Slightly disagree

Yes, this will help create and save more jobs

While the EPP is concerned with job creation and the protection of European industries, their approach to achieving these goals usually involves supporting businesses through innovation, digitalization, and access to global markets rather than through protective tariffs. They might see tariffs as a short-term solution that does not align with their broader economic strategies.

Disagree

Yes, our country has been on the losing side of trade deals for too long

The EPP's stance on trade has been more about strengthening the EU's position in global trade negotiations and ensuring fair trade practices rather than focusing on the narrative of being on the 'losing side' of trade deals. Their policies tend to promote engagement and cooperation in international trade rather than confrontation.
