Abstract

The study examines the aspects of the European Union’s competitiveness and trade policy related to the successive Hungarian Presidency. It primarily aims to explore the situation, problem areas and opportunities of the Hungarian EU Presidency concerning two areas. It provides an overview of the priorities and related results of the previous consecutive presidency periods as regards two topics. Competitiveness is a comprehensive concept that interweaves and connects several operational areas of the European Commission, thus presenting the network of relationships of these areas, with regard to trade policy aspects. The current European challenges of competitiveness and trade policy create the possibility of continuing active presidency activities in these two areas. These are as follows: EU–China conflicts in the field of corporate subsidy; the use of Eastern opening to offset decoupling; compliance with carbon dioxide quotas; national distortions; small and big companies; innovation clusters; international trade negotiations; improving the commercial position of labour-intensive agricultural sectors.
