Summary ECO May 3, 2021 at 12.00 with Tobias Ketterer, General Secretariat European Commission, Policy Coordinator/Department Strategic Foreign Policy Issues (incl. G7/G20)

Subject: EU-China-US: What is the EU's strategy in this triangle?

EU-China Relations:
1. Working with China to support effective multilateralism and combat climate change
2. Commitment to peace, security and sustainable economic development worldwide
3. Building more balanced and reciprocal trade and investment relationships
4. Strengthening the competitiveness of the Union and ensuring a level playing field
5. Strengthening the security of critical infrastructure and the technology base

Analysis of the geopolitical situation:
• The US, EU and China are important global players
• No bi-polar world as a solution to global problems, the approach must be more complex
• Note the size of the population as an important factor, so India as a global player should also be considered on an equal footing
• Reform of the WTO must be initiated
• EU canon of values ​​as an important, non-negotiable benchmark
• Respond to China's advances with intelligent, international and democratic approaches
• State subsidies and mergers in the economy must be coordinated fairly

In order to further develop our Europa Café online series thematically, we will also be dealing with the topic of India from early summer 2021.

  • Addition: Inflation is stronger than before the euro?

    No. The euro has been around for 25 years. On average, the Eurosystem (ECB + national central banks) achieved the inflation target significantly better between 1999 and 2020 than was the case before. The phase of current inflation as a result of the Corona crisis and the supply bottlenecks and the energy crisis has driven up prices worldwide in 2021 and 2022. Inflation has been falling continuously since the end of 2022 and is approaching 2% again.
    In addition, the common currency has given Europe stability in various crises.
    The common currency supports the domestic market and has helped Germany achieve strong export performance.

  • I would like to add to the minutes of the “Europe Now!” discussion group that we participants also debated how “natural” Europe has become, especially for us younger people. Many of us don't know any different. Travel without borders, pay in euros, no customs fees when shopping online, we hardly know any other way. It is important to demonstrate these freedoms in order to arouse interest in Europe.
    Likewise, the majority of the group agreed that we are not afraid, but rather feel concern and uncertainty when we observe current developments.

    • As we were able to determine, the half-life of such rounds is not sufficient to fill a forum even remotely. Where non-binding has become a principle, you really have to think about completely new communication channels.
