EU business proposals ahead of the European Council

Ahead of the video conference of the members of the European Council on 23 April 2020, BusinessEurope President Pierre Gattaz and Director General Markus J. Beyrer sent a letter to the President of the European Council, Charles Michel and to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. BusinessEurope pleads for a co-ordinated European response to the present coronavirus crisis. We underline the need to better communicate on the emergency measures taken at European level to support Member States. We urge them to take a risk-based approach to organise the exit from current emergency measures. We call for a co-ordinated EU recovery plan, with the EU Corona Response Investment Initiative as the foundation for this broader EU recovery plan. Read the letter here
