  How could Trump’s Greenland tariffs hit individual EU countries? (FT)

  View post

  Summary CITP publication

  The US president has threatened to impose 10% tariffs from the beginning of February, on the eight countries (the UK, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands) that have sent military forces to Greenland — rising to 25% on June 1. Trump wants the US to take ownership of the strategically important island. Assuming the tariffs on individual countries did come into force, the EU could be expected to retaliate collectively against the US measures, according to Michael Gasiorek. “We may be coming to the point where countries actually need to and will co-ordinate a response to Trump. Trump has crossed a line in going beyond simply some bilateral market-access [trade] negotiation to try and force Nato countries apart. I cannot see them agreeing to this,” says Gasiorek.

  Competition policy and industrial policy

  View post

  Summary CITP publication

  Series 7, Episode 5 - This episode of Trade Bites looks at competition and industrial policy. China's strong industrial policies and state-backed dominance have fuelled global competition. Recently, this has led to the US, Europe and developed countries, including the UK, implementing much more activist industrial policies to support their own producers and to ensure supplies of strategically important goods. Is a level playing field a luxury that we can no longer afford in these days of geopolitical contention, or is the pendulum swinging too far away from notions of open competition? To discuss these important points are Aditi Sara Verghese (World Economic Forum), Anne-Claire Hoyng (Prosus), Peter Holmes (UKTPO, University of Sussex) and our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex).

  UK Membership of PEM

  View post

  Summary CITP publication

  Series 7, Episode 4 - In today's episode of Trade Bites, we're discussing the Pan-Euro Mediterranean Convention on Rules of Origin (PEM) and whether the UK should join. The PEM makes it easier for UK firms to use inputs from the PEM countries and still get duty free access to the EU, and all the other PEM countries. Having left the EU, the UK is not part of the PEM. The UK Government has launched a consultation on whether or not the UK should accede. Would joining make trade easier for all our manufacturing businesses, or are there any downsides? Would it really make that much difference? And will other nations support the UK’s application if it does decide to apply to join PEM. It turns out the answers are not so straightforward. Listen to the podcast for straight talking (as opposed to straightforward) explanation with Michael Gasiorek (CITP), Anna Jerzewska (DSV / EuroCommerce), Alessandro Marongiu (SMMT) and our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex).
