Introductory Statement by Commissioner Phil Hogan at Informal Meeting of EU Trade Ministers

The exchange provided Ministers with an opportunity to provide initial political reactions to the Commission’s proposal for a new export authorisation measure for certain items of personal protective equipment (PPE) as well as their response to the Commission’s recently published guidelines on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) screening.
