Food must never be used as a weapon of war.
Grain from Ukraine feeds people all over the world.
But Russia is blocking exports through the Black Sea and is deliberately causing global food insecurity.
The EU is calling for attacks to stop and grain to flow again.
Food must never be used as a weapon of war.

In an interview with @baqirsajjad @dawn_com, I discussed the importance of 🇪🇺 GSP+ partnership with Pakistan and the path ahead.
“The government will need to take steps towards improving the situation, which will also be very important in the reapplication process,” EU Ambassador Raimundas Karoblis told Dawn.

What’s next for the EU-Pakistan trade relationship? Ambassador @KaroblisR speaks to Business Recorder about GSP+, implementation and the opportunities ahead. brecorder.com/news/40438128/…
EU Ambassador said the next phase of the EU’s GSP+ status would place significantly greater emphasis on implementation rather than ratifying international conventions only or putting legislation on the statute books.

Met @EUPakistan envoy Amb @KaroblisR for discussion on Pakistan’s reapplication for EU’s new GSP framework, including whether or not continuation of current facility during 2 year transition period is guaranteed.
Read the details in my report in @dawn_com tomorrow (Monday).
Raimundas Karoblis retweeted
While Pakistan and EU remain engaged over GSP+ preferential trading scheme and its future, EU ambassador @KaroblisR has cautioned that GSP+ benefits cannot be taken for granted.
It means that while there is no roll over into new scheme, the transition period does not amount to an automatic continuation of the facility for the two year period.

Pakistan will have to re apply for the GSP+ status next year and there are certain conditions that it will have to meet to secure the GSP+ which allows Pakistani goods tax free access to European markets.What are the areas in which Pakistan is falling short? Watch @voicepkdotnet for our exclusive with @EUPakistan @KaroblisR EU Ambassador to Pakistan.

Nothing beats the taste of Pakistani mangoes - the king of fruits.
Loved for their aroma & taste, more Pakistani mangoes are reaching European consumers straight from local farms, with 🇪🇺 support.

❗#UPDATE The EU has published 5th GSP Report!
The report evaluates the implementation of 27 international core conventions in beneficiary countries.
It points to areas where progress is needed.
Since the award of GSP+ in 2014, 🇵🇰’s exports to 🇪🇺 have risen by 91.45%.

Across South Asia, millions of children still face barriers to quality education.
In Balochistan, a decade-long partnership between the EU, @UNICEF & @dpr_gob helped 760,000+ children access quality education.
This is what multilateralism makes possible. unicef.org/pakistan/press-re…
Every point on this map tells the same story: education cannot wait.
Across the world, conflict, climate emergencies and displacement continue to keep millions of children out of school. Together, the EU and @UNICEF are helping children learn by building classrooms, training teachers and strengthening education systems where they are needed most.
In north-west Nigeria alone, a €40 million programme will help more than 1.5 million children access quality education.
This is what multilateralism makes possible. The EU and its Member States are the largest financial contributor to the United Nations system, helping deliver lasting impact for children worldwide.
Reliable. And that's the whole point.
