On Tuesday, 20 May, AmCham EU met with Michael McGrath, European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection. The meeting served as an introduction to AmCham EU’s work and an opportunity to hear more about the Commissioner’s current priorities. AmCham EU underlined the importance of legal certainty, proportionality and alignment across upcoming legislation. We also shared updates on our engagement with the Commission on key sustainability, digital and consumer protection files, including outreach to international partners.  

The discussion also touched on broader EU-US economic relations. A stable, open transatlantic environment that avoids barriers is essential for smooth business on both sides of the Atlantic. Representing AmCham EU were Malte Lohan, CEO and Kim Watts, Senior Policy Manager.
