Joint EU-U.S. Stakeholder Event - Transatlantic cooperation on digital initiatives to facilitate trade

Report published, see below

In the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) Joint Statement of December 2022, the European Union and the United States. agreed to exchange information on respective initiatives to enhance trade with a view to develop joint best practices and to discuss how best to promote compatibility of such digital tools.

On 4 May 2023, the Trade and Technology Dialogue (TTD) invites you to join representatives from the European Union and the United States for an online stakeholder meeting to discuss possible transatlantic cooperation on digital initiatives to enhance trade. The event is organised under TTC Working Group 10 – Global Trade Challenges.

During this workshop, the European Commission and the U.S. Government will provide a short update of the ongoing exploratory work of how digital technology can be used to simplify trade-related activities. This will be followed by brief interventions of selected EU and U.S.-based stakeholders and a moderated discussion with all participants. The purpose is to seek the initial views of stakeholders on how digital technology can be used by governments to make trading easier, and ways in which the European Union and the United States could potentially co-operate further towards best practices or the compatibility of digital tools.
