Zukunftsweisend oder wettbewerbsbehindernd?: Das neue EU-Lieferkettengesetz unter der Lupe
Am 23. Februar 2022 hat die Europäische Kommission ihren lang erwarteten Entwurf für eine Richtlinie über die Sorgfaltspflichten von Unternehmen im Bereich der Nachhaltigkeit, weitläufig bekannt als EU-Lieferkettengesetz, vorgestellt, der darauf abzielt, den Grundstein für ein nachhaltiges und verantwortungsvolles unternehmerisches Verhalten in allen globalen Wertschöpfungsketten zu legen.
European competitiveness: Exploiting potential for sustainable growth
Hubertus Bardt / Sandra Parthie / Christian Rusche
The EU's position as a major global economic power is increasingly under threat. On the one hand, this is a consequence of the crises that the EU has faced in the last two decades. In particular, these include the global financial crisis (2007-2009), the euro crisis (2010-2012), the refugee crisis (2015-2016), Brexit (2016-2020), the Corona pandemic since 2020 and the war in Ukraine from 2022.

Protectionism is a dead-end street for Europe, climate neutrality is the key
Disruption, transition, transformation, structural change – Europeans today face several megatrends – climate change and the need to decarbonise our economies; digitalisation and the need to re-think workplace organisation; de-globalisation and the need to remain economically relevant, writes Sandra Parthie, Head of the IW Brussels Office.
Livestream debate: Rising inflation – is it here to stay?
The recent surge in inflation has sparked a sometimes polarizing debate among central bankers, analysts, policymakers and the wider public. In July 2021, the ECB changed its inflation objective to a symmetric 2% target over the medium term. But euro area inflation has surged to 5% in December.
EU’s Economy after Corona: How can recovery and structural change succeed?
With „NextGenerationEU”, the EU provides comprehensive grants and loans for public investments and reforms in its Member States. At least 37% of the overall amount should be spend on forward-looking investments and structural reforms in favour of climate protection, while 20% shall go towards the digital transformation. The Member States have submitted their national recovery plans, and the first funds have been disbursed. It is the biggest EU economic stimulus package ever. The challenge now lies in the execution.
livestream debate (via Zoom): Corporate finance – How to steer the transformation after the Covid crisis?
While the precise impact varies from sector to sector, the Coronavirus generally has left a strong mark on the European economy. A broad policy response has alleviated the repercussions on European SMEs and corporates, albeit to a limited extent. Importantly, policymakers have already phased out some temporary support measures and will likely continue to do so in the near to medium term.
Online Event: Tackling supply chain management – the EU Due Diligence & Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directives
Moving beyond voluntary measures, the laws would require companies to scrutinize their own social and environmental impact all over the world, and to identify, prevent and remedy any harm to human rights or the environment their operations may cause.
Online Panel Discussion: Fiscal Policy after Corona: Debt Crisis or Stability?
The Corona crisis has exacerbated existing structural problems in the Member States and caused a steep rise of national debt. While the reference value of national debt limit was once fixed at 60% of the GDP, it has now risen far beyond in some member states.
Online-Roundtable: WTO Reform: New Leadership, New Hope?
The need for reform within the WTO goes without saying. From criticism concerning its undemocratic decision making and de facto suspension of the dispute settlement procedure to its inability to deal with imbalances stemming from state subsidies or market access – there are many things that need fixing.
Online Event: Taxing the Digital Economy: Opportunities and Consequences
Digital companies such as Google, Amazon or Facebook, whose business model does not require any physical presence in a certain location, benefit from an optimum use of tax loopholes and national tax advantages and pay minimal taxes on their enormous sales. Their contribution to community funding is therefore extremely low.
