The study examines the aspects of the European Union’s competitiveness and trade policy
related to the
successive Hungarian Presidency. It primarily aims to explore the situation, problem
areas and opportunities
of the Hungarian EU Presidency concerning two areas. It provides an overview of the
priorities and
related results of the previous consecutive presidency periods as regards two topics.
Competitiveness
is a comprehensive concept that interweaves and connects several operational areas
of the European
Commission, thus presenting the network of relationships of these areas, with regard
to trade policy
aspects. The current European challenges of competitiveness and trade policy create
the possibility of
continuing active presidency activities in these two areas. These are as follows:
EU–China conflicts in the
field of corporate subsidy; the use of Eastern opening to offset decoupling; compliance
with carbon dioxide
quotas; national distortions; small and big companies; innovation clusters; international
trade negotiations;
improving the commercial position of labour-intensive agricultural sectors.
