Cooperation in Stormy Times

Globalisation is gasping for air. Even within the united economic block of the European Union, certain interests often take precedence over the common good of the community. One example is the so-called mobility package, which has reduced production mobility and increased logistics costs for EU residents.

The splendour of community in times of peace and prosperity is fading. In turbulent and stormy times we discover just how important cooperation is. Russia’s attack on Ukraine is the greatest test of international solidarity that the transatlantic community has faced since World War 2. Individual states are supporting the efforts of the Ukrainian people to oppose Russian imperialism with varying levels of intensity and commitment.
