On 15th of June, the end of the retaliatory tariffs between the EU and the US affecting products unrelated to the World

Brussels/Frankfurt, 15 June 2021 – Commenting on the EU Commission's "Lessons learned" about the Corona pandemic Thilo Brodtmann, Executive Director at VDMA, says:

Eight hundred guests, including high level politicians, senior diplomats, academics and business leaders will be arriving in Bratislava for the GLOBSEC 2021 Bratislava Forum, which takes place between 15-17 June.

One of the world’s biggest security conferences, the focus of this this year’s GLOBSEC Bratislava Forum will be post-pandemic recovery.

Brussels/Frankfurt, 14 June 2021 – The upcoming EU-US Summit in Brussels must be used to advance the transatlantic trade agenda. In recent weeks, both sides have already taken important steps to reduce the issues at stake in bilateral trade. However, both the Airbus-Boeing tariffs and the US tariffs on steel and aluminium continue to burden the mechanical and plant engineering sector. Solutions must be found here in the coming months.
