Join the U.S. Commercial Service for a hands-on workshop on succeeding in the European Union. Update your knowledge on important topics including regulatory requirements, cultural issues, distribution channels, and more.
The U.S. and Europe share more than 40 percent of the global economy and transact more than US$1.5 trillion per year in trade and investment. Recent developments in the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rates, have made U.S. exports even more attractive. Yet, as much as opportunities abound in the European Union, navigating the maze successfully poses a continued challenge.
Participation in this conference will allow you to meet key U.S. Government officials and private sector insiders, who have practical and institutional knowledge on exporting to the European Union.
Keynote Speaker: Angelos Pangratis, Deputy Head of Delegation of the European Commission to the USA

- Overview of the European Union, including a status report on resolving transatlantic trade barriers as well as a comprehensive review of the regulatory environment.
- Discussion of how Customs, Distribution, VAT and other tax matters, affect U.S. exports.
