@halbwach @angel @tazgetroete @glsbank EBEN!

Angesichts der Nötigung durch das US-Regime bin ich ja für's ersatzlose Streichen von "Datenaustausch" und "Datenübermittlungsprogrammen" jeglicher Art.

Zumal #Trump's Regime quasi NULL Austausch in anderen Dingen [z.B. #US-Militär in #Europa und besonders #Deutschland] durchführt und sich derweil sogar erdreistet über #Grönland herrschen zu wollen!

"Det ser ikke ut til å være noen reelle mekanismer i avtalen for å holde selskaper ansvarlige for menneskerettighetsbrudd, avskoging og annen klima- og miljøfiendtlig atferd."

🇺🇸 🇪🇺 LA REAZIONE MIGLIORE ALLE TARIFFE DI TRUMP (secondo me)

Secondo me la reazione migliore per l'UE alle tariffe di trump (e che si vede poco) , è quella di chiamare i paesi EFTA e CPTPP (lasciando perdere i BRICS per il momento), ed abbozzare una risposta comune alle letterine di trump: invece di rispondere uno ad uno, farsi le proprie regole e stabilire una politica commerciale comune nei confronti degli USA (e di eventuali altri paesi "devianti").

EU-Nachbarn schließen Handelsabkommen mit #Mercosur: Die Europäische Freihandelsassoziation (#EFTA) hat ein Handelsabkommen mit den #Mercosur-Staaten in Südamerika geschlossen. Damit begrüßen die vier EFTA-Staaten jene Agrarimporte, die bislang das größte Hindernis für ein Mercosur-Abkommen der EU darstellen. euractiv.de/section/finanzen-u

It's a good day for obscure international courts, as the often neglected EFTA Court made front-page news in Norway over its judgment in the Norwegian State v Greenpeace Nordic.

The head of #Greenpeace Norway is quoted calling the #EFTA Court "the most important tribunal Norway must deal with as an #EEA country". While the validity of this claim could be questioned, it is certainly more true today than it was yesterday.

Visa Policies of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪, and the Schengen Area (comprising 25 #EU member states 🇪🇺 and four #EFTA countries 🇮🇸 🇱🇮 🇳🇴 🇨🇭 that are not part of the EU) as of April 2025.

The image is a world map illustrating the visa policy of the United Kingdom, using different colours to indicate the visa requirements for various countries. The United Kingdom is marked in red. Countries within the Common Travel Area are shown in blue. Nations where electronic travel authorisation is required are highlighted in light green. Countries with no visa requirement if a valid BIVS Irish visa is presented are shaded in light grey. Dark grey represents countries that require a visa for entry, including both landside and airside transit. The map is framed within a circular projection, displaying continents and their respective countries in distinct colours. The background of the map is white, and the ocean areas are left blank.The image is a world map detailing the visa policy of the Republic of Ireland. Regions are colour-coded to indicate different visa requirements. Ireland is marked in red, while the Common Travel Area, including the United Kingdom, is shown in blue. Countries with freedom of movement (EU/EEA/CH) are shaded light blue. Countries where a visa is not required for up to 90 days are shown in dark green. Regions where no visa is needed if the traveller holds a valid UK visitor visa are shaded in light green. Territories that require a visa for both entry and transit are depicted in grey. Most countries in Europe, North America, and Oceania are marked in shades of green or blue, indicating that they either do not require a visa or have visa-free arrangements with Ireland.The image is a world map titled “Visa Policy of the Schengen Area.” It uses colour coding to represent different visa policies associated with the Schengen Area. Schengen Area countries are highlighted in dark blue, primarily covering Western and parts of Central Europe. Non-Schengen European Union members are shown in light grey. Countries in green—including regions in North and South America, parts of Asia, and Australia—indicate that a visa is not required for short stays in the Schengen Area. Regions in dark grey, located in Africa, Asia, and parts of the Middle East, require a visa for entry into the Schengen Area. The map includes a legend in the bottom left corner explaining the colour scheme.

@nielso das Problem an #wero ist dass es anders als #PayPal nicht #global verfügbar ist und nur im #SEPA-Raum und nicht als #Webseite.

Wer nur #Europa abdeckt hat keine PayPal-Alternative geschaffen, sondern effektiv ein schlechteres #JCB / #UnionPay / #DinersClub / #Discover released.

Seeing a few posts here and there suggesting that the UK ought to rejoin the EU. I still wonder, why such little interest in #EFTA ?

@nico198X @aral @robin Problem with #PayPal et. al. is that there ain't real & global competitiors.

And not only is it impractical for people to travel in person to i.e. Germany just to wait weeks (!!!) on an appointment and get a bank accout opened in person but even then the Bsic Account as per @BaFin regulations only applies to consumers in Germany and not SMEs from overseas and even then those business accounts are usually way more expensive than partnering with an expensive payment processor to outsorce headaches.

  • Ask me how I know...

Needless to say the #PayPalMafia got their power to basically monopolize global payments...

@dideldum @leachimus +9001%

Der #Euro hat signifikante Vorteile für alle aber besonders #Deutschland gehabt, weil anders als #DMark keine #Umtausch-Industrie in der #EU und durch Harmonisierung deutsche Produkte billiger wurden, was bei der deutschen Exportwirtschaft vorteilhaft ist.

  • Und natürlich ist es bequemer und flexibler wenn zwischen Portugal und Zypern sowie Malta und Finnland dieselbe Währung genutzt wird...

#wero muss sich #global behaupten können, sonst wird es bestenfalls ne nationale oder regionale Option sein wie #WeChatPay, #AliPay, #UnionPay, #JCB & #Mir, und damit kein #Wettbewerber zu #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard & #PayPal.

  • Allein auf den #SEPA-Raum sich zu beschränken macht es zur Totgeburt und nutzlos außerhalb von EU & #EFTA...

#wirecard war zwar nen #Betrug, aber die boten sich #global an, und solange #B2B nicht Muster mit wero auf #Alibaba / #AliExpress kaufen können und #Kleinanzeigen.de & #eBay nicht wero in "Sicher Bezahlen" unterstützt wird's sich nicht durchsetzen können.

(Okay, das war zwar @EUCommission aber das Prinzip ist gleich...)

#Zahlungsmittel sind #Infrastruktur, sogar #KritischeInfrastruktur und @BaFin täte gut daran offene, dezentrale Standards und Lösungen zu fördern und fordern. Gern auch in Zusammenarbeit mit @bundesbank@social.bund.de & @ecb ...
