Why would people take CDS on hyperscalers? No chance they are defaulting/going bankrupt. I mean the bubble could very well pop, but they are the last companies I would be worried about defaulting.
So, instead of making our prodution competitive, they want to maintain ultra regulations, and wait for others to become as unprodutive as we are. Seems smart… but then…why do comerce, at all?
As usual, Europe want to be protectionist…don't cry about American tariffs you hypocrites lol
Protectionism is not the answer to health concerns.
since 1999! imagine how many coffees with french croissants have been consumed in all those pointless meetings!
Does "mirrored production standards" mean that the EU will copy some of South America production standards or does the EU expect SA to copy them?
Delaying so that government can pass the budget ? 😅
france will never accept this.
Every day they approve a different safeguard. If I were Lula, I would have already blocked this agreement; it is being built solely to benefit the European Union.
Questi venditori di poke bowl ci stanno invadendo per colpa dell' avocado. Allo stesso modo del pesce crudo nel sushi basta un pezzetto di avocado per fare di una insalata di riso il cibo più ambito e costoso. Ben venga l' accordo per abbassare il prezzo dell' avocado e banalizzarlo. Su altre cose come i pomodori oppure i peperoni sarei più cauto nel senso che l' Unione Europea ha le leggi più severe su pesticidi OGM e così via.
Da consumatore l' idea di comprare merce priva di controlli non mi entusiasma.
Se uno vuole comprare peperoni a metà prezzo senza garanzie a quel punto li compra dalla bancarella in strada nei quartieri popolari.
I hope they turn it down. Those nations has no restricted rules on what poisining products they can use for agricultures
Negotiating with Mercosur is tantamount to financing Russia's allies.
