En savoir plus sur nos programmes de soutienIn 2006, the European Commission launched an ambitious plan to conclude a new generation of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with Asian markets as part of its Global Europe strategy. Today the use of such FTAs is all the more important since negotiations at the WTO are stalled, but also more contested as the state of the global economy remains volatile and uncertain. The objective of this one-day meeting is to take stock of the implementation of the Commission"s FTA strategy and the positions of a sampling of Asian partners, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges from the perspective of government, business and independent observers.

La guerre en Ukraine, la dépendance énergétique et technologique, ainsi que l’incertitude quant à la solidité du lien transatlantique imposent un approfondissement urgent de la souveraineté européenne, tant en matière de défense que de compétitivité économique et industrielle.
