🇪🇺 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's visit to Montevideo 🇺🇾 to meet MERCOSUR leaders suggests the long-awaited EU-Mercosur Association Agreement is nearing finalisation. "The EU-Mercosur Association Agreement is a significant economic agreement, which has the potential to create huge opportunities for sectors such as machinery, such as agriculture, chemicals and services." 🗣️ Oscar Guinea
About us
The European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) is an independent and non-profit policy research think tank dedicated to trade policy and other international economic policy issues of importance to Europe. It was founded in 2006 by Fredrik Erixon and Razeen Sally. ECIPE is rooted in the classical tradition of free trade and an open world economic order. Progressive reduction of barriers to the movement of goods, services, capital and people across borders creates prosperity, and improves the conditions for peace, security and individual freedom. But discussion and advocacy of abstract ideas is far from enough. ECIPE’s intention is to subject international economic policy, particularly in Europe, to rigorous scrutiny of costs and benefits, and to present conclusions in a concise, readily accessible form to the European public. We aim to foster a “culture of evaluation” – largely lacking in Europe – so that better public awareness and understanding of complex issues in concrete situations can lead to intelligent discussion and improved policies. That will be ECIPE’s contribution to a thriving Europe in an open world.

India faces a policy dilemma with AI: balancing export competitiveness with social concerns like automation's impact and discriminatory decisions. Transitional guidelines show a pathway using existing laws, avoiding AI-specific rules. Unlike the EU, India must chart its own path for AI, focusing on rapid adoption and open-source solutions for its IT sector. ✍️ "As India's digital economy grew and positioned itself as a major technology exporter, its national interests are unique as a nascent industrialised economy."

‼️ Key #Takeaways from our ECIPE Webinar on #Cloud #Cybersecurity, #Sovereignty, the #EUCS, and #EUCompetitiveness ‼️ On December 5th, we hosted a solid discussion with Maxime Ricard, Marcus Corry, and Damien Rilliard on striking the right balance between cybersecurity, digital sovereignty, and open markets in the EU. Here are the #key #insights: 1️⃣ Cybersecurity ≠ Sovereignty: Robust cybersecurity is essential, but equating it with digital sovereignty would lead to legal market fragmentation, particularly harming start-ups and scale-ups that drive EU innovation. 2️⃣ Disproportionate Localisation Requirements: Mandating EU-based headquarters, staff, or contracts for cloud providers is massively disproportionate. It would limit access to the best global cloud and AI technologies, stifling EU industries across the board. 3️⃣ EU Competitiveness Gap: The EU is running a USD 1.4 trillion gap in ICT infrastructure investment compared to the US. Addressing the ICT and cloud investment shortfall is crucial for the EU to remain globally competitive. Discriminatory cloud cybersecurity policies would exacerbate this divide. 4️⃣ Opportunities for the Public Sector: Advanced cloud technologies and AI can substantially transform public services for the better, boosting budgetary savings and quality of government services #without compromising cybersecurity or competitiveness. 5️⃣ #Transparency #Matters: Policymakers must stop negotiating the EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCS) behind closed doors. Transparency is vital to ensure policies reflect diverse stakeholder interests and #foster #trust in #EU #institutions. Let’s ensure EU policies empower innovation, foster competitiveness, and support digital growth, #not #hinder it ‼️ #Rewatch event on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/eiMigZ-8 #Cybersecurity #CloudComputing #EUCompetitiveness #DigitalTransformation #ECIPE European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE)

#ECIPEMediaRundown ✍ David Henig writes his latest "Perspectives" columns for Borderlex Publishing Ltd on how the EU can do better than defining its economic security with stray defensive policies and how new Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maroš Šefčovič must develop a coherent doctrine grounded in openness. Read his full opinion ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d7qKJGss 🌎 Next, all eyes were set on Montevideo as an EU delegation led by President Ursula von der Leyen and Commissioner Šefčovič reached an agreement with MERCOSUR leaders on the long-awaited EU-Mercosur Association Agreement.

💻 Yesterday, we hosted a webinar where we looked into how the EU and US have consistently promoted fast innovation and open markets in telecommunications. With current geopolitical significance, advanced telecommunications play a vital role in modern warfare and address concerns about competition from China affecting security structures. 🗣️ Dr Matthias Bauer moderated a conversation that featured Jonathan Barnett (USC Gould School of Law), Andrei Iancu (Sullivan & Cromwell LLP) and Fredrik Erixon.

📊 The World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO Global Innovation Index 2024 places Switzerland and Sweden at the top for global innovation. 🇨🇭🇸🇪 These leaders continue to excel with unique strengths in their innovation journeys. "Switzerland and Sweden are undoubtedly more similar than different, yet Switzerland has consistently maintained a clear advantage in both prosperity and economic competitiveness. Sweden’s economic growth, which gained notable traction during the 1990s and early 2000s, seems to have slowed in recent years." ✍️ Andrea Dugo looks at the differences between the two countries in a new blog ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dUwCd4RF
