Main Issues
- What are the key elements of EU’s new trade strategy? What distinguishes it from EU’s earlier trade policies? How could this new strategy cooperate with EU’s other policies as well as member states’ national strategies?
-What could be the characteristics and potential impact of the Trans-Atlantic trade deals upon the global trade, economic and even political orders?
-Will this new trade strategy lead to birth of a new Asian policy of the EU? Are there any common points in EU’s trade negotiations respectively with Japan, PRC, ASEAN countries and India? Or they are very different from each other and why?
