Hi 👋🏼! If I'm a bit quiet on here lately it's cos I'm spending too much time reading up on US' #InflationReductionAct (and the likes) to understand impact EU industry (I know, fun). Anyway, can someone please help me understand what an adviser to President Macron said.. 1/2
... when he/she said: "Macron is hoping to secure exemptions for certain EU industries" from IRA during his state visit to Washington tomorrow "like those Canada and Mexico benefit from". Help please? Thx 2/2
(Thank you to the kind souls who have already come to my rescue in PM).
Ok, I think he meant what @alanbeattie - who if you already don't know, is the v best on all things trade - wrote in Nov : "Biden administration is still considering EU’s request that cars assembled in Europe become eligible for the credits in the IRA". ft.com/content/6489d9…

Bon, je sais que j'habite en 🇫🇷 depuis 2 ans mais je ne comprends pas le sens de cette phrase d'un conseiller du Président: "nous pouvons imaginer que l'administration américaine consente des exemptions pour 1 certain nombre d'industries 🇪🇺" de l'#InflationReductionAct. Help plz?

Et si je suis plutôt calme sur ce réseau depuis un petit moment, c'est parce que je passe trop de temps à étudier des lois américaines et à comprendre les répercussions sur l'industrie européenne 🤪

France and the UK want to work more closely together and host a 🇫🇷🇬🇧 summit next year. My take on why @trussliz & @EmmanuelMacron are right to do this now (+ thread): institutmontaigne.org/en/analysis/wh…
1. First, it wd be strategic: France and UK are the 2 largest military and nuclear powers in Europe, with diplomatic operations to match. People-to-people ties are considerable. They share many of the same instincts. More unites them than divides them - on paper at least.
2. Second, it wd be political: Macron gains an ally on European defence and nuclear energy. Truss, who is proud to have been loyal to Boris Johnson until the bitter end, can complete what he never managed to achieve: a new chapter in the Franco-British relationship.

Reading through the speech, that does *not* appear to be what Macron is saying though? Instead: 1/6
- Russia: must do everything to support Ukraine & make sure Russia doesn’t win. Must fight war crimes & cut Russia’s access to funds. 2/6
- Russia(bis): Only Ukraine can decide if and when it is ready to negotiate peace (and only Ukraine can decide what terms are acceptable). When peace comes to the continent, there must be no humiliation. 3/6

Macron says EU enlargement process can take decades. Is he right? Yes. But isn't he actually trying to frustrate enlargement process? No, he isn't. This is why. Short thread.
1. No way to #fasttrack EU membership: you can accelerate process of designating a third country a "candidate" country, you can even accelerate aspects of the negotiations. But you cannot fast-track EU membership as a whole.
2. Why? Because EU enlargement is complex. It's not just about political will. I wrote about it here (institutmontaigne.org/en/blog/making…) & tweeted steps here:

.@EmmanuelMacron takes the floor. He says he has good and bad news. The bad news is that he is going to give a speech (*I suspect this means longer than 10 minutes...). Good news is that he won't repeat what has been said in previous speeches.
[I won't be live-tweeting everything he says; I've done that before and I honestly thought he'd never stop talking. Will only tweet key bits]
1. Macron says that the conference on the Future of Europe (#CoFoE) shows that citizens want a stronger and more sovereign Europe.

THE WAIT IS OVER: @EmmanuelMacron is re-elected President of France with 58% of the vote.
Reminder to my international friends 👋🏼: Macron is *not* 1st president to be re-elected in the Vth Republic - but 2nd re-elected outside of cohabitation (i.e since reforms in the early 2000s which reduced mandate from 7 to 5 yrs + presidential & legislative now happen in same yr)
First being de Gaulle (merci @nicolas_veron pour la correction !).
