  • Excellent EU policy podcast

    This has become about my favourite European Policy podcast. They really give their guests the space to lay out their ideas, and ask very good questions which feel genuinely without agenda.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trade and Geopolitics: trade policy as a driver for EU competitiveness and resilience in a turbulent era
Q: How should Europe reinvent or adapt WTO-style rules in a world without a functioning global rules base?
He outlined the EU's push for plurilateral arrangements and a coalition approach with like-minded partners to uphold rules-based trade, while continuing to pursue bilateral deals and reform efforts in parallel.
Trade and Geopolitics: trade policy as a driver for EU competitiveness and resilience in a turbulent era
Q: In light of resilience in a turbulent era, with concerns about strategic autonomy and protectionism, is there a risk of Europe becoming more protectionist and is that acceptable?
Olof replied that the EU aims to balance openness with protection of strategic interests, emphasising the need to support European industry and jobs without isolating Europe, and highlighted that this balance is essential to maintain global competitiveness.
Trade and Geopolitics: trade policy as a driver for EU competitiveness and resilience in a turbulent era
Q: Just to open with a broad one, is there anything to be said for the recent agreements with India and Australia that some have criticized for lack in depth?
Olof argued that those agreements are substantial, often deeper than expected, and that the EU seeks to balance depth with pragmatic access, while maintaining core trade principles and long-term economic and values-based objectives.
A World in Crisis: Addressing the Humanitarian Impact of Rising Global Conflicts
Q: What achievement in 30 years of humanitarian work would best symbolize progress toward a horizon without despair?
The enduring courage of families and communities affected by conflict, who continue to respond and support one another, even as the ICRC and its partners strive to uphold laws and norms and deliver aid in increasingly dangerous environments.
A World in Crisis: Addressing the Humanitarian Impact of Rising Global Conflicts
Q: What steps could shift the dial on violence against humanitarian workers and regenerate volunteer engagement?
Protecting civilians, insisting on truthful narratives, and improving safety for aid workers, including verifying claims at checkpoints and countering self-justifying narratives that justify attacks on ambulances and hospitals.
