SUMMARY:Navigating the Recovery: How Europe is Coming out Stronger from the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The road to recovery remains beset with challenges\, but Europe will come out stronger from the pandemic recession. \n\nThe long shutdown was a high\, but necessary price to pay to slow down the progression of the pandemic. Despite recent signs of resurgence\, Europe overall has been fairly successful in flattening the curve of contagions. The unprecedented output contraction has left many EU economies struggling with high fiscal needs and the perspective of sluggish growth. To facilitate a more even recovery\, EU leaders have agreed on an unprecedented EU-level policy response\, which despite its temporary nature may carry the seed of a stronger fiscal union.\n\n Join top EU economists in Washington\, D.C. as they discuss the outlook for the European economy\, the key measures taken by the European Union\, and some of the risks facing the economic recovery. The presentation will include a detailed look at the European Commission’s Summer Economic Forecast\, discuss the details of the historic agreement on the Recovery Plan and other policy measures put forward by the European Commission and the European Central Bank. \n\nThe program will offer an opportunity for Q&A. \n\nSPEAKERS: \n\n 	Kris Orsini\, Counselor 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\, EUROPEAN AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NEW YORK [Moderator] \n\nThis Webinar is funded by the European Union and is free for EACC-Members and EACC non-members.

SUMMARY:Immigration Update - Visa Options for Europeans and Canadians in the Age of COVID-19 & in the Light of Recent Developments
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nAs of April 22\, a temporarily halt on immigration known as the “COVID-19 Proclamation” came into effect; suspending all routine visa services at U.S. embassies and consulates. This measure\, in addition to the many changes to the U.S. immigration system ordered in 2019 by the current U.S. Administration\, has had a significant impact on the lives of millions of immigrants living legally in the United States.\n\nImmigration Reform (2019) was designed to slow legal immigration and to strengthen the Department of Homeland Security’s ability to enforce immigration laws\, create obstacles in the immigration process for some\, and streamline the path to obtain immigration benefits for others. Some of these changes are taking effect in 2020\, and even more changes may be on the horizon.\n\nJoin our panel for an update on U.S. immigration and how it may affect you and your business or your ability to conduct business in the United States.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER” style=”flat” color=”primary” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/2815929353634/WN_NSkHMubNSv6c3g_-lMz-TA|target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:STRANDED IN THE USA OR EUROPE? COVID-19 TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]COVID-19 TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS\n\nImpact on foreign business travelers\, executives and their employers\n\nCOVID-19 has left visitors\, business travelers and executives stranded in their country of destination – be it in Europe or the United States – and potentially subjecting those individuals and their employers to that nation’s income tax. Likewise\, employers confronted with stranded foreign employees on temporary missions must handle any consequences of over-staying a visa or a temporary work contract in compliance with immigration and employment laws. Some countries have relaxed some of these rules while others have yet to provide the necessary guidance.\n\nJoin us for a discussion of some of those situations and the various relief measures introduced and how they work. We will be having a closer look at the implications for employers and individuals in the United States and Europe.\n\n \n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:\n\nTaxation of Employers and Individuals\n\n 	What are the taxation rules in the United States?\n 	What are the current relief measures in the United States?\n 	What are the common taxation rules in Europe?\n 	What is the effect of the OECD recommendations?\n 	Can these stranded Individuals give rise to a permanent establishment of the Employer?\n 	Have any remedies been applied by countries?\n\n \n\nImmigration\n\n 	What can I do if I am unable to depart the U.S. before my authorized period of admission expires?\n 	What are acceptable ‘business visitor’ activities?\n 	Due to the impact of COVID-19 on business operations\, employers are dealing with layoffs\, furloughs\, or termination of employees.  How does this impact employees on nonimmigrant work visas?\n 	I planned on going to the U.S. Consulate abroad to apply for a new visa stamp.  Can I still go?\n\n \n\nSPEAKERS:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”32749″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Curtis Best is a Managing Director in Andersen Tax’s New York Office.

SUMMARY:The U.S. Wayfair Decision: Untangling the Web of U.S. Sales Tax and What European Businesses Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, more and more businesses transactions are being taken online. When selling goods or services into the United States\, you may have to collect sales tax for that transaction in each state your client resides.\n\nNo longer do you need to have a physical presence – or “nexus” – in the U.S. to be sales tax obligatory. It all started with the U.S. Supreme Court decision South Dakota v. Wayfair on June 21\, 2018. The so called Wayfair Decision allows states to mandate that businesses with more than 200 transactions or $100\,000 in-state sales\, collect and remit sales taxes on transactions in the state\, whether the business has a physical presence in the state or not. The new law rather allows the state to tax businesses based on the customer’s location and the amount of sales\, not the location of the business. Many states followed South Dakota\, resulting in a collection of similar but at the same time wildly varying tax laws apply and doing business in the U.S. all of a sudden feels like doing business in “50 different countries”.\n\nRegister now to find out what the U.S. Wayfair Decision means for European businesses in the United States and how the legislation affects businesses across the country.\n\n \n\n[vc_btn title=”REGISTER” style=”flat” color=”primary” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8115880791858/WN_31ay7lM2Qlmo8XvW11cFsA||target:%20_blank|”]

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)
