Brussels, 14 July (LaPresse) – "We must protect jobs, businesses and the EU economy, and we must take measures to restore balance. The message has been the strongest I have seen since we began discussions with the United States, and so we will negotiate first, but we will prepare at the same time. And of course, as I said, with regard to the anti-abuse tool, everything is on the table, but we will do it step by step, one thing at a time." This was stated by European Commissioner for Trade Maros Sefcovic at the press conference following the EU Trade Council.
