Public-private initiatives in countries outside the EU

This procedure examines how the European Union's trade and investment rules affect public-private partnerships and initiatives in countries outside the EU. It aims to ensure that EU commercial policies support sustainable development and do not hinder the ability of non-EU nations to implement public interest projects.

This will primarily affect EU investors, international trade partners, and developing countries. It may lead to adjustments in how the EU structures investment agreements to better balance commercial interests with global public welfare.
