INTA discussed future of international trade, grandfathering regulation, enforcement

In its meeting of 28 May, INTA's members discussed the future of the international trading system with Trade Commissioner Hogan. The discussion addressed a broad spectrum of topics, notably the beefing up of the EU's trade toolbox to ensure a level playing field in the recovery period as well as the diversification, resilience and sustainability of supply chains. The meeting also featured a first discussion of the draft of INTA's position on the Enforcement Regulation, a presentation of the Commission on the application of the "Grandfathering" Regulation for bilateral investment agreements between Member States and third countries, and a consideration of INTA's annual report on the implementation of the Common Commercial Policy.
