On March 4th, the European Commission released its new EU Ports Strategy, a framework designated to enhance the competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience of the Union’s maritime hubs. The strategy comes at a transformative period for global trade, as trade and shipping routes are rapidly reconfigured by the proliferation of tariffs, the emergence of economic partnerships, and the overarching demand for economic security and resilience. The strategic implications of this framework extends far beyond infrastructure to the very core of food security.
To analyze the intersections of EU Ports Strategy and the real-world outcome for food security, TradeExperettes invites you to a webinar titled Strategic Gateways: The EU Ports Strategy and the Future of Food Security, on Friday 24th April, 15:00 CEST /09:00 EDT
The webinar will leverage the findings of our flagship report Ten Trade Wins to explore how the Strategy secures the Union’s agri-food supply chains, unpack the strategy’s opportunities, challenges and policy trade-offs, and examine next steps for a successful implementation that balances open trade with economic security.
The discussion features Torsten Klimke, Head of Unit for Ports and Inland Navigation at DG MOVE (European Commission), Darci Vetter, Principal at Sower Strategies LLC and former USTR Chief Agricultural Negotiator and Rasmus Hald Philipsen, Senior Advisor for Europe at Maersk. Giulia Pasquali, Associate Director at advisory firm FGS Global will moderate the panel.
