The full-day plenary, set to begin at 10:00 in the Justus Lipsius Building in Brussels, will address OECD coordination, sector-specific understandings, and the EU's export credit strategy.
The provisional agenda includes the adoption of the agenda (document CM 3593/26), updates from the OECD and Participants Group, discussions on Sector Understandings (SSU, ASU), and a dedicated item on EU export credit strategy, followed by Any Other Business. Delegates requiring day badges are directed to consult document 14387/1/12 REV 1 for instructions.
The Export Credits Group is a Council preparatory body that coordinates EU member states' export credit policies, aligning them with OECD rules and EU strategic objectives. The meeting will set the direction for EU export credit policy, covering coordination with the OECD and sector-specific rules that affect European exporters and financial institutions. The outcome may influence the competitiveness of EU exporters in third markets and the terms of officially supported export credits.
No prior coverage of this meeting exists in recent records. The meeting is expected to produce conclusions or recommendations that may feed into subsequent Council decisions or EU positions at the OECD.
