The European Union, by concluding Sunday (27 July), was able to avoid the US trade war with the US and the possible loss of hundreds of thousands or millions of jobs in Europe. This was stated on Monday by the European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maroš Šefčovič during the meeting with journalists.
When asked how the EU countries perceive most of its goods (except for agreed exceptions) they will export to the US after a 15-century clearance, while on the other hand it will be zero imports from the United States to Europe, Šefčovič stressed that this is “the best agreement that we could have achieved under these uneven conditions”.
He recalled that negotiations in Scotland started by starting that from August 1 it would be 30 percentAnd he appreciated that the head of the European Commission Ursula von Der Leyen led the negotiations to give birth to a final agreement to save jobs in the EU and opens a new chapter of US and EU relations.
He added that the agreement should not be perceived not only from the point of view of trade, but also from the current deteriorating geopolitical situation, and both sides found a match in most things in terms of common calls, which he believes is the added value of the trade agreement. “Now things can only improve and we can solve all the problems that have accumulated on the table over the last years”He said.
