French journalist reporting on EU view of the big show around Chinese aid to Europe: 'when we sent help to them [EU sent 56 tonnes of medical equipment], they asked us to make it discreet, they didn't want to lose face'
Again, the issue isn't that the EU hasn't been sufficiently generous in this pandemic. The problem is that China's propaganda operation is much better
Lesson for Europe is that next time China asks for help, make sure the world knows because the Chinese government isn't going to play fair

What we will get is sovereignty in theory but not in practice. The 'choice' of adopting EU laws will be whether we want our own businesses shut out from their main market - no real choice at all.
In the EU we had our representatives and officials writing the content of EU laws and voting on approving them. Outside the EU, we will only be able to choose whether we can bear the costs of not signing up.
The biggest myth around is that pro-Europeans don't want control and sovereignty. We do. We just recognise that the EU isn't going anywhere any time soon and believe that there is no substitute for actual political representation.

I've been thinking this evening about how we approach campaigning for Europe and I think we need a shift in strategy - a shift from gratitude to pride. Let's take a look /1
The common theme of most past pro-EU campaigns, whatever form they've taken, has been to try and explain to people how the EU has benefited them, their region, their country etc. /2
It's very much been a 'what has the EU done for us' approach. And while this has its merits, I think we're running out of steam and we can't go much further with this approach alone /3

This thread is a weird argument that only really works because it decontextualises our situation. There is an issue that tariff levels would be set outside of our control but that's the fault of Brexit, not the result of a CU being bad.
Within the EU we have always had representation and have regularly deployed it to influence EU tariff rates.

Losing that is a problem (caused by Brexit) but most business groups in the UK actually consider that losing the benefits of the CU will be even worse.
Brexit is forcing businesses to choose between greater control over tariff rates and seamless trade with the EU - most prefer maintaining the trading relationship with the rest of Europe.

three major developments over the past day demonstrate how #Europe seeks to shape the global #Internet. if you only focus on US reg, dominated by politics & not law, you’re missing a major part of the action.
first: yesterday the European Ct of Justice held hearings on #France’s push to globalize the right to be forgotten politico.eu/article/google…

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
