Message to the Belgian EU Presidency: Empower the European economy

Presidents of BusinessEurope’s member federations from all around Europe gathered in Brussels at the invitation of the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (VBO-FEB) on 23 and 24 November.
They presented business priorities for the upcoming Belgian EU Presidency to the Belgian government. "We urge the incoming Belgian Presidency to finalise the adoption of the proposals that are essential for the competitiveness and development of European SMEs", BusinessEurope President Fredrik Persson said. "We call on the Belgian Presidency to ensure that the EU creates
