France and Germany push EU rapid response tool for trade threats
Original: France, Germany seek new EU rapid response tool against trade threats
France and Germany are calling on the European Union to create a new rapid response mechanism to counter external trade threats, such as coercion or sudden economic pressure from third countries. The joint initiative signals the EU's two largest economies want faster, coordinated tools to protect the bloc's commercial interests amid rising global trade tensions.
Why now: Rising global trade tensions and economic coercion are pushing major EU members to demand faster collective defence of trade interests.
