Open and rules-based trade is essential for European prosperity and industrial growth. Growing geopolitical tensions, market distortions and fragmentation of the global economy underline the importance of maintaining open markets while ensuring fair conditions of competition. Strategic partnerships and targeted EU trade instruments can help address market distortions, ensure fair competition, and strengthen the competitiveness of European industry.
FFIF key message:
