Susan Danger, CEO, AmCham EU recently joined the European Parliament Research Service’s podcast for a discussion on the EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC). The episode highlights the important step the TTC brings in bridging gaps and advancing a future-oriented agenda focused on strategic areas and new ways of cooperation. The TTC offers an opportunity to strengthen the world’s largest economic relationship with the EU and US setting global standards together.

‘The TTC is a fantastic opportunity for the EU and the US to tackle new and emerging issues together. At AmCham EU, where we represent over 150 companies committed to and invested in Europe, we fully support this initiative. The first meeting took place in Pittsburgh and the outcome is positive so now the attention must turn to yielding swift results to strengthen the transatlantic relationship. Both sides share common values and can set global standards together,’ said Susan Danger.

FSR compliance: complexity undermining competitiveness
The EU proposed the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) in 2021 to address foreign subsidies distorting the Single Market. Operating as a screening instrument behind merger control, it requires companies to notify the European Commission of foreign financial contributions (FFCs) they may receive when participating in public procurement or mergers and acquisitions activity. Preventing FFCs from distorting the Single Market is an important goal – and one that must be achieved without creating its own disruptions.

Discussing competitiveness in the agri-food sector in Barcelona
At the Alimentaria Conference in Barcelona, Edouard Coppieters, Senior Policy Adviser, AmCham EU, spoke about placing competitiveness at the centre of the European agri-food ecosystem. Taking place on Tuesday, 24 March, he outlined the role of simplification and Better Regulation principles in ensuring a stable agri-food supply chain and supporting the sector’s competitiveness. He noted that the sector operates within an international trade environment and that stakeholders across the value chain face challenges in adapting to the current legislative framework. He emphasised the need to simplify operations within the Single Market and ensure that legislation is fit for purpose rather than a box-ticking exercise. Aurélie Dufour, Europe Sustainability Engagement and Regulation Lead, Yum! Brands and Dirk Jacobs, Director-General, FoodDrinkEurope also joined the panel.
