SUMMARY:What are the legal FDI implications of COVID-19 in Europe and the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This EACC webinar is brought to you by the EACC New York. \n\nCOVID-19 has not only significantly slowed down social life\, but economies as well. All over the world\, competition authorities have felt the need to temporarily adjust their regulations and tighten their scrutiny. They have to balance between protecting the nation’s economy and stimulating recovery\, while still allowing for collaboration and cross-border trade and investments. The Foreign Direct Investment regulations in Europe are seeing exemptions in certain forms of cooperation\, allowing state aids under certain conditions\, but also increased restrictions in acquisitions to avoid ailing firms to fall into foreign hands. \n\nIn the U.S.\, COVID-19 has affected and will continue to affect examinations of foreign investment into the United States by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In particular\, the pandemic may lead to additional scrutiny of foreign investments in the U.S. health\, biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. In addition\, debt restructuring transactions and opportunities to invest in distressed assets will probably be on the rise. Both foreign investors and lenders should assess if these transactions may be within the jurisdiction of CFIUS and\, if so\, whether a filing must or should be made. \n\nOur panel will discuss: \n\n● Overview of the various rules related to FDI [EU] and CFIUS [U.S.] \n\n● Recent COVID-19 related changes – Expanding the list of relevant sectors – Including acquisitions in sectors other than Defense and Security (EU) – Expanding the list of notifiable transactions \n\n● Interactions with EU Regulation on FDI \n\nSPEAKERS: \n\n● Francesco Maria Salerno\, Partner\, GIANNI\, ORIGONI\, GRIPPO\, CAPPELLI & PARTNERS \n\n● Jeanine McGuinness\, Partner\, ORRICK \n\n● Jonathan Shames\, Global Client Service Partner\, PE & Geostrategic Business Group\, EY [Moderator] \n\nREGISTRATION FEE: This webinar is free of charge for EACCNY members and EACCNY non-members.

SUMMARY:Trade Disputes\, Steel\, Bags and Wine: how the US tariffs are impacting transatlantic trade
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In 2018\, the US set import tariffs on steel and aluminum from China and the EU. In 2019\, further tariffs were imposed on EU goods such as wine\, cheese\, motorcycles\, luxury items. On July 16\, 2020\, in reaction to France’s plan to impose a Digital Service Tax on e-commerce companies\, the United States Trade Representative threatened to impose additional duties of 25% as of January 2021 on products from France such as handbags\, make-up and soap.

What is the impact on trade from Spain?\n 	As a response to France’s plan to impose a Digital Services Tax on e-commerce companies\, what is the reaction to the US threat to impose 25% additional tariff on certain goods from France?\n 	What are the perspectives for a compromise between the EU and US?\n 	How are these trades disputes impacting large multinational companies\, their brands and global supply chains?\n 	What is the impact on smaller companies and/or importers of goods? And what about the end consumer?\n 	What strategies can be put into place to mitigate the impact of these trade disputes and additional tariff burden not to mention the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on supply chains\, suppliers\, products\, etc …\n 	What does local impact look like with the example of Florida\, a trade hub into the US and Latin America?\n\nPanelists:\n\n 	Francisco Garzón: Trade Commissioner of Spain in Miami\n 	Peter Quinter: Shareholder\, GrayRobinson\, Miami\n 	Laura Siegel Rabinowitz: Shareholder\, Greenberg Traurig\, New York – Moderator\n 	Lynn Usdan: Senior Vice President\, Ethics and Compliance/Corporate Affairs at LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”33104″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Francisco Javier Garzón Morales\n\nFrancisco is the Trade Commissioner for the Trade Commission of Spain in Miami.

SUMMARY:Data Protection -- California's CCPA and the EU's GDPR
DESCRIPTION:Please click here to view the Webinar.\nWhat U.S. and European Companies Need to Know\, Especially as Companies And Their Staff Go “Virtual” for an Indefinite Amount of Time\n\nDo you have data protection concerns? Does the CCPA apply to you? How does it differ from the GDPR\, the EU’s data protection regime? Can you prepare for both at the same time? Do “exemptions” in the CCPA for healthcare\, financial services\, and non-profit corporations mean that the new law is of no consequence in these sectors? Are there other state laws which mirror or differ from the requirements of the CCPA or the GDPR?\n\nIf you are a European company doing business in the United States with offices here or any company with questions about these data protection regimes\, this Webinar is for you! It will offer an introduction into the new California Consumer Privacy Act\, how it impacts European and US companies doing business in the United States\, what similarities / differences exist with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and more. In fact\, as we all “go virtual” for an indefinite amount of time\, understanding these two regimes might become more important than ever!\n\nSPEAKERS:\nKate Black | Shareholder | Greenberg Traurig (Miami)\nBrian Kint | Partner | Cozen O’Connor (Philadelphia)\nCécile Martin | Managing Partner | Ogletree Deakins International (Paris)
