Consesus and transparency on trade agreements

Hearing on how to involve civil society in EU member states when ratifying trade agreements.

In recent years, EU trade policy has become a real topic of debate in civil society at national level: this shows the need to bring trade policy closer to EU citizens. EU member states have different national structures, consultation procedures and methods, as well as ratification processes; however, citizens in most countries do not always seem to be able to fully express their voice in national debates on trade policy. The aim of the event was to: a) assess and examine the different types of consultation procedures existing in Member States; b) explore how civil society and consultative structures, wherever they exist, are informed or consulted on the negotiation and implementation of trade agreements; and c) promote the EESC's experience in the field of EU trade policy.

Our professional photographer Laurie DIEFFEMBACQ, captured the event perfectly at the hearing on "Consensus and transparency in trade agreements". She captured the highlights of the various workshops and panel discussions at the Comité Economique et Social Européen (CESE) or European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).

Working as a professional photographer in the institutions of the European Union in Brussels requires experience, know-how and discretion.

The resulting images help to convey your messages and values, and promote your image, as well as that of your Chairman, senior executives and the many players in your organization.
