Šefčovič warns not to overload the fragile US-EU deal with extra demands as both sides prepare for Washington talks.
The commissioner says the Turnberry bargain must be respected by both the U.S. and the EU.
EU lawmakers have proposed sunrise and sunset clauses to lower U.S. tariffs, sparking debate in Brussels.
Council divisions appear as France edges closer to the European Parliament stance while Germany opposes the clauses.
Šefčovič hopes for a swift process but acknowledges more time for European Parliament deliberations.
The deal faces global pressures, including Trump’s Greenland threats and the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on tariffs.
Šefčovič says focus should remain on the core issues and tariff reductions rather than broader global topics.
The article notes the Turnberry accord was sealed last July in Scotland and later endorsed by the EU.
The Parliament has pushed for amendments that could lower U.S. tariffs on certain products.
Šefčovič stressed the need for a clean result and endorsed Council backing of Turnberry without additional conditions.
