In this edition, we hear how the EU is trying to go green but stay competitive and tell you who the most corrupt countries in Europe are.
ADVERTISEMENTWe are joined this weekend by Ben Butters, the Chief Executive Officer at Eurochambres, Cory Bennet, climate editor for POLITICO Europe and Chloé Mikolajczak, a climate and social justice activist. The panel broke down the rumours that the European Commission is set to simplify life for all those doing business in the EU. From the Competitive Compass to various ‘Omnibus’ packages expected soon – the EU executive has promised to focus on deregulation as opposed to more. Climate activist Chloé Mikolajczak thinks this is a big mistake. “It’s making me feel incredibly worried and incredibly angry”, she tells the panel adding that the laws took years of negotiations of compromise to be adopted. The panel also reflected on the EU Trade Commissioner’s visit to Washington DC this week to stave off a full-blown trade war. The EU has said it is open to working with President Trump to lower duties for industrial goods and increase the purchase of US products. “The problem is you never know with Donald Trump. The thing to do with him is you have to take him seriously, but not literally”, Cory Bennet quipped. Watch “Brussels, my love?” in the player above.
