An agreement has been reached that marks the beginning of a process between the European Union and China to better protect the European market from unfair competition, particularly in the field of hybrid cars. As you know, this is the result of several years of work. Our goal was to restore fair and equal competition between European manufacturers and foreign manufacturers in cases where competition is distorted by excessive subsidies or other elements of unfair competition. French President Emmanuel Macron stated on Monday that this will allow for the protection of European car manufacturers against unfair competition. #hibrīdauto #EiropasSavienība #tirdzniecība (translated)

The European Union has set a quota for the import of hybrid cars from China, limiting their number to 350 thousand per year, in order to reduce the market share of hybrid cars produced in China in the EU and to protect local manufacturers from unfair competition. #hibrīdauto #EiropasSavienība #tirdzniecība (translated)

Andris Kulbergs (AS) wrote the day after the elections that the work of the Cabinet of Ministers continued, and thanked the voters for their trust in him and the UNITED LIST. He stated that the party had also won in the Bolderāja polling station in Riga. Kulbergs pointed out that President Edgars Rinkēvičs had invited all factions to a meeting, the UNITED LIST first, and congratulated it on its historic victory. He added that there was no space for 41 faction deputies in the Saeima and the Presidential Palace. He described the coalition meeting after the elections as the calmest he could recall, stating that the issues were dealt with swiftly. In his opinion, after the elections, coalition partners and journalists showed less interest in the everyday work of the Cabinet of Ministers. Speaking about a possible tax on Netflix and other streaming platforms, Kulbergs opposed its implementation, pointing out that it could hinder cooperation with the USA. He said that the USA currently ranks 15th in terms of Latvia's foreign trade, behind Russia, and mentioned discussions with American entrepreneurs, the Hollywood industry, and security and the deployment of US forces in Latvia. According to him, during the Latvian president's visit to the USA, the US ambassador had organized a meeting for the Latvian business delegation with about 300 high-level entrepreneurs, while HBO had already arrived in Latvia for talks. Kulbergs estimated that the streaming platform fee could generate about 600,000 euros but emphasized that those costs would likely be borne by consumers, with subscription prices increasing. He believed that the funding for the Latvian film industry could be found in other ways, including reviewing the SIF programs, and he criticized the Ministry of Culture for not finding a solution without a new tax in four months. #Latvija #vēlēšanas #politika (translated)

Russia is bombing Ukrainian ports and preventing Ukrainian grains from reaching the world market, but at the same time wants to profit from transporting its grains through the EU. Our infrastructure must not help Russia finance its war. We must increase pressure on the aggressor and help Ukraine deliver its goods to the world market. Mihals plans to raise this issue at the European Council meeting next week in Brussels. #Ukraina #KrievijasAgresija #Tirdzniecība (translated)

The Baltic states are calling on the European Union to ban the transit of Russian grain, emphasizing that Russia is trying to weaken the Ukrainian economy by attacking its trade routes, and that the EU and Ukraine's solidarity corridors must be strengthened to support the access of Ukrainian goods to the global market. #Ukraina #KrievijasAgresija #Tirdzniecība (translated)

Ukraine opposes indefinite restrictions on its grain trade in the European Union, as it believes this would contradict the essence of its accession, despite existing concerns from farmers in EU member states about potential consequences. #Ukraina #GrauduTirdzniecība #EiropasSavienība (translated)

Latviju nedrīkst pārpludināt ar ārvalstu lēto darbaspēku; noraidām uzņēmēju organizāciju pārmetumus Uzņēmēju bažas esam uzklausījuši, taču Latvijas ekonomikas attīstību nevar ilgtermiņā balstīt uz arvien lielāku trešo valstu darbaspēka ievešanu. Darba devējiem, plānojot uzņēmumu attīstību un darbaspēka vajadzības, ir jāpārskata uzņēmējdarbības virzieni, lai uzņēmumu darbība nebūtu balstīta uz trešo valstu valstspiederīgo darbaspēka piesaisti. Valsts pienākums ir noteikt, cik lielu imigrācijas apjomu Latvija spēj uzņemt un kontrolēt. Ekonomiskās intereses ir jāvērtē kopā ar valsts drošības, sabiedrības saliedētības un iekšlietu dienestu kapacitātes jautājumiem. Reaģējot uz Ārvalstu investoru padomes Latvijā (FICIL), Latvijas Darba devēju konfederācijas (LDDK) un Latvijas Tirdzniecības un rūpniecības kameras (LTRK) paustajiem iebildumiem pret ieceri noteikt kvotas trešo valstu pilsoņu nodarbināšanai, iekšlietu ministrs Jānis Dombrava noraida pārmetumus un uzsver, ka Latvijas ekonomikas attīstību nedrīkst balstīt uz arvien lielāku lētā darbaspēka ievešanu no trešajām valstīm. Iekšlietu ministrija TAP portālā ir iesniegusi Ministru kabineta noteikumu projektu, kas balstās Imigrācijas likuma normā un šonedēļ valdībā apstiprinātajā visaptverošajā imigrācijas ierobežošanas plānā, paredzot noteikt kvotas ārvalstniekiem, kuriem ir tiesības uz nodarbinātību Latvijā. Iekšlietu ministrija ir izstrādājusi regulējumu un sākotnēji piedāvā kvotu noteikt 2% apmērā pret Latvijas iedzīvotāju skaitu, kas ir līdzvērtīgs šā gada līmenim. Turpmāk kvotu paredzēts pārskatīt, balstoties uz kompetento iestāžu atzinumiem, par pamatu ņemot valsts drošības riskus un demogrāfisko situāciju. Valdības apstiprinātajā visaptverošajā imigrācijas ierobežošanas plānā kvotu sistēma ir viens no instrumentiem līdzās citiem pasākumiem legālās un nelegālās migrācijas kontroles stiprināšanai. Iekšlietu ministrija turpina darbu pie visaptverošajā imigrācijas ierobežošanas plānā paredzēto pasākumu ieviešanas un nepieciešamā regulējuma izstrādes. #Latvija #Migrācija #Ekonomika
