The Single Market in the Evolving European Economic Crisis:

Opportunity, Constraint, Threat?

 

Wednesday 28 March 2012, 17.30-19.30

Council Chamber, Main Building

Cardiff University

 

 

The fourth roundtable in our series considers the future of the Single Market in the light of the global financial and economic crisis, and in the very recent context of the December 9^th 2011 and January 29^th 2012 summits. How have UK views towards the Single Market evolved over the past twenty years? Can the UK preserve its key interests in the Single Market from the position of being outside of the intergovernmental treaty and the Euro?  How does the business community view the Single Market, specifically from the Welsh perspective? Would the Single Market be able to resist a revival of protectionist pressures? This roundtable will bring together distinguished academic, professional and political speakers from across Wales, the UK and Europe to explore the implications of these changes for the UK and Wales and the potential strategic options that UK and Welsh governments face in the future.
