Why Europe’s economic dependencies are so risky | The Dip Podcast
Europe wants to protect its factories from trade pressure, insecure supplies and energy shocks. But can it make its economy less vulnerable without making ordinary people pay more?
At the Berlin Global Dialogue, DW speaks with Valdis Dombrovskis, the EU commissioner for economy and productivity, on the choices behind Europe’s economic security strategy. Would Brussels stand up to Washington if another trade confrontation came? And can the EU remove the rules and national barriers holding its own businesses back? #DWbusiness #DWdip
