Civil Society Dialogue on the EU Trade Policy Review

This Civil Society Dialogue will allow for an exchange of views with EU civil society organisations and collection of initial feedback from civil society

  • Date: 13/07/2020, 15:00-17:00
  • Location: WEBEX

Meeting details

On 16 June Commissioner Hogan launched the review of the EU’s trade policy via a speech at the European University Institute in Florence. An informal public consultation was started on that same day, with the publication of a consultation note with detailed background and a set of questions to which all stakeholders can react until 15 September 2020.

The objective of this review is to help formulate the direction of EU trade policy for the medium-term in an ever more challenging global environment and build on lessons learned from the crisis. The results of this reflection and consultation process taking place in the coming months will feed into a communication to be issued towards the end of the year.

This Civil Society Dialogue will allow for an exchange of views with EU civil society organisations and collection of initial feedback from civil society.
