Talks with French President Emmanuel Macron
“After five years of growth, we are now in the strongest period of post-crisis recovery, and we are witnessing an overall positive political situation in Europe. What is sure is that if we want this positive trend to last and consolidate we should not be lulled into complacency. On the contrary, we should use this window of opportunity created by a favourable economic and political situation to make further reforms, strengthen the EU’s capacity to face bad economic weather in the future and mobilise in strategic areas such as the common trade policy, the single market and industrial policy”. This was the core message President Emma Marcegaglia voiced during talks at the official dinner offered by the President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron during the French International Business Summit “Choose France!” held on 22 January 2018 at the Château de Versailles.
