International Affairs Council Program

While consumers are the ultimate decision-makers when it comes to the success of a product in the marketplace, manufacturers and marketers have to design and reformulate new and existing products according to government policy.

Europe is often at the forefront of these policies, influencing legislation that ends up in the U.S., and the European Commission’s current strategy is focused on sustainability.

Hearing directly from Eike Klapper, First Secretary - Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs/Trade and Agriculture Section and Delegation of the European Union to the United States, this session will help attendees understand activity in Europe, so they can better prepare for the future. There will also be an opportunity for Q&A.
