What lessons have been drawn by the EU from the CETA and TTIP trade negotiations? Johan Adriaensen argues that the trade package contained in Jean-Claude Juncker’s State of the Union speech presented a coherent vision for how EU trade negotiations could move forward, with avenues for discontent at future agreements to be channelled through representative institutions. However, implementing these ideas will be far from straightforward, and it is unclear whether the EU will be able to prevent the kind of opposition to future trade agreements that it experienced in both the CETA and TTIP cases.
Katainen and Tusk urge the Trump administration to abandon his trade policy plans, showing own leverage in trade politics in order to increase pressure
It has become clear, if it wasn’t before, that there is a fundamental choice between pursuing progressive policies and a hard Brexit. Rather than enabling Corbyn’s Britain – the regulations, state aid and nationalisation desired by many on the Left – a hard Brexit could derail these visions.

Trumps Serie von Drohungen diese Woche war ein Doppelschlag. Erstens drohte er damit, nationale Sicherheitszölle auf Stahl und Aluminium zu erheben, vor allem gegen Kanada und Mexiko (zusammen mit Korea und Japan).

Der EuGH entschied in seinem Achmea-Urteil, dass Investitionsschutzabkommen zwischen EU-Staaten mit dem EU-Recht unvereinbar sei. Achmea ist ein deutliches Indiz dafür, dass auch die Investitionsschutz-Vereinbarungen in CETA problematisch für die Autonomie des EU-Rechts sind.

According to a leaked document, trade ministers from 14 EU member states wrote last week to incoming European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, urging him not to jettison “difficult issues” like the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism from the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in the face of public opposition – “tempting as it may be” – and reminding him that he has a mandate from EU member states to include some form of ISDS in the trade negotiations with Washington.

The Transatlantic Agreement on Trade and Services between the EU and the US, is one of the biggest challenges for our continent and civil society.

Waiting in the wings, and still being negotiated largely in secret is the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The agreement, between the U.S. and the 28-nation European Union, has been formally discussed through 12 rounds of negotiations, with another round scheduled for some time this month. Both sides would like to conclude this treaty by the end of 2016.

In the past, it was easy to make the case for free trade. Free trade agreements seemed to create opportunities, help millions out of poverty, and generate growth. Today, a growing number of Europeans and Americans believe that the opposite is true. The article points out in how far TTIP should be rethought and redesigned to regain the public trust.
Germany’s highest court dismissed complaints on Thursday from opponents of a trade deal between Canada and the European Union, a legal effort that had the potential not only to torpedo the pact but also to imperil for a proposed agreement between Europe and the United States.
Friday's vote in Wallonia was only the latest sideways move as the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement lurches toward its intended signing date. As the EU's foreign and trade ministers prepare to decide its fate Tuesday, here's a guide to what remains unresolved.
