The EU is making waves in global trade wit h recent bold moves to boost competitiveness and tackle trade challenges he ad-on. The Omnibus Proposal\, in sync with the Competitiveness Compass and the Draghi Report\, aims to streamline trade regulations and enhance the EU 's business appeal for international players.
On the frontlines of un fair trade practices\, the European Commission now mandates the registratio n of all imports under anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations\, crack ing down on unfair competition from third-country producers. Recent CJEU ca se law also targets artificial production relocations designed to dodge new trade remedy measures.
The EU's robust sanctions against Russia cont inue in response to its aggression against Ukraine\, with measures targetin g key sectors and individuals. How do these sanctions stack up against thos e from the US?
Lastly\, the EU is not backing down from the new US ta riffs on steel and aluminum. With countermeasures already in place and more potentially on the horizon\, the EU is poised to defend its position in gl obal trade.
