The INTA Committee held a workshop discussing with distinguished academics from the EU, the US and Asia the implications of the US withdrawal from TPP for the TPP countries, the Pacific region and the EU. The debate allowed to shed more light on possible future scenarios and the ramifications of this US decision for EU trading partners as well as its impact on the EU's own trading agenda.

Twelve Asia-Pacific countries - Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, New Zealand, Singapore, the US and Vietnam - concluded negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in late 2015. It was seen as a landmark free trade arrangement, similar to the EU's new-generation FTAs. On his first day in the office, in January 2017, President Donald Trump decided to withdraw the US from the TPP.

The Workshop intended to work-out the typical barriers that SMEs face when they try to move beyond their national boundaries, e.g. access to finance, insufficient in-house knowledge on foreign markets, etc. As to obtain authentic insights of what the problems really are with which small entrepreneurs are confronted, the workshop offered a platform for a number of selected entrepreneurs from various European regions and business sectors so that they could speak for themselves.

In 2014, the more than 22 million of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the EU28 accounted for 99.8 % of all enterprises in the non-financial business sector. These SMEs employed almost 90 million people - 67% of total employment, and generated 58% of the sector’s value added. Yet, only about 13 % of EU SMEs venture abroad and even a smaller share engage in business activities in countries outside the Single Market. The new European strategy 'Trade for all' has put a special focus on the untapped potential of Europe's SMEs integration into the world market.
