Invitation: EU Enlargement – What’s in it for Business?
Kontaktperson
The European Union is at a historic turning point. Ukraine and Moldova are expediting accession negotiations, and some Western Balkan countries have set ambitious timelines for EU accession. But what does this mean for Europe’s future and for European businesses?
With the distinguished participation of Marta Kos, European Commissioner for Enlargement, we are pleased to invite you to attend a high-level event examining the economic consequences of the next round of enlargement.
How will EU Enlargement impact economic growth, competitiveness and the functioning of the Single Market? And how can candidate countries influence business opportunities, risks and supply chains?
