The EU is directly exposed to spillovers from the conflict\, but the impact will be more pronounced for countries on its eastern border. Surging commodity prices\, disrupted supply chains\, and unprecedented trade and financial sanctions will all weigh on growth and push inflation higher in the near-term.\n\nWith that said\, key economic indicators show that the European economic expansion overall should remain strong enough to weather these war-related disruptions and continue its recovery. The outlook is clouded by significant uncertainties regarding the outcome of the war in Ukraine\, the impacts of economic sanctions on Russia\, and possible responses from Russia and other major geopolitical actors. It is clear that the war presents many challenges for the EU\, especially over the medium-term\, and it drives home the need to accelerate the energy transition. Securing clean\, reliable sources of energy are now not simply an environmental priority\, but a matter of geopolitical security for Europe.\n\nIt is often said that Europe will be forged in crises but with challenges come opportunity. The continent is responding with solidarity\, strengthening and deepening the European Union while providing aid to Ukraine. Forceful policy actions are reinforcing a broad-based economic recovery by supporting business and household incomes\, encouraging investment\, and promoting the green and digital transitions.\n\nJoin us for an in-depth discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing the European economy. Our panel will begin with an update on the European Commission’s newly released Spring 2022 Economic Forecast\, the first to factor in the war in Ukraine and associated sanctions on Russia.\n\nWe will then discuss the major challenges and opportunities facing Europe\, covering a variety of possible scenarios and key questions facing policy makers:\n\n● What is the inflation outlook and how should policy makers respond?\n● How should the EU adjust its fiscal stance to deal with the impact of the war?\n● What policy tools are available to ease the uneven impact of the war and refugee inflow on different EU member states?\n● How are businesses likely to adapt their supply chains?\n● What are the main EU policy developments in the energy sector?\n● What does the war mean for the broader global economic and financial architecture that has been in place since World War Two?\n\nSPEAKERS:\n● Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\n\nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT | 19:00h – 20:00h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACCFL Members: Free\nEACCFL non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nThis Webinar is funded by the European Union\n\n \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-quarterly-eu-economic-update-forged-in-crisis-how-the-war-in-ukraine-may-strengthen-the-european-union-the-transatlantic-relationship/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220511T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220511T110000 DTSTAMP:20260530T221912 CREATED:20220503T134507Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220503T134507Z UID:35315-1652263200-1652266800@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR I Dealing with Digital Assets: Business Realities vs. Knowns & Unknowns DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Program brought to you by EACC New York\n\nInterest in digital assets (incl. digital currencies) and the technologies behind this phenomenon has been steadily growing both in the EU and the United States.

Our panelists will discuss the practical perspective on the commercial use of digital assets and shed light on regulatory issues and the legal framework around digital assets (incl. Issue Spotting) on both sides of the Atlantic.\n\nThe discussion will offer a comparative assessment of EU and US legislation including the European Commission’s Regulation of Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) and the United States’ Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets and related Canadian law.\n\nOur panel will raise the most important issues investors and businesses need to be aware of incl. the role of the digital asset intermediaries to create confidence on the market. We will end with a look into the future to see if we are at risk of bartering Pearls for Glass Pebbles or to elaborate on the chances for digital currencies to once become the ultimate medium of exchange.\n\nTopics:\n\nI.

