Investment Plan for Europe – are we there yet?
“Investment is slowly improving, but the gap is still very large. The European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) is an important tool welcomed by businesses. But we will only make a real impact on investment if we turn Europe into a friendly place for business development. This is why the regulatory barriers of the investment plan is the most important in the long run,” said Markus J. Beyrer, Director General of BusinessEurope, during a panel debate with representatives from the European Parliament, EFSI, business, and think tanks, organised as part of the InvestWeek initiative. Markus J. Beyrer presented the just published position paper of BusinessEurope on extending the European Fund for Stratigic Investment which can be found here. Photos
