Director General Markus J. Beyrer calls upon the EU for smart policy

"European business is very much on board when it comes to shifting towards a circular economy. We are committed to take more actions as circular economy offers opportunities for all businesses along the entire value chain. What we need now is that EU institutions continue to amplify actions towards ‘smart policy’", BusinessEurope Director General Markus J. Beyrer said at the Sustainable Industry Conference in the context of Circular Economy in Kosice, Slovakia on 13 September. He added: "Smart policy starts by making the best use of existing legislations. It is about looking at existing barriers and about making sure that it does not create a distortion between public and private operators." The high level conference was organized by BusinessEurope’s Slovak member RUZ and welcomed representatives from industry, politics and civil society. Photos - Speech
