Press release 28-07-2025 INTA   Statement by Chairman Lange on EU-US Trade deal       After the trade and tariffs deal that was reached between the EU and the US yesterday, the Chair of the International Trade Committee, Bernd LANGE (S&D, DE) issued the following statement: “The defenders of yesterday’s EU-US deal will say that the worst has been averted, that the deal creates stability for the largest trading relationship in the world, that the deal ensures EU competitiveness vis-à-vis other partners and that provides cooperation between the EU and the US beyond trade. I strongly hope they are right. For my part, I see an asymmetry set in stone. What is the price we are paying for this deal? Many questions still remain on this deal and I’ll make sure that whatever one thinks about it, Parliament gets answers to all the outstanding questions. First and foremost I want to make sure that nothing in our right to regulate, from digital services to carbon pricing, has been compromised in return for this deal. Also that if this deal turns into binding commitments, the European Parliament and Council will have the last say on it.” Further information  Committee on International Trade  EU-US Trade relations  Statement by Mrs von der Leyen about the deal  Contact Chair Lange   Lieven COSIJN Press officer (+32) 2 28 31183 (BXL) (+32) 473 864 141 lieven.cosijn@europarl.europa.eu EP_Trade     This message was sent to v.ch.maria@gmail.com
