Macron urges the EU not to hesitate in using the «trade bazooka»: «We are heading towards a lawless world.»

Davos (Switzerland) – This Tuesday, the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, urged his colleagues from the European Union to use the anti-corruption mechanism when the EU is disrespected and warned that “we are heading towards a world without laws.” Macron called on his colleagues from the European Union to utilise the anti-corruption mechanism when “we are not respected and the rules are not followed.” “We must not hesitate to use it,” Macron stated during his speech at the Davos Forum, referencing the anti-corruption mechanism, known as the “trade bazooka,” which the EU implemented at the end of 2023 and has yet to be put into practice. “Europe has tools that we must employ when we are not treated with respect and when the rules are not followed,” added the French president, who advocated for maintaining a “European preference.”
