As part of the U.S.-E.U. Trade and Technology Council (TTC), the Investment Screening Working Group is engaging with stakeholders to gain perspectives and input from the business community, thought leaders, law firms, academia, and others to help inform the working group’s efforts. The European Commission’s Directorate General for Trade (DG Trade), U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) and U.S. Department of State (State) virtually co-hosted the first outreach event on December 2, 2021.

The event featured updates from DG Trade, Treasury, and State regarding the overall principles and goals of the TTC and the objectives of this working group, and from Treasury and the Danish Business Authority regarding recent regulatory developments. The meeting was attended by more than 70 participants. The Investment Screening Working Group plans to conduct future outreach events.
