TIE and 30 leading EU business associations call for a strong and open EU trade policy in the upcoming institutional cycle. Free and fair trade in safe toys benefits the competitiveness and resilience of the European industry, as well as children’s access to fun and safe toys globally.
For the EU to maintain global economic leadership and secure a prosperous future for its citizens, the coalition calls on the EU to:
- pursue new and renewed trade agreements to improve access to new markets.
- continue to support the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the international rules-based system. These are key to a fair and predictable trade environment.
- further collaborate with third-country partners and stronger trade diplomacy.
A dedicated Commissioner for Trade should oversee this exclusive EU competence, ensuring focused leadership and strategic direction.
