Bernd Lange chaired a conference organized by the S&D Group on the future of trade policy. This conference was a great opportunity for a frank and open discussion between social democrats from national parliaments across Europe, Members from both national parliaments and the European Parliament.

He had the pleasure to receive Dirk Wiese from the Bundestag. The conference was the perfect opportunity for a good discussion on the role of parliamentarians at the national and European level in scrutinizing trade policy and for building a progressive agenda for trade for the future.
