Global Europe - Green Paper on Trade Defence Instruments

Europe's Trade Defence Instruments in a changing global economy - A Green Paper for public
consultation.

The EU Delegation to China organises a presentation of the EU Green Paper on Trade Defence Instruments. The presentation will take place on Thursday 29th March at 15.00 in the EU Delegation, 15 Dongzhimenwai Street, Sanlitun Beijing.

The European Commission has adopted on 6 December a Green Paper to launch reflection on the application of the EU Trade Defence Instruments in light of emerging new realities in the global economic context. This reflection process forms part of the Commission's new Global Europe strategy for European competitiveness.

Comments are invited from all stakeholders in the EU dealing with EU Trade Defence instruments on the questions raised in the Green Paper. Besides EU Member States, the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee this includes for example producers, consumers and users, exporters, importers, the legal community, academics or any other person interested in this field. Third country governments are also invited to respond to this green paper.
