Exchanges on business priorities in view of the Czech EU Presidency

"We had good exchanges on business priorities and how to strengthen the EU Single Market and trade policy – which is promising", BusinessEurope Director General Markus J. Beyrer said after a meeting with the Czech Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Martina Tauberová on 6 December in Prague. In view of the upcoming Czech presidency of the Council of the EU, besides meeting with high-level representatives of the Czech government, Markus J. Beyrer and Deputy Director General Thérèse de Liedekerke also met board members and EU experts of the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic (SPCR). They discussed BusinessEurope’s key priorities, underlining the importance for European business to defend and further develop the Single Market, to stand up against overregulation and bureaucracy, and to advocate for an ambitious trade agenda and a clearer focus on how to make the green and digital transition happen. - Photos
