On Tuesday, 30 June, AmCham EU hosted a roundtable exploring strategies for preparing Europe’s workforce for the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Members and policymakers analysed how AI is changing roles across sectors and how employers, governments and education providers can respond. Joined by Idoia Mendia, MEP (ES, S&D) and Mario Nava, Director-General, Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, European Commission, the conversation focused on digital and data skills, as well as expanding AI literacy across organisations. Participants also discussed reskilling and public-private cooperation to support a more inclusive labour market. In addition, members shared best practices from their companies and pointed to the need for policy frameworks that support lifelong learning and skills-based hiring. As AI becomes part of everyday work, Europe must close the skills gap to strengthen competitiveness and prepare people for the future of work.

Tuesday, 30 June 2026 marks an important milestone in the implementation of the EU public Country-by-Country Reporting (pCbCR) Directive. For the first time, many multinational enterprises with a 30 June financial year-end will be required to publish information under the Directive.
As stakeholders and policymakers begin to analyse and interpret the newly available data, it is important that they interpret it within the context of the specific reporting rules defined by the EU Directive.
The pCbCR Directive stands apart from reporting done for tax purposes and its fragmented implementation has created significant complexities for taxpayers.
Read more about how lawmakers should approach this first round of reports and why pCbCR simplification is vital to support tax transparency and reporting efficiency.
