by Tom Lake

Note: Title changed on September 7 to include 'Political Risk'.

All timings subject to change.

Monday 7 September:

• European Union: Representatives from the European Commission, Council, and Parliament meet to hold a 'dialogue meeting' on the proposed multiannual financial framework (MFF, the EU's long-term budget). Main sticking points surround 'own resources' (the Commission's ability to raise its own funds), and a mechanism to introduce sanctions on member states whose governments circumvent the rule of law.
• UK-Canada: UK Department for International Trade starts next round of FTA talks with Canadian counterparts. The UK is seeking to rollover the CETA agreement in place between Canada and the EU.
• Europe:EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Josep Borrell and EU special envoy Miroslav Lajcak hold talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti for talks on seeking to normalise relations between the two Balkan nations. Comes days after a breakthrough engineered in part by the Trump administration in the US, in which both sides agreed to normalise economic relations.
• United States: Public holiday for Labor Day.
• Brazil: Public holiday for Independence Day.
