On Thursday, 28 May, for its American Hour series, AmCham EU had the pleasure of welcoming Michael Lally, Minister Counselor for Commercial Affairs; Erland Herfindahl, Senior US Trade Representative and Michael Sullivan, Counselor for Economic Affairs. The conversation was moderated by Susan Danger, CEO, AmCham EU.
The key takeaways from the meeting include:

- The US is engaging with the EU on how to counter China’s non-market economy behaviour.
- The US Mission is looking very closely at the Commission’s economic recovery proposal and in particular the own-resources debate.
- The US Mission is also paying close attention to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) decision, expected to be released on 16 July, on the issue of privacy shield.
