Some thoughts on the #EUTradeReview Annex on WTO reform that was released yesterday by @trade_eu. 🧵 bit.ly/2Ncrt4o
It reflects EU global governance leadership in action, quite clearly occupying large parts of the space the Trump administration has relinquished. 1/14

It's a sincere and pragmatic initiative aimed at tackling reform pressures that have built up since the collapse of the Doha Round until the demise of the AB, with an increasingly bold European signature. 2/14
Much of the document embeds already existing initiatives and work done on the ground into a coherent narrative with a clear vision for the future and purpose of the WTO. 3/14
The #EUTradeReview is out. Is it fit for purpose? What is good, what is not and what is missing? A quick thread to sort my thoughts. (1/13)
I like the beginning of it: #geoeconomics is making the #trade world riskier and reinforcing the rules base system is a good idea to create more stability. (That's also what I argue in my book on EU #trade strategy which you find here: voxeu.org/content/europe…) (2/13)
But then there is not much mentioning of geoeconomics in the text. Standard risk management plus technological regulatory cooperation isn't sufficient to counter these threats. There is too little thinking of aligning trade policy with foreign policy (3/13).
