I think we have
to wait for the text and whether the "rebalancing clause" is there under general exceptions?
yes, on shared values, exactly
and no hang ups on CBAM
India's highlights for the deal. Note, 99% of tariff lines become tariff free, compared to 85% for UK exports.
Of course, I would have hoped that some UK offensive interests had moved on, but I believe the Scotch Whisky Association + others have wanted this deal for decades
And it also signals continued support for outward orientated growth - that does matter
Yes, by built in bias. Depressing to even contemplate how tariff hikes of between 10-50% on industries critical to trade and jobs (esp.women) in LDCs could ever be justified.
Thanks to @tessforum.bsky.social and @carolyndeere.bsky.social
great radio interview this morning btw!

I think its important to flag.. we have focused so far more on the compliance cost issues associated with the "green squeeze", but there are other economic/price effects (though more difficult to capture) given the host of measures being deployed vis-a-vis poorer c's struggling with debt etc.