However\, the ongoing global pandemic and the past limitations on international business travel and employee transfers\, have exacerbated an already complex immigration situation and will most likely continue impacting global organizations.\n\nIn fact\, in a survey conducted in September by the EACC Network\, nearly 90% of respondents said the travel restrictions alone impacted their company/organization/operations\, with 74% answering that the impact had been ‘significant’ or ‘noticeable’.\n\nJoin us in person on November 30th for a discussion on immigration\, the new international travel rules and what long-term effects the border closures\, immigration back-logs and on-going Pandemic are having on labor shortages and talent retention for companies here in the United States.\n\n**COVID protocols will be observed**\n\n \n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\nUpdate on international travel rules\n\n What was the impact of the US travel bans for the airline industry and international travel?\n What are the new rules and what is their impact a few weeks into their implementation?\n What can be expected with regard to international travel in the next few months and longer term?\n\nImmigration update\n\n How does the lifting of the country-specific travel restrictions in favor of a global vaccination requirement impact business travel?\n What is the residual impact\, if any\, have these changes had on Consular and Visa services and employees needing nonimmigrant visas? What about with USCIS?\n What does this all mean for Employers? Is a National Interest Exception (NIE) still required?  How does it affect short term business travel and international transfer of employees?\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Scott Bettridge – Immigration Practice Chair at Cozen O’Connor’s Office in Miami.\n Peter Cerda – Regional Vice President for the Americas\, International Air Transport Association (IATA)\n\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES\n\nScott Bettridge\n\nScott Bettridge chairs Cozen O’Connor’s Immigration Practice and represents both corporate and individual clients in all aspects related to U.S. immigration law.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\nThere is a lot of momentum behind the recovery and we should see some solid growth numbers for the EU economies over the remainder of the year and into 2022. High vaccination rates and cautious public health policies are now paying growth dividends across the EU. With that said\, the pace of the recovery is moderating as supply shortages and logistical bottlenecks weigh on output. Inventories are very low and many manufacturers simply can’t get the supplies they need. On the labor market side\, it has been challenging to fill open positions due to skills mismatches.\n\nIn other words\, short-term demand policy seems to have worked well both in Europe and the US. Savings rates are high and investment is growing. But Covid-related supply constraints are holding back growth and look set to last longer than expected. Policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic now need to focus on the medium- to long-term. In this vein\, the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility [RRF] will finance a lot of new investment in green and digital technologies that will boost growth and productivity further while ‘future-proofing’ the economic structure by linking RRF funds to structural reform. RRF roll-out has already started and policy makers as well as the private sector are optimistic\, especially about the speed of the green and digital transitions.\n\nThe EU Commission still expects supply shortages to be temporary\, but in the meantime\, they are feeding into higher headline inflation\, and there is uncertainty over how to effectively address these bottlenecks in the short term. Rising energy prices are also causing a headache for policy makers in Europe\, where many countries depend on imported gas. This raises important strategic questions\, including whether green investments will smooth out or aggravate tensions in the energy market.\n\nJoin us for an in-depth analysis of the European economy and the newly released autumn 2021 Economic Forecast. Our panel will discuss the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-October and weighs the prospects for European and global growth against a range of potential risks.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n● Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]\n\nTIME:\nWednesday\, November 17th\, 2021\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT / 19:00 h – 20:00 h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC Friends: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nThis webinar is funded by the European Union.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-quarterly-eu-economic-update-a-rocky-road-to-recovery-can-the-recovery-resilience-fund-be-the-game-changer-the-eu-economy-needs/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211109T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211109T120000 DTSTAMP:20260530T221912 CREATED:20210923T150601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211024T212922Z UID:34266-1636455600-1636459200@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Conversation on Cross-Atlantic Data Transfer Challenges in a Post ‘Schrems II’ Era DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Program brought to you by EACC Netherlands.\n\nThe Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) and Microsoft to explore the impact of the Court of Justice of the European Union’s Decision on businesses of all sizes and what companies can do if they are held responsible for their government’s actions.\n\nThe Court’s “Schrems II” decision in 2020 reaches almost every company that touches EU residents ́ personal data.

