Welcome to the new European Parliament!

From Thursday, 6 June to Sunday, 9 June, European citizens exercised their right to vote, electing their representatives in the European Parliament for the next five years. The American Chamber of Commerce to the EU (AmCham EU) congratulates newly elected and re-elected Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).

As representatives of the American business community in Europe, AmCham EU looks forward to partnering with the European Parliament. MEPs play a crucial role in advancing EU decision-making and connecting with citizens across the continent.

Safeguarding the attractiveness of Europe for investment is an urgent priority for this mandate. It will determine the EU’s ability to strengthen its economy, improve the wellbeing of citizens and tackle global challenges, such as climate change and security.

AmCham EU’s Agenda for Action outlines the three priority areas that should drive the European political agenda over the next five years:

  • A competitive, sustainable and digital Single Market;

  • A strong and resilient Europe on the international scene; and

  • An equitable and democratic Europe.

From the newsroom: what stories will shape 2026?

On Tuesday, 27 January, AmCham EU was joined by senior journalists from Bloomberg, EURACTIV, the Financial Times, and POLITICO to explore the issues set to dominate the headlines in 2026. The reporters first took stock of what has happened in the past weeks – a year already marked by instability, policy uncertainty and a deteriorating transatlantic relationship, before turning to the consequences of these shifts. Afterwards they examined deepening geopolitical fragmentation and the realignment of global trade, and how these trends are reshaping competitiveness and policy priorities. 

The panel included Henry Foy, Brussels Bureau Chief, Financial Times; Matthew Karnitschnig, Editor-in-Chief, EURACTIV; Suzanne Lynch, Brussels Bureau Chief, Bloomberg and Joanna Roberts, Senior EU Policy Editor, POLITICO. The discussion was moderated by Thibaut L'Ortye, Senior Director of Public Affairs, AmCham EU.
