ESF Contribution to Commission’s Trade Policy Review2020-09-14

On 14 September 2020, ESF Chairman, Noel Clehane sent a letter to EVP & Commissioner Designate for Trade Valdis Dombrovskis on the contribution of the European Services Forum (ESF) to the European Commission’s Consultation on the Trade Policy Review.

“The European Union success has been built upon open trade with the rest of the world while ensuring high level of consumer protection, and high-level respect of labour rights and environment protection. These values have made Europe stronger and have positioned the European Union as a solid and trustful partner that in return provided the Union with tremendous access to other countries’ markets, which generated exports, imports and investment that created growth and millions of jobs. The new trade policy must pursue the exercise of supporting rules-based trade with trading partner outside the EU.  This will contribute to increase the resilience of the Union, by offering new market access” says ESF Chairman.
