Youth Policy Dialogue with Commissioner Maros Šefčovič – EU trade and economic security – what is at stake for young Europeans?

EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, Interinstitutional Relations and Transparency Maros Šefčovič will hold a discussion on EU trade and economic security with students from the College of Europe in Natolin.

Trade is an essential driver of the EU’s prosperity, supporting our competitiveness and economic security, while creating jobs and opening up opportunities for Europeans in a fast-changing world. Our customs system, meanwhile, helps ensure that only goods that comply with our standards enter the EU market, while enabling EU law on goods to be properly enforced.

But rising tensions, shifting priorities and global challenges like sustainability, climate change and technological competition are reshaping the way countries and businesses interact.

So the EU needs bold ideas and fresh perspectives as we seek to answer some key questions: What’s the best way to make sure the EU remains a leader in global trade while creating more high-quality jobs at home? Which are the most important objectives for EU trade policy, and how can they be achieved? What should the EU prioritise to secure a greener and more digital long-term future?

That is why Maros Šefčovič, European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, Interinstitutional Relations and Transparency, will sit down with students from the College of Europe in Natolin to discuss their opinions, ideas and questions on these issues, which are especially crucial to the next generation of Europeans.
