Image: EuractivThe Brief – Parliament agrees on EU-US trade deal
• The European Parliament and another legislative body have reached an agreement on a trade deal with the United States, though critics argue the terms may leave the EU subservient to U.S. interests. • Separately, European Commission officials rejected a proposal by Kaja Kallas to implement new restrictive trade measures against illegal Israeli settlements. • The rejection of the Israel sanctions is seen as a significant setback for Kallas, despite support for the measures from France, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
