Renew Europe’s Post

Renew Europe welcomes the announcement of the EU–Indonesia trade agreement, a major step forward for Europe’s global trade agenda. The deal will reduce tariffs, strengthen supply chains and open new opportunities for European businesses, while securing access to critical raw materials. Renew Europe MEP Bart Groothuis, spokesperson on EU–Indonesia trade, reacted: "The new EU–Indonesia trade agreement is a significant breakthrough: it will greatly reduce tariffs, save European exporters around 600 million euros a year, and open a fast-growing market while securing access to critical raw materials like cobalt, copper and tin." MEP Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, Renew Europe coordinator for the Committee on International Trade, emphasised: "By concluding an agreement with Indonesia today, Europe is reaffirming its choice of cooperation over coercion, contrary to what some would like to impose. This strategic partnership, based on mutual commitments, illustrates once again that it is possible to combine influence and respect, despite the demands that this entails."
