European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos has expressed her support for the recent appointment of Oleksandr Tsyvinsky as the new Director of the Bureau of Economic Security (BES). Kos emphasized the importance of the role in ensuring the EU’s economic resilience and safeguarding its economic interests in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. The BES, under Tsyvinsky’s leadership, is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the Union’s economic security strategy and fostering secure trade practices.
The selection of Tsyvinsky, a seasoned economist with extensive experience in international trade and economic policy, has been welcomed by EU officials as a positive development. His appointment is viewed as a strategic move to enhance the EU’s ability to respond to economic threats and maintain its competitive edge on the global stage. Kos noted that the BES will be instrumental in addressing challenges related to trade policies, sanctions enforcement, and economic cooperation among member states.
The appointment of a new BES director comes at a time when the EU is facing growing economic uncertainties, including tensions with Russia and the ongoing effects of global economic shifts. Kos’s endorsement of Tsyvinsky underscores the European Union’s commitment to maintaining a robust and secure economic framework. The BES is tasked with coordinating economic security initiatives and ensuring that the EU remains a leader in global economic affairs.
