“Competitiveness will certainly not be achieved by piling up legislation and increasing state intervention in the economy”, he said. “The focus must be on making business easier in Europe. This will help to release the full potential of European companies and workers”, Persson stated.
He pointed out 6 key actions the European business community expects from policy-makers before the next European elections: |
| finalise the adoption of a Net-Zero Industry Act and a Critical Raw Materials Act; deliver a reform of electricity market design; finalise mutually beneficial new trade agreements; agree on a credible and investment-friendly framework for economic governance; adopt the long-awaited e-declaration to notify a posting of workers. And, very importantly, deliver on the commitment to reduce companies’ reporting requirements by 25% and to fully apply competitiveness checks on all EU regulatory initiatives. |
