Come for the shirts. Stay for (another!) important trade deal secured as the EU looks to 'double-down' on diversification. This time with Indonesia.

🇪🇺🤝🇮🇩 Today's successful conclusion of trade and investment negotiations opens an exciting new chapter. With over 98% of tariffs to be eliminated, growth across key sectors is set to accelerate. EU exports to Indonesia alone could rise by nearly 30%. 👉 link.europa.eu/vdPwdy

I repeat: Nothing justifies the atrocious October 7 terror attacks by Hamas. And nothing justifies the collective punishment of the Palestinian people. We need a permanent ceasefire, now. The unconditional release of all hostages, now. And the free flow of humanitarian aid, now.

👑The Three Kings have come! The third time in one month bearded men have entered my flat leaving gifts. St. Nicolas, Father Christmas, and now els Reis. Added to the famous Catalan pooping log (look it up). British/Belgian/Catalan Christmas is the gift that keeps on giving.

🤚Raise your hand if you’re watching @HennaVirkkunen’s hearing at the @Europarl_EN. 🧐 Will she become the next EU Commissioner for #digital? 🔴 If you can’t watch, no worries: we’ll be sharing LIVE key bits & bytes from her exchange with MEPs 👇🧵

A shock. And a call to action. The American people have spoken and @realDonaldTrump will almost certainly return to the @WhiteHouse. We've been here before, so we have a taste of what will happen now. In the next four years we hope that President Trump chooses the path of cooperation, not conflict, with the US’s closest partners and friends. Just as in 2016 to 2020, 🇪🇺 and 🇺🇸 businesses and citizens will continue to be the bridge between our continents. It is in our mutual interest to stay one step ahead - together - on dual use and critical technologies like #AI and #cyber. We should create a new 'Critical and Dual Use Technology Council' and win this race this together. I'm sure there will be much reflection in Europe in the days and weeks ahead, but one thing I know for sure: the transatlantic digital business community at @DIGITALEUROPE stands united, and our cooperation will be crucial in the years ahead.

The @Europarl_EN in Strasbourg opens its doors to 720 newly elected MEPs today, ushering in a new era for Europe. With #competitiveness shaping up to be the word of the year for the EU, I break down 3 key reasons why it should be the top priority for this new EU cycle. Give it a watch, and let me know what you think!

Enjoyed the panel, thanks Bruegel! And had a very Brussels moment when I was asked about an obscure piece of telecoms legislation from 1999 by someone in the audience who knew A LOT about it. Turns out he’s a former commissioner who wrote the thing
