🇪🇺 EU trade policy

A rushed hybrid safeguard, a planned trade 'kill-switch': a politics of the present that sidesteps the rule of law and jeopardises Europe's global influence.

Editor’s Take: ‘No future’ spirit pervades trade policy in Brussels - Borderlex - European trade policy
A rushed safeguard on hybrid cars from China and a planned trade ‘kill-switch’ reveal a lack of long-term thinking in European Union trade policy.

📦 Incoterms define shipping costs. Not regulatory liability.

Under every Incoterm — EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP — the EU Importer of Record stays liable for GPSR, CBAM, and EUDR.

Real issue is data custody:
🔹 FOB — files held until B/L
🔹 DDP — opacity, you're still liable
