The EU and U.S. must put the core objectives of the bilateral Trade and Technology Council into implementation, IBM European Government and Regulatory Affairs Senior Manager Amelie Coulet writes in a company blog post. She said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have underscored the urgency to move beyond negotiations surrounding the TTC and prioritize policy deliverables. She urged EU and U.S. officials to prioritize securing sustainable trans-Atlantic data transfers, committing to a nondiscrimination principle, supporting all businesses and consumers, and expanding collaboration.
