About the dialogue
The Commission is committed to creating a transparent and accountable trade and economic security policy for the EU, based on consultations with European civil society.
To ensure inclusive policymaking, DG Trade holds regular, structured meetings – or Civil Society Dialogues – with stakeholders to discuss trade policy issues.
These meetings involve the European commissioner for trade and economic security or senior officials, offering updates on EU trade policy, and facilitating an exchange of views.
For more information on the dialogue framework, visit the EU's Transparency Register.
