| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the last few years, Europe is facing many challenges. These include difficulties in managing a single currency mechanism, influx of refugees, crisis in Ukraine, terrorist attacks, rise of populism and British exit from the European Union (EU). Despite these difficulties, the EU is still a major economy with huge capacities to influence issues concerning global governance. As a major trade and investment partner of India, developments in Europe have significant implications for the Indian economy and India-EU ties. After a few years of sluggishness, India-EU strategic partnership is again gaining momentum with an agreed Agenda for Action 2020. As negotiations on bilateral trade and investment agreement may take time, both India and the EU are focusing on other areas where increased consultations can lead to concrete outcomes. The areas include climate change, energy, environment, counter-terrorism, maritime security, science and technology, development cooperation, migration and mobility, civil society linkages and dialogues on Asia and Africa. |