The end of her chancellorship and with that new leadership in Berlin\, injects a degree of uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic about the general course and the new champions who may fill the gap her departure will create.\n\nThe 2008 financial crisis\, Brexit\, the pandemic and the rise of authoritarian regimes have challenged the values of the European Union. After a turbulent 2020 election cycle\, the US is nearly one year into a new administration that is managing both domestic and international crises.\n\nOur Panel will discuss how the upcoming change in German leadership may affect not only the power dynamic within Europe but also more broadly\, how next German Chancellor and new elections elsewhere across Europe\, may change the transatlantic relationship.\n\nWe will explore if the change at the top will offer a breath of fresh air not only for Germany\, but also for Europe and the Transatlantic collaboration and if a new coalition will be able to rally Europe to step up and become a more active business & political partner to the United States.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Daniel Benjamin\, President\, AMERICAN ACADEMY in Berlin & former Coordinator for Counter-terrorism at the United States Department of State (moderator)\n• Peter Fischer-Bollin\, Head of Department Analysis and Consulting\, KONRAD ADENAUER SIFTUNG\n• Anthony L.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACC Netherlands.\n\nThe effects of the Covid restrictions on the supply chain can’t be missed and will hopefully be temporary. The consequences of climate change are presumed to be broader and more lasting.\n\nMore than 50% of the top 10 risks listed in The Global Risk Report of the World Economic Forum are climate related. This program will focus on the foreseeable and unforeseeable climate-related challenges for transatlantic economies and their businesses. Hence\, business leaders have a responsibility to integrate the impact of climate change in their company’s risk assessment and strategy.\n\nTherefore\, the program will be streamlined along the following questions:\n\n What do we see happening?\n What is it impacting?\n How to prepare/prevent and which measures do other companies already undertake?\n\nFor whom is this webinar?\n\nThis program is organized for Supervisory and (Non-)Executive Board Members of international companies active in transatlantic business and invited professionals of the EACC network.\n\nFormat:\nThe webinar is split in 2 sessions of 45 min. each:\n\n Part 1-2: Fireside chat with keynote speakers for all registrees.\n4.00pm – 4.45pm CET | 10.00am – 10.45am ET\n Part 2-2: Expert conversation between Supervisory and (Non-)Executive Board Members and keynotes\, for exchanging opinions and experience.\n4.45pm – 5.30pm CET | 10.45am – 11.30am ET\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n Louise van Schaik\, Head of Unit EU & Global Affairs\, Clingendael Institute.\n Roderick de la Houssaye\, Chair\, Fenex\n Jacques Buith\, Global lead partner for the United States\, Deloitte and EU Green Deal Advisor.

But how companies address ESG is becoming less prescriptive and requires more tailoring of the risks and opportunities respective of their business strategy and embedded into their culture of compliance in order to ensure a sustainable approach.\n\nUnderstanding and applying ESG standards and regulations – The universe of ESG standards is wide and often confusing while country-specific regulations are rolling out at a quick clip. We discuss approaches for understanding which ESG standards may be most relevant to your business and current and emerging regulations to address now. We will also discuss ratings and how to align with standards reporting.\n\nDeveloping ESG metrics and goals for now and for a sustainable future – Prevailing market sentiment has been and still continues to focus on using metrics for measuring ESG performance\, primarily for climate and carbon goals. However\, without properly tying metrics back to strategic initiatives and understanding the explicit financial impact\, the measures can prove to be meaningless for sustainability and building a more resilient organization. We will further explore operational opportunities for implementing ESG initiatives in procurement\, supply chain\, and as part of asset management.\n\nESG Pitfalls: Understanding disclosure\, green-washing\, and dispute risks\n• What regulations require non-financial and financial disclosures and where?\n• What is green-washing and how can companies mitigate the risk?\n• How to know about risks and avoid litigation pertaining to ESG disclosures and operations?\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Anna Athanasopoulou\, Head of Unit Proximity\, Social Economy\, Creative Industries\, DG Internal Market\, Industry\, Entrepreneurship and SMEs\, EUROPEAN COMMISSION\n• Brooke Hopkins\, Managing Director\, ALIXPARTNERS LLP (Moderator)\n• Maureen Kline\, VP Public Affairs & Sustainability\, PIRELLI TIRE NORTH AMERICA\n• Fabio Massimo Natalucci\, Deputy Director\, INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND\n• Annette Michelle (Shelli) Willis\, Partner\, TROUTMAN PEPPER\, LLP\n\nTIME:\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT / 16:00 h – 17:00 h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-responsible-capitalism-the-esg-integration-balancing-act/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210922T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210922T120000 DTSTAMP:20260530T221912 CREATED:20210707T183026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210708T133347Z UID:34142-1632308400-1632312000@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Patentability of AI Driven Inventions: The Push for Legislature to Play Catch up DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Program Brought to you by EACCNY.