These recommendations matter today: The new "Clean Trade and Investment Partnerships" of the EU Commission provide a promising opportunity for reform.
The new German government should use this opportunity & the EU budget negotiations this summer to advance & improve the partnership agenda.

2. Progressive partners welcome the new approach, but care mainly about their own dev strategies & have no tolerance for empty promises.
In this age of geoeconomic competition and EU dependencies in key supply chains, we cannot afford to make lofty promises without following through.

Our main messages:
1. Partnership instruments remain legally weak, fragmented & underfunded. More powerful trade and investment agreements can contradict the new instruments and themselves lack partnership elements.
