Free trade and public services

*This event is hosted at the CEEP (European Centre of Employers and Enterprises providing Public Services and Services of General Interest) pavilion.

Organised by CEEP

Engines of growth in a globalised world, free trade agreements are an important vector to connect the world. However, many fears about a potential regulatory "race to the bottom", including for public services, are raised. This session will address this issue, and try to bring some answers on whether free trade is an opportunity to export our European standards, or rather a threat to our quality of life.
