  • Lunch Seminar: Food Security and the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy: Facts Against Fears

    Venue: Rue Montoyer 47, Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia
    Speakers: Valentin Zahrnt
    Time: 13:00

    Does the EU need agricultural tariffs and subsidies to ensure its food security? The food price surges in 2007/08 and the 2010 spike in wheat prices have pushed this question into the headlines, while climate change and global population growth fuel concerns about the EU’s long-term ability to produce and import sufficient food supplies. Note new venue: Rue Montoyer 47, Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia

  • Invitation to Conference: EU Trade Policy towards Asia – The Role of Taiwan

    Venue: Crown Plaza Hotel, 155 Rue de la Loi, Brussels

    The European Union is stepping up its trade and economic profile in Asia. A Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Korea has just been signed, and negotiations of FTAs are under way with India and selected countries in the Southeast Asian region. Furthermore, there have been talks about a new trade agreement with Japan, and the EU and China have in the last years been developing a new format for improved bilateral trade integration. One question that arises is: what are the strategies for bilateral trade integration with Asian countries outside the current trade strategy?

  • EU-Russia Relations: The Role of Investment Policy

    Venue: ECIPE, Rue Belliard 4-6, Brussels
    Speakers: Fredrik Erixon
    Time: 12:45

    EU-Russia relations have lately been improving. After years of political turbulence fraught by Russian assertiveness and the Kremlin’s desire to regain global or regional power, there are signs that Russian leadership is warming up to a new approach that is more constructive and aims for deeper integration with world -and European markets through new commercial policy deals. Russia has now signaled it wants to resurrect its application to join the World Trade Organisation. Moreover, it has showed an interest to push forward belated negotiations with the EU, commencing with a new "Partnership for Modernization".

  • Invitation to a Lunch Seminar: Ukraine after the Crisis: Recovery, Reform or Russification?

    Venue: ECIPE, Rue Belliard 4-6, Brussels
    Speakers: Fredrik Erixon
    Time: 12:45

    Ukraine will soon go to the polls, and the government’s new programme is naturally a key area for the current debate. The crisis hit Ukraine hard and Gross Domestic Product fell by 15 percent in 2009. The economy is now recovering, but economic growth will not return to pre-crisis levels anytime soon.

  • The Renminbi Valuation and Global Imbalances

    Venue: ECIPE, Rue Belliard 4-6, Brussels
    Speakers: Professor Sylvain PlasschaertnDr. Ulrich Jochheim
    Time: 14:30

    The valuation of the Chinese Renminbi (RMB) continues to cause tension in US-China relations. Although the People’s Bank of China introduced some limited flexibilities ahead of the Toronto G20 meeting, it failed to convince those who accused China of currency manipulation and call for sanctions, possibly authorized by the WTO.

  • Is the Renminbi Undervalued?

    Venue: ECIPE, Rue Belliard 4-6, Brussels
    Speakers: Professor Sylvain Plasschaert
    Time: 15:00

    The debate over China’s currency policy has reached another critical junction: China’s central bank has just dropped its peg to the US dollar to allow for greater currency flexibilities. While it remains to be seen what this move actually will mean for key global exchange rates in future, and for the world economy, it comes after increased pressure on China to revaluate. A bill in the US Congress threatens China with punitive tariffs unless its currency is revalued, and recently the Obama administration reportedly came close to label China a currency manipulator. Europe has also jumped onto this bandwagon, accusing China of boosting its export to Europe with the help of an undervalued currency.
