European farmers are facing mounting crises, from extreme weather to market instability and unfair competition. The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has issued a stark warning: existing EU policies are failing to protect farmers, and urgent reforms are needed to secure their incomes, strengthen their bargaining power, and ensure a sustainable future for European agriculture.
The U.S. tax policy has profound implications for global economies, particularly Europe. As one of the world’s largest economies and key partners, shifts in U.S. tax regulations can significantly impact foreign direct investment, trade balances, corporate decision-making, and regulatory landscapes in Europe. For Europe, understanding and preparing for these shifts is essential to maintaining economic stability and fostering constructive US-EU relations.
BusinessEurope and the European Economic and Social Committee invite you to a high-level seminar on the evolving global tax landscape and its impact on European competitiveness. With key insights from the EU Commission, experts in taxation, business, and policymakers, this event will explore the implications of the U.S. tax agenda and the EU’s tax policy developments for European businesses and economies.
