Ibec Europe & Global Focus

Welcome to the Spring 2024 edition of the Ibec Europe & Global Focus.

This edition focuses the upcoming European Parliament elections which will take place from 6-9 June in the context of geopolitical developments. Ibec’s engagement in the European elections through our Electing for Business campaign is set out in this edition, outlining our priorities and examining the political context.

On the elections, we present the candidates running, the European political groups’ manifestos, a timeline with key dates, and the key European Parliament committees for business.

We also present Ibec’s sector associations’ priorities for the next EU mandate, profile the work of our member daa Group, provide update and analysis of global trade developments such as on the World Trade Organisation, Economic Security, and trade relations with third countries. We include our St. Patrick’s Day engagements and other events and activities, along with much more.
