    EU Industrial Policy

    With this conference, we would like to take the opportunity to discuss the role of the service sector and the myriad of challenges it is facing, such as the drive for liberalisation.

    Ukrainian crisis

    Commenting on today's extraordinary EU summit on Ukraine, Greens/EFA co-president Rebecca Harms said: "This summit has fallen short of what is needed, with lots of lip service but little meaningful solidarity.

    Transatlantic Data Flows and the Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)
