European Commission

EU 🤝 India

We’ve just concluded negotiations on our biggest ever free trade agreement, with India.

What does this mean?
🔸 The world’s biggest free trade zone, covering 2 billion people
🔸 Unmatched access for EU companies to India’s fast-growing economy
🔸 Tariff cuts on 96.6% of EU goods, saving EU businesses €4 billion every year
🔸 Stronger ties between the world’s two largest democracies

A win for people, growth, and global partnership.

@EUCommission - much like concerns in Canada about recent deals with dodgy governments, the EU celebrates pushing trade above all else - like human rights, or rule of law.
Business over moral integrity.

@EUCommission Great, our companies will be able to relocate more easily to India. And Mittal, which has already completely scuttled our steelworks, is already rubbing its hands to sell its Indian steel even cheaper than ours. 😀

@EUCommission Behind the wonder of this agreement, the geopolitics of business promoted by the EC completely ignores the brutal nature of Modi's regime: https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2025/country-chapters/india

The ruling party and its leader are products of the "Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh" (RSS), the oldest and biggest fascist group that ever existed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashtriya_Swayamsevak_Sangh

@EUCommission

I would be more excited if the working majority would see anything of those "4 billion saved in tarrifs".

But most of that saved money will just end up in a few CEO pockets instead and we'll have to continue to scratch together our savings for food :/

@EUCommission
That is a great sales pitch. So what are the downsides? Who in EU looses? Who in India looses?
