Strengthening the EMU is fundamental to rebuilding trust in the euro

Completing the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), as set out in the Five Presidents’ report, is both a priority and a matter of urgency for business. Strengthening the EMU will be fundamental to rebuilding trust in the euro, and in turn in the European project, and can signal the renewed commitment of individual member states both in terms of solidarity and responsibility. This is the message members of BusinessEurope Economic and Financial Affairs Committee shared with Thomas Wieser, President of the Euro Working Group and the Council’s Economic and Financial Committee. Mr Wieser addressed the committee meeting on 10 February, speaking in particular about the ongoing debate on the future of the Economic and Monetary Union.
