Mark your calendars for May 22, when American, German, Norwegian, Swedish Chambers of Commerce in Latvia will host a pre-election debate in the run-up to the European Parliament election scheduled for June 6-9, 2024.
Latvians along with millions of Europeans will have a chance to shape the future of the European Union. The Members of the European Parliament will formulate policies affecting both businesses and individuals, including those elected from Latvia.
In a time of significant political and geopolitical tensions, the new European Parliament will need to address a myriad of issues starting from post-pandemic economic recovery to climate change and environmental sustainability, from increased security threats to digital transformation.
The debate will spotlight parties' visions and priorities for a safe, competitive, sustainable, and prosperous Europe, with leading candidates from popular political parties. Moderated by Dr. Janis Ikstens, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Latvia, the debate offers a unique platform for the international business community to engage directly with future EU Parliament leaders.
