00:00Do you have a spare pen?
00:04Yesterday the EU signed a historic trade deal with India that Ursula von der Leyen calls
00:11The mother of all deals
00:13Why, you ask?
00:15Because with Trump in the White House and the European relations with China being complicated
00:21Brussels needs new friends and it needs them fast
00:25Right now the EU is actually India's biggest trading partner if you count it as a block
00:31Trading about 100 billion euros a year
00:34And the goal is to double that by 2032
00:38And that's a lot of euros
00:41If you live in Mumbai, get ready for cheaper European cars, wines and machinery
00:47And if you live in Europe, expect cheaper electronics, textiles and medicines
00:52And India also needs green energy and waste management
00:57That is exactly what European companies are good at
01:00So expect to see more European tech in Indian water plants soon
01:05But not everyone is invited to the party
01:08Beef, chicken, sugar and rice stay protected
01:12And the reason is simple
01:14After the recent Mercosul negotiations nobody wanted to risk a riot
01:19You could say that food fights are officially cancelled
01:22At full potential this creates a market of 2 billion people
01:28That is almost a quarter of the world's GDP
01:31And Brussels calls it the most ambitious deal India has ever signed
01:37And it seems the EU needs that win
01:40Do you remember that EU-US trade deal von der Leyen and Trump
01:44Struck at his Scottish golf course last summer
01:47It is now facing further delays
01:50And EPs just postponed the vote on it again
01:54So while Washington waits, Delhi trades
01:57A new reporter has got a Hindi lesson in 5 minutes
02:01So namaste
02:02The end here
02:19As soon as the theaterANS
02:21For from the farmers to stay
02:23For the CSS
