarks and anti-counterfeiting protections, which is good. However this sort of language is often used as an euphemism for making copyright and patent laws worse.
BTW if someone is wondering what do we import, article mentions raw materials, plants, and regional food. Some agricultural imports will be banned, some will have quotas.
