Šefčovič’s plan to toughen Europe’s trade strategy against US, China
Description
As the world of politics divides its attention between Brussels’ commissioners' hearings and Washington’s election frenzy, Commissioner-designate for Trade Maroš Šefčovič’s interview matters for both sides of the Atlantic.
If the European Parliament green-lights him, Šefčovič pledges to reshape Europe’s foreign economic strategy against Beijing's “unfair practices” and Washington’s increasing protectionism. “It is time to double down on our efforts to safeguard the playing field," said the Slovakian commissioner-designate in front of MEPs (4 November).
Join us as host Giada Santana and economics reporter Thomas Moller-Nielsen comment on Šefčovič’s hearing live from the Parliament and what his words mean for the future of EU trade and competitiveness.
