- Today, 25 years ago, Swedes voted yes to join the European Union in a referendum. Excellent decision. European cooperation has made us more prosperous and allowed us to find common solutions to common problems. We need to continue that path and step up the engagement.
- Excellent news - EU Member States just gave their green light for the trade agreement between the EU and Japan, so it can be signed at the summit in Brussels on Wednesday. The deal will open huge market opportunities for both sides. trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/press/i…
