EU’s response to US and other threats

The session analyses the implications of high US tariffs as the new normal, the EU’s response to external threats, the abolition of the €150 de minimis threshold and new parcel charges, as well as the progress of major trade agreements such as Mercosur and India. It also considers broader geopolitical risks, including Russia-Ukraine and China’s economic pressures, and what these developments may mean for businesses operating in an increasingly volatile global trade environment.
