Window of opportunity to bring Europe back on track?

On the release of the 2015 Winter Economic Forecast of the European Commission on February 5th, BUSINESSEUROPE Director General Markus J. Beyrer stated: “There is clear evidence that those Member States that have undertaken ambitious structural reforms in recent years are now the ones with the most significant growth rates.” The examples of Ireland, Spain but also the United Kingdom show that investing in competitiveness is ultimately supporting growth and job creation. However, overall growth in the EU unfortunately remains much too weak to solve the vital problem of high unemployment.
