On 8 March 2025, we celebrate International Women’s Day under the theme, “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.”
Let’s make it 365 days a year.
This is for my two daughters and all women in customs.
The opportunities offered to us by our oceans are immense, under certain conditions. We need to put ourselves in a position to ensure that our oceans serve our economies in a sustainable manner,” said Pascal Lamy, Former WTO Director-General and Chair of the Blue Economy and Finance Forum, at the 5th UN Ocean Forum this week in Geneva.
The event brings together global leaders, experts, and stakeholders to align trade and economic policies with ocean sustainability and the sustainable use of marine resources.

Justin Trudeau
A statement from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’ office outlines the retaliation. ”Canada will not let this unjustified decision go unanswered. Should American tariffs come into effect tonight, Canada will, effective 12:01 a.m. EST tomorrow, respond with 25 per cent tariffs against $155 billion of American goods – starting with tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods immediately, and tariffs on the remaining $125 billion on American products in 21 days’ time. Our tariffs will remain in place until the U.S. trade action is withdrawn, and should U.S. tariffs not cease, we are in active and ongoing discussions with provinces and territories to pursue several non-tariff measures. While we urge the U.S. administration to reconsider their tariffs, Canada remains firm in standing up for our economy, our jobs, our workers, and for a fair deal.”
