As a follow-up to its publication “A trade strategy fit for the 21st century”, BusinessEurope is organising an event in Brussels on 8 July in the afternoon. We anticipate a high-level discussion on the achievements under the current trade policy of the EU and the priorities that should be set for the future, under the new European Commission and European Parliament. The event taking place at Sofitel Hotel, Place Jourdan 1 will be followed by a cocktail reception.
