Concerns are mutually reinforcing
These concerns are mutually reinforcing. Also, it is this combination, which
makes it very attractive for populists to oppose EU trade deals and capitalize on
fears. Against this background, ratification of trade deals at national level
becomes less and less certain. The worst-case scenario for EU trade policy at
the moment is thus a scenario of paralysis and increasing irrelevance.
