European election message sets out vision for globally competitive EU in 2019

The voice of business in Brussels today published its message to the next European Parliament in advance of the elections to be held in May. Its message ‘Picture a Global Europe’, sets out a vision of the EU in 2019 and calls upon MEPs to help make this vision a reality. Commenting on its publication, BUSINESSEUROPE President Emma Marcegaglia said: “Europe is at a turning point. We have spent the last five years essentially in crisis management mode, looking inward and tackling internal EU problems. We must now look outward, ensuring that Europe becomes more competitive on the global stage, in order to create the prosperity that both business and citizens aspire to. The European Parliament will play a crucial role in achieving this.”
