Within the framework of the Natolin Transforming Ideas initiative, the College of Europe in Natolin was honoured to host a High-Level Youth Dialogue titled "EU Trade and Economic Security - What is at Stake for Young Europeans" with Mr Maroš ŠEFČOVIČ, EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, Interinstitutional Relations and Transparency.
The Youth Dialogue is a series of events where EU Commissioners meet the youth from universities and beyond. The aim of this meeting was to open a platform of discussion with students about trade, which is an essential driver of the EU’s prosperity, supporting competitiveness and economic security, while creating jobs and opening up opportunities for Europeans in a fast-changing world.
Mr ŠEFČOVIČ focused on the following questions:
- What is the best way to make sure the EU remains a leader in global trade while creating more high-quality jobs at home?
- Which are the most important objectives for EU trade policy, and how can they be achieved?
- What should the EU prioritise to secure a greener and more digital long-term future?
