AmCham EU: priorities for the TTC on export controls cooperation (Consultation response)

AmCham EU speaks for American companies committed to Europe on trade, investment, and competitiveness issues. We believe that the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) can significantly enhance EU-US cooperation by providing a forum for both sides to proactively work through new and emerging issues that arise from the transformation of our economies, including the pervasive impact of new technologies, the digitisation of trade and supply-chain resilience. One of the areas, where the EU-US TTC can and should strive to achieve immediate results is on export controls.

In our paper, we outline priority issues and key recommendations to improve cooperation on export controls within the TTC. Our recommendations focus on a harmonised EU-US export control regime, the removal of non-tariff barriers, pre-defined export control frameworks, the promotion of legal certainty, collaborative export frameworks for joint R&D as well as coordination on intangible technology and software transfers. 

AmCham EU has published its priorities for a plethora of areas that the different working groups of the TTC are active on.
