What is the future of the transatlantic economic relationship? That was the question Susan Danger, CEO, AmCham EU looked to address in her remarks during the event organised by AmCham Luxembourg, together with Deloitte and the Luxembourg American Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, 21 June. Cooperation and collaboration were key themes throughout her remarks, underscoring their importance in generating economic growth.
She continued by strongly condemning the war in Ukraine and praised the close collaboration between the EU and the US in confronting common challenges. She went on to discuss how AmCham EU, as well as the AmChams in Europe network, supports the EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC) as a forum for regulatory and legislative cooperation.
In the spirit of cooperation, AmCham EU and the US Chamber of Commerce, with the support of AmCham Luxembourg and other AmChams, produced the Transatlantic Economy Report 2022. Researched and written independently by Johns Hopkins University researchers, the report confirms what the speakers were highlighting – that the transatlantic relationship is not only resilient, but more important than ever.
The event featured comments from speakers including Daniel S. Hamilton, Senior Fellow, Johns Hopkins University SAIS Foreign Policy Institute (FPI); Casey Mace, Chargé d’Affaires, US Embassy in Luxembourg; John Psaila, CEO, Deloitte Luxembourg; and Paul Schonenberg, Chairman and CEO, AmCham Luxembourg. The tenor of the evening was optimistic, as speakers emphasised the resilience of transatlantic trade and investment in the face of recent crises. In order to push progress forward, however, many of the speakers called on the EU to complete the Single Market, and for the US to remain a reliable, multilaterally minded partner.

What the EU can do to overcome uncertainty in agri-food
At the European Food Forum’s Navigating US Tariffs: Impact on European Food and Drink Trade, Economy and Future Relations, Edouard Coppieters, Senior Policy Adviser, AmCham EU, spoke about the new reality in which US agri-food companies operate. Taking place on Thursday, 9 April, he outlined the continued growth of EU-US agri-trade and the need for the EU to continue to diversify its trade partners, welcoming the recent announcement of deals with Australia and India. Alongside Brando Benifei, MEP (IT, S&D), he noted that tackling the uncertainty created by tariffs is essential and that to this end, the Framework Agreement between the EU and US is a needed stable basis. Although tariffs bring uncertainty, the EU must not lose sight of the predictability steps it can take to ensure it remains competitive and attractive to potential new trading partners.

Delivering simpler, science-based rules for Europe’s agri-food sector
The EU’s agri-food regulatory framework is fragmented and lacks predictability. The Food and Feed Safety Omnibus is a chance to address these shortcomings by reducing delays, improving consistency and easing compliance burdens that limit market access.
Uncertainty discourages investment and slows the uptake of new solutions. A more proportionate approach can improve legal certainty and support more consistent implementation across Member States. At the same time, maintaining a science-based, risk-based approach to trade measures is necessary to safeguard food security and avoid supply disruptions.

Industry calls for ambitious and simplified implementation of the AI Act
Together with 14 other associations, AmCham EU has signed a joint statement on the European Commission’s Digital Omnibus on AI, calling for a clear, simple and innovation-friendly implementation of the AI Act. Co-legislators should swiftly reach an agreement on an ambitious final text that keeps simplification at its core. Measures to streamline overlaps with existing EU legislation and improve legal certainty are essential, alongside targeted adjustments to ensure the framework remains practical. This includes extending grace periods for generative AI labelling requirements, ensuring greater legal clarity for AI systems entering the EU market, preserving the risk-based approach of the AI Act by exempting non high-risk systems from registration, and supporting fixed compliance deadlines for high-risk systems.
