SUMMARY:Preference Utilisation
DESCRIPTION:Details \nEver heard of “preference” in trade? It’s like rolling out the red carpet for certain products based on where they’re from. If your products align with the origin rules in a Trade Agreement\, it can unlock the door to reduced tariffs\, more lenient quotas\, and favourable trade terms. \nIn simpler terms\, meeting origin requirements in an agreement grants your product “preference.” This means you’re paying lower tariffs than those non-qualifying goods. \nHigh utilisation rates signal businesses are able to comply with preferential rules of origin\, qualifying for tariff perks. On the flip side\, low utilisation might mean some hurdles are getting in the way of tapping into these benefits. \nJoin our webinar\, as we dive into the details\, guiding you on how to leverage these benefits to your advantage. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\nLiam Smyth\n– Director of Trade Facilitation\, British Chambers of Commerce \nPaul Wrighting\n– Trade Training and Compliance Manager \nRoss Young\n– Senior Policy Advisor \n  \nRegister here: Microsoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams

They will explore lessons learnt from past recessions\, in particular the differences and similarities with the last major economic crash of 2008. \nWe will hear their thoughts on the immediate interventions and future strategic considerations which are needed to address a catastrophic fallout\, including inevitable job cuts\, which will lead to unprecedentedly high levels of unemployment. They will also discuss how to restart\, rebuild and renew our economy\, in order to ensure long-term sustainable growth and a more robust and resilient global economy that can better defend itself against future major world events. \nFinally\, the former Prime Minister and Dr Marshall will also consider those big universal challenges: a new way to trade as we move into new future international trade relationships\, future tech-driven industries and a need for relevant skills\, climate change\, diverse representative leaders\, and UK’s continued competitiveness and its role as a global leader in these and other areas. \nThere will also be an opportunity to put questions to Gordon Brown\, in this unmissable virtual event.

SUMMARY:Resilience in a Time of Crisis
DESCRIPTION:In 1962\, Dame Stephanie (Steve) Shirley created a software company\, Freelance Programmers when the concept of software barely existed. \nThrough her business Steve empowered a generation of women in technology\, giving them unheard of flexibility in their working pattern. She went on to create a global business and a personal fortune shared with her colleagues; through transfer of ownership she made 70 of her staff millionaires. \nSince retiring in 1993\, her focus has been increasingly on philanthropy based on her strong belief in giving back to society. Steve’s personal journey is as compelling as her trailblazing career\, and her engrossing life story is filled with lessons in human resilience in a time of tragedy and crisis\, never more relevant than in the world today. \nIn this very personal conversation with ‘Steve’\, we aim to gain insight into the lessons we might learn as people and as businesses from a long personal journey in life\, business\, entrepreneurship and philanthropy of a person who has been recognised during her life as one of the 100 most powerful women in Britain and a pioneering workplace revolutionary.

SUMMARY:What does the impact of Coronavirus mean for UK/EU-German relations?
DESCRIPTION:Germany is the UK’s 2nd largest trading partner after the US\, beyond the EU as a whole. \nThe UK and German governments work together on trade/ investment\, economic\, political\, cultural\, defence and security matters and benefit from a close relationship that is based on mutual respect and trust. \nThe UK’s recent withdrawal from the EU has led to concern about how future bilateral relations will be impacted. Both countries have pledged to ensure that these economic\, political and cultural ties are not severed\, but if anything\, intensified. \nHowever\, the recent global pandemic crisis is inevitably placing strain on all economies across the world and the negative effects of Coronavirus on both economies will clearly add to those already existing due to Brexit challenges. \nIt is predicted that many negative effects will occur especially in industry\, and particularly in respect of supply chains. It is expected that trade will resume fully only once Coronavirus restrictions are lifted and\, depending on Brexit negotiations\, be further hindered from the uncertainty brought about by the UK’s insistence that\, irrespective of the effects of the pandemic\, it does not plan to extend the Brexit transition period\, which could again raise the question around whether the UK will exit the EU on WTO terms. \nJoin us for this fascinating webinar discussion between colleagues from the British Chamber of Commerce in Germany and our Director General\, Adam Marshall. \nAndreas Glunz\, Member of the Advisory Board of the BCCG (and Managing Partner\, KPMG)\nTuesday Porter\, Member of the Supervisory Board of TüV Nord AG\nGerd Stürz\, Vice President of the BCCG
