Mr President, I would ask the Slovenian Presidency to continue with Portugal's impetus on trade relations. The positive results of the EU-US Summit should be worked out. Slovenia has a reputation and reputation for artificial intelligence and is therefore well placed to launch the Technology Council. There is also a need for a sustainable solution to steel and aluminium tariffs. I am also counting on this Presidency to give the Commission a negotiating mandate to reach a separate trade and investment agreement with our strategic partner India, after eight years of stalemate. Finally, the international trade system of the WTO must be put back on track, and so concrete results must be achieved at the twelfth Ministerial Conference. It's time for results!
