„Mutter aller Deals“: Wie ein Handelsabkommen zwischen Indien und der EU einen 27-Billionen-Dollar-Markt schafft

👏👏👏
In the past 40 years, free trade has helped create worldwide prosperity and reduce global poverty. And while wealth is still heavily concentrated at the top, global income inequality has decreased over the last few decades, largely because incomes in poorer countries have grown faster than in rich ones.
So I’m generally pro–free trade, because the numbers keep suggesting it improves outcomes for a lot of people overall.

Edit: For those who downvoted.

does that deal include mobility?

Will more Indians come to the EU?

ps. thanks for the award!!!

It’s probably not the deal we wanted, but it’s the deal we need.

A reminder that India still has a very close military relationship with Russia. It buys Russian weapons, cooperates on military R&D and, since the war started, has massively increased its purchases of Russian oil and gas, helping sustain Russia’s economy during the war. Putin was in New Delhi last year and the relationship clearly remains strong.

I don’t have good feeling about this tbh.

I think this will fuck up already weakening support of EU by general masses. India is like red cloth for many people. Especially if they start losing jobs to cheaper options.

Also isn’t Putin their buddy

This is the power of the EU, incredible soft power and unlike america very few hostile relations with other countries

All of this like ecology and nationalism arent the two biggest challenge the world is facing. We see that and we think more ship on the sea and more stress on the lower and middle class is the way to go.

Wait until the French farmers find something they can justify to block the roads with cow dung

Why does Europe even need anything from third worlders?

Dear Mr. Trump!

We will forever be grateful for You bringing this deal home, the art as you call it, continues to leave us amazed.

As usual Qatar’s bs

I hope this one is blocked too because holly fuck.

No one but the top .1% buying anything.

This is a terrible deal for EU consumers:
The India–EU deal lowers prices in the short term, but it does so by undermining the very ecological and product-safety standards the EU pioneered. EU producers face high costs under REACH, CBAM and ESG rules, while imports are produced outside EU jurisdiction and increasingly certified and controlled in the exporting country, where enforcement is weaker.
In practice, the EU lacks the capacity to police millions of low-margin imports to EU-level standards, so cheaper goods enter while environmental and safety costs are externalised abroad. This is carbon and standards leakage: emissions fall on paper in Europe, rise globally, EU industry is undercut, and consumers get lower prices at the cost of long-term ecological credibility.
This isn’t free trade efficiency — it’s regulatory hypocrisy that weakens EU manufacturing and erodes the ecological fight Europe claims to lead

Trump puts 50% tariffs on India for buying Russian energy resources meanwhile the EU is making free trade deals with them. And in the end people are going to call him a Russian asset only because Europeans are better at virtue signaling.

India’s GDP is $4.2T while the EU’s GDP is around $20T, not sure where the extra $3T is coming from in this headline.
