BusinessEurope President addresses Tripartite Social Summit

Speaking today at the Tripartite Social Summit, BusinessEurope President Emma Marcegaglia underlined the need for urgent action to improve European competitiveness. The reform objectives set out in the EU country-specific recommendations focus on the right issues but they are poorly implemented. All EU institutions and all decision-making levels must be mobilised to deliver framework conditions that will encourage industrial investment in Europe. The crisis has had an impact, but we cannot hide behind this excuse and continue to walk when the rest of the world is running.