\n\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is being used more and more to develop new inventions without human aid.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACC Florida\n\nExpanding operations into new territories around the world has traditionally offered important commercial opportunities for both for multinational corporations and SMEs. Whereas the trend toward globalization was well underway\, the COVID-19 pandemic marked an abrupt halt\, leading to a global recession\, a severe disruption of global trade and a sharp decrease in foreign direct investments.\n\nSome countries are still managing the crisis. Others are slowly emerging from it with governments mostly focusing on supporting their domestic economies. Companies around the world however are looking at what commercial opportunities are available to them in other territories and considering how the sanitary crisis and its consequences is impacting plans to expand.\n\nLooking at Europe and the United States\, with a focus on financial transactions\, accounting\, taxation and human resources\, the panel will discuss the push towards more responsible governance\, how the tendency toward international alignment and cooperation between jurisdictions is being challenged by an increase in local\, sometimes idiosyncratic\, administrative and regulatory complexities and why these trends provide both challenges and opportunities for businesses considering expanding operations to other territories.\n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\nTrends toward more responsible Governance. When planning to expand\, companies need to consider the following:\n\n A shift away from traditional offshoring impacting the choice of new locations;\n Increased protection of employees as businesses are encouraged to be responsible employers;\n An increase in mandated use of third parties;\n Compliance requirements as part of market entry strategy with stricter penalties for non-compliance being implemented especially in more complex jurisdictions;\n Personal consequences for non-compliance on directors.\n\nTrends in international vs. local regulatory and administrative complexity. Issues include:\n\n\n Meeting global obligations with the trend toward standardization via regulations such as CRS\, UBO and FATCA;\n Managing international reporting requirements vs. local ones such as the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS);\n Navigating the complexities of local/regional jurisdictions opening up to international business while simultaneously enacting rules potentially impacting investments such as the European Commission’s Proposal for Regulating Foreign Subsidies Control;\n Understanding the domination of local legislation in some business areas such as accounting and incorporations;\n Managing the international and local complexities of assembling a workforce.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Juan Botin\, Project Director – Grupo Santander (Madrid)\n Jan Willem van Drimmelen\, Chief Commercial Officer & Head of North America – TMF Group (Amsterdam)\n Edoardo Gambaro\, Partner – Greenberg Traurig (Milano)\n Tyler Lavin\, VP\, Development and Investment – North America at citizenM hotels (New York)\n Mike Morroni\, Head of Global Client Directors and North America Head of Business Development – TMF Group (Miami) [Moderator]\n\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES\n\n\nJuan Botín\n\nJuan´s whole career has been linked to the International sphere.

Since then\, there have been counter-complaints and negotiations and appeals. Meanwhile\, a global pandemic has walloped the aerospace industry\, and China is making a serious run at getting into the civilian airliner market.\n\nIn March 2021 the new U.S. Administration reached agreements with the UK and the EU to “pause” tariffs in the dispute for an initial period of four months to give negotiators time to see if a settlement can be reached. Three months into the pause\, what progress has been made (if any)? Is there a settlement to be had\, and if so\, what might it look like? And if not\, what would a return to tariffs mean for the aerospace industry specifically and for transatlantic (and global) trade in general?\n\nOur expert panelists – from both sides of the Atlantic — will review the state of play offer perspectives on the way forward. Our attorneys will review the history of the dispute and summarize the specific complaints as well as update us on the status of the talks\, while our manufacturers will review how the issue has impacted their firms in the past as well as consider how a resolution (or non-resolution) might affect future operational and investment decisions.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Jan de Beer\, Office Member-in-Charge\, Frost Brown Todd LLC\n Philippe Garnier\, CEO and General Manager – SAFRAN Landing Systems\n Andrew Tetley\, Partner – Reed Smith LLP\n\nREGISTER HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-is-the-end-in-sight-17-years-of-the-airbus-boeing-dispute/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
