The Group, which will be chaired by the T\u00e1naiste, is being established to facilitate engagement with key domestic stakeholders on latest and emerging trade developments and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the Consultative Group, the T\u00e1naiste said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cEstablishing this consultative forum is an early priority of mine as T\u00e1naiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. Protectionism, national security concerns and geo-strategic considerations are increasingly shaping national policies on international trade, including in some of Ireland\u2019s largest trade partners. The Irish economy is highly globalised and as a result is more sensitive to developments around the world. Maintaining Ireland\u2019s status as an open, global economy is a priority for this Government and engaging with business sector representatives will help to shape our policy responses.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The T\u00e1naiste is also today announcing the establishment of a US-based Strategic Economic Advisory Panel, as part of our efforts to intensify our outreach in the United States. In line with the commitment in the Programme for Government, this Panel will be composed of senior decision makers in key business sectors in the US. The Panel will provide insights on strategic economic opportunities for Ireland in the critically important and mutually beneficial US-Ireland economic relationship.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In respect of the Strategic Economic Advisory Panel, the T\u00e1naiste added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<em>The Strategic Economic Advisory Panel will ensure that the Government hears directly from senior US-based business people, invested in key sectors in the United States. The extensive\u00a0US-Ireland\u00a0economic\u00a0<wbr \/>relationship\u00a0delivers\u00a0<wbr \/>prosperity and jobs on both sides of the Atlantic. As we seek to maintain &amp; deepen this partnership, the Panel\u2019s advice and analysis on ensuring Ireland\u2019s competitiveness as an economic partner of the US into the future will be crucial.\u2019<\/em>\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New initiatives will facilitate engagement between Government and key business stakeholders in Ireland and the United States on international trade policy and economic opportunities \u00a0 &nbsp; The T\u00e1naiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Simon Harris TD has secured the agreement of Government to establish a Consultative Group on International Trade Policy.
