President of the European Council. Sounds good, right? But not just anyone is qualified for the job… Since December 2024, this top job has been in the hands of António Costa, former Prime Minister of Portugal. But how is the President of the European Council elected? And what’s his role? Let’s walk together to his office, and I’ll fill you in on the way: how’s he’s voted in, the key skills required, how this position relates to the three other top EU jobs – including that of European Commission President – and what his key responsibilities are, including building unity and representing the EU on the world stage.

Services are the most dynamic segment of world trade and present important development opportunities. However, many developing economies still lag in terms of participation in services trade. Services trade can be complex and realizing its growth potential can be challenging.
The Trade in Services for Development Initiative, launched at the Public Forum in September 2024, is a joint capacity building and technical assistance effort of the WTO Secretariat and the World Bank aimed at helping developing economies better leverage trade in services for development.
A conference on 3-4 December will present the new capacity building tools developed or expanded this year under the initiative.
