Stronger Together: Improving Europe’s Competitiveness Through the Transatlantic Relationship

Stronger Together: Improving Europe’s Competitiveness Through the Transatlantic Relationship

29. 5. 2024 | PR, Transformative Power of Digital

How to improve Europe’s competitiveness through transatlantic relations?

This was the guiding question for a discussion we co-organised with the Atlantic Council in Warshaw on 29 May 2024. This was one of the discussions organized as part of the series promoting our recently launched publication Improving Europe’s Competitiveness – Role of Open Markets, Emerging Technologies, and Strategic Alliances.

The topic of increasing the EU’s competitiveness is a hot topic nowadays, especially in the period before the EU elections. At the discussion, the speakers focused on the obstacles and opportunities ahead of the EU Commission’s and parliament’s next mandate for increasing the EU’s competitiveness, especially related to new technologies and transatlantic partnership.

Continued and strong transatlantic cooperation is vital, especially for CEE countries, from two perspectives: geopolitical and practical. Strong transatlantic partnership can help, especially, smaller CEE countries that do not have the capacities for the economies of scale to catch up with the rest of EU countries.

All European countries are small compared to other countries, making the EU single market and its further integration the engine of its competitiveness. But while fragmentation of the European market decelerates scaling up, it does have positive consequences for consumers as it contributes to larger internal competition.

One of the primary missions of the next mandate should be to implement all the newly adopted regulations. This is especially vital for SMEs – the pockets of competitiveness in CEE countries. It should be noted that regulation is not the same as a restriction; regulation is also clarity and stability.

To be able to fully tap into the potential of AI and other new technologies, we need a robust data strategy if we wish to be competitive in the field. Additionally, one of the main issues that can spur competitiveness and growth is mobilisation of public and private investments.

This was discussed by

  • Mr. Aleksander Siemaszko, Deputy Director, Department for International Trade and Cooperation, Ministry of Development and Technology of the Republic of Poland
  • Amb. Tadej Rupel, National Coordinator for External Aspects of Digitalization, AI & Cyber Security, Republic of Slovenia
  • Ms. Eglė Markevičiūtė, Head of Digital & Innovation Policy, Consumer Choice Center of Lithuania
  • Mr. Marcin Nowacki, Vice President of the Board, Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP)

The discussion was moderated by Mr. Aaron Korewa, Director, Warsaw Office, Europe Center, Atlantic Council

Many thanks to the Atlantic Council for this fruitful cooperation!

 

Consultations with MUP Serbia confirm revised plan for implementation of activities

Consultations with MUP Serbia confirm revised plan for implementation of activities

28. 5. 2024 | PR, Serbia - management of patrols

Today, we concluded consultations with the Serbian Ministry of Interior, with the successful collaboration of the Police Directorate of Serbia, the Information and Communication Technology Service (SIKT), the Slovenian Police, the Embassy of Slovenia in Serbia, and CEP as the facilitator of the discussions. Together, we defined a confirmed major step that will lead to the successful conclusion of Project Phase III. According to a detailed plan, the technical implementation of a revised system for patrol management will continue. By the end of 2024, two new police directorates in Serbia will be included in the pilot project.

Discussions showed that the transfer of best practices from Slovenia through the Slovenian Police is of great importance. However, it is also crucial that our partnership enables the adaptation of Slovenian good practices to the requirements and specifics of the Serbian landscape. Our trusted partner, ZZI, makes a significant contribution in this respect.

The patrol management system is a crucial tool that will enable our Serbian partners to facilitate efficient field operations, enhance the safety of civilians and police officers, and rationalize work processes. The system’s importance was further solidified during the recent visit to Slovenia in May 2024.

Activities are part of Slovenian development cooperation, financed by the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior of Slovenia and the Slovenian police.

The participants enhanced their knowledge and gained a comprehensive insight into climate security-related topics such as the 9 planetary boundaries, water security, climate risks and vulnerabilities, the international legal framework on climate change, the UN and EU approach to climate security in peace operations, human migration linked to climate change and the gender perspective of climate security, among others.

At the conclusion of the training, Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon personally awarded certificates to the participants at Jable Castle on May 22nd.

POTC would like to express gratitude to Minister Fajon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Slovenia, the driven participants, and the expert trainers who made the training an overall success. We look forward to the further development of the training content with the feedback gained and lessons learned.
