This is the first ever multilateral trade deal focused on environmental sustainability.

It was one of the main outcomes of the #MC12 conference last year @wto in Geneva.

RT @Trade_EU: #MC12 achieved a meaningful multilateral agreement contributing to the protection of the oceans, including a strong prohibition of subsidies contributing to illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing with unprecedented transparency provisions.

It is also essential to continue work on the implementation of the #MC12 Declaration on Emergency response to Food Insecurity.

🔮 Have we entered a period of deglobalization?
⚖️ Do we need to rethink international trade?
🆘 What should WTO members do about it?

Great to talk in @EP_Trade’s EoV on the outcome of #MC12, the following steps towards @WTO #reform, and what we need for the #WTO to deliver the goods, especially on a workable dispute #settlement #mechanism with an expert panel today including @WeyandSabine #AnnaMichelleMEP

After 20 years of failed negotiations, @wto has secured a deal to curb harmful subsidies that contribute to overfishing during #MC12👏👇
RT @wto: #FishFriday: What a historic moment for the WTO! The livelihoods of fishers & our oceans will be protected as a result of the tireless efforts of WTO members who achieved an outcome on fisheries subsidies.

Watch @WillsSantiago recount the outcome achieved during MC12.

#MC12 was a moderate success, but the long-term future of the #WTO is far from certain. Although a light continues to shine for the future of #multilateralism, and the WTO lives to fight another day, we must intensify our efforts in #defending multilateralism #AnnaMichelleMEP

RT @PIIE: Despite low expectations, @WTO made progress at #MC12, agreeing on a package of reforms on vaccine waivers, food security, & fisheries’ subsidies.
@MalmstromEU writes that members should have addressed disadvantages women face in the world trading system.

RT @miamikic: Thank you @MalmstromEU for bringing attention to underachievement on #womenandtrade in #MC12. Silver lining- could a 3-line mention of WEE in the min.declaration (shared with MSMEs) be taken as #gender recognized as an inclusive and sustainable trade issue? #womeninartnet
